You are prefectly adapted to work on the peninsula without loosing your mind. You also have the least interesting possible results coming away from this test... Since you're not an inherently interesting person, you should try to take it again pretending to be someone who is.

Funny answers, but not exactly a lot of questions.

Translation? Of what? I was looking at your profile on the site out of curiosity.

They said I couldn't hack it in Korea and should go somewhere else. That's probably because I wouldn't respond in a similar fashion to any of those answers...strangely enough, I don't find spitting on my shoe to be acceptable due to cultural differences, so I chose the funny answer.

Oh, trust me, I spit on the imaginary ajossi's shoe too.

I was confused by the "... Embarassed "
Option A) speaker pauses out of embarrassment and then spits out the awkward truth.
Option B) speaker pauses out of embarrassment, then subsitutes a more acceptable word in place of intended meaning.

I take it the answer was A), and my response is "Hey! I'm PLENTY old."

Although you're a decent enough person, it's unlikely that you could change your stripes enough to make it here. Though fun and level enough, you probably can't kiss ass enough and wrap your mind around illogic enough to thrive here. Try somewhere saner.


Hmmmph!

I think this half-assed test produced a half-true result.....

Quote:
You're kind of in love with Korea. And you hate it too. You can't understand why you stay here but you have a pretty good time when you're here. You hate some of the things about the the culture but you appreciate how safe it is and how easy it is to make money here. The people are schizoprenic but when they're good they're very very good and when they're bad they're very very bad.


Tell me something I didn't know....

Whatever. No-one's ever spat on my shoe. Or tried hooking up with western women while cock-blocking me. The guys in Parliament are a bunch of bitches and that's no more than commonly accepted truth. I avoid orders I don't wish to follow by failing to understand any but the most explicit logically coherent ones, which are the ones I'm happy to follow anyway. And if I was a Western woman I damn well would make a scene.

My test tracked 3 variables How you compared to other people your age and gender:

You scored higher than 99% on spankability

You scored higher than 99% on Koreaphilehood

You scored higher than 99% on human worth
