    This quiz is about how superstitious you are. Try to pick out the superstitious answers, not what you would do or how you'd react.

    9/10 - picking out the superstitious answers
    3/10 - what I would do/react

    Picking out the superstitious answers is easy in most cases - just the one that sounds most ridiculous. (9/10)

    I do step around ladders, rather than walk under them. I don't want paint or window wash falling on me. (1/10)

    Are You Superstitious?
    Not superstitious
    You probably make a point of stepping on cracks in the sidewalk and opening umbrellas in the house. (The more questions you answered "correctly," the more superstitious you are.) You got 0/10 correct.

    [​IMG] You got 10/10 correct when choosing superstitious answers purposefully

    Answering as myself: You got 7/10 correct.

    It is unlikely that 13 is your favorite number, but you probably don't have any qualms about saying "MacBeth." (The more questions you answered "correctly," the more superstitious you are.)

    Well, actually I refuse to say Macbeth anyway, it's a great way to annoy friends if anything :D

    10/10 faking it, and 3/10 for real. It shouldn't come as a surprise that I answered "Here, kitty, kitty." for the first one. :shake:

    On the contrary, I don't pay attention to cracks (anymore :D ) and I don't open umbrellas anwhere it isn't raining because it's just too hard to get them out the door that way.

    !0/10 and 2/10.

    Very much so.

    As for the supersticions, I knew 8/10, but only do 1 of them, and the ladder thing is more common sense (that and I'm abot 6'2 and 300 lbs)...

    1/10. I would walk around the ladder only because something might fall on my head.

    You got 1/10 correct.

    now, trying to be stupid:

    8/10.

    seriously though, I got the 1 because, who in their right mind would walk under a ladder if you could easily skirt around it? damn thing might fall on you :eek:

    Yep, it's been stood there for however many hours/days and it's going to chose the instant you walk under it to fall over.
    Besides, Ladders generally fall sideways.

    Testing my knowledge on superstition I got them all right. A couple of them I just guessed, they're pretty predictable.

    For what I'd do, I got 2/10, and here's why:
    - walking under a ladder might land me a burly construction worker smack into my skull and break my other neck (I have only two heads, ya know)
    - I don't have any pictures to give, and I'm not about to hand someone a $50 bill!!!

    I knew the superstitious response for all 10.

    In real life I would only do the walk around the ladder thing - like everyone else seems to be saying it seems foolish to risk having paint or window washing water or the ladder itself fall on you by walking under the ladder.

    Actually, if I was limited to the choices provided I would probably also give the penny in the wallet. I would normally put nothing in the wallet but I would rather include only a penny instead of $50. Putting in a photo of myself would seem incredibly arrogant and vain so that is just plain out of the question.

    Yeah, and putting money in it could seem the same. But I didn't like the whole shiny penny thing, so I went for the $50 note.
