Mike, Dan, Erica…take this test.

via Dead Frog and Elephant Larry, here is a pseudoscientific way to test where our senses of humor lie. You guys take this one too. On principle, I don’t usually endorse these quizzy things, cause they’re annoying, but this one’s a good one. I am personally prouder of my darkness percentile than my darkness score.

the Wit
(76% dark, 26% spontaneous, 15% vulgar)
your humor style:
CLEAN | COMPLEX | DARK




You like things edgy, subtle, and smart. I guess that means you’re
probably an intellectual, but don’t take that to mean pretentious. You
realize ‘dumb’ can be witty—after all isn’t that the Simpsons’
philosophy?—but rudeness for its own sake, ‘gross-out’ humor and most
other things found in a fraternity leave you totally flat.

I guess you just have a more cerebral approach than most. You have the perfect mindset for a joke writer or staff writer.

Your sense of humor takes the most thought to appreciate, but it’s also the best, in my opinion.



You probably loved the Office. If you don’t know what I’m

Here's my results...I wouldn't say it's completely off the mark. I only wish it took alcohol consumption into consideration.

the Cutting Edge
(76% dark, 46% spontaneous, 10% vulgar)
your humor style:
CLEAN | SPONTANEOUS | DARK

Your humor's mostly innocent and off-the-cuff, but somehow there's something slightly menacing about you. Part of your humor is making people a little uncomfortable, even if the things you say aren't themselves confrontational. You probably have a very dry delivery, or are seriously over-the-top.

Your type is the most likely to appreciate a good insult and/or broken bone and/or very very fat person dancing.
