  1. I scored “between 5 and 8” out of 20: “You can see through your bubble, but you need to get out more.”

    Some of the questions were actually quite interesting, but the one about “participating” in a parade was poorly worded. Did the writer mean “marched in” or “witnessed/watched” or “marched in and/or watched”? There’s a sense in which I’m “participating” in a parade-event even if all I’m doing is watching the parade.

    Yep, that’s the score I got too.

    I get out enough, I think.

  3. According to this test, I “might not even realize I’m in a bubble” (0 to 4).

    I’m sure I could have gotten a negative score, but I answered honestly. My Dad was a master mechanic.

  4. I couldn’t access the link, so I don’t know what is meant by “bauble” . . . but I guess it doesn’t matter.

  5. Finally, access! Got 17 out of 20 . . . is that good? Still don’t know what “bauble” means. Or was it “Babel”?

    Don’t worry ’bout it Jeff. Since we grew up in the same town, after I clicked the 20th – it came up “You don’t even have a bauble.” Or if it was a Babel – that neither.

    Figuring all we might have, me definitely, a bellybutton. Leastways us Arkies.

    you scored between 13 and 16. In other words, you don’t even have a bubble.

    Spoken like somebody who got between 5 and 8 out of 20!
