Nature or Nurture ?
Mom arrived this morning and we've enjoyed a full day cookie-baking, sharing make-up tips, and discussing feminine hygiene products.
I also administered the Asshole/Bitch test to her and we're both pleased to discover that she's a mere 27% A/B. Naturally, this led me to suspect the test's accuracy. Although Mom and I fall into the same general Bitch range, I can't help but wonder how the hell my quotient (30%) is higher than hers. Then, I had a brilliant - and scientifically-valid - idea: I completed the questionnaire for my father (posthumously) and found out that in spite of my skewed idealism he is (was), give or take, 47% Asshole/Bitch! Although his score is far lower than Kurt's, it still explains a lot!
Moreover, further calculations reveal that I seem to have fallen notably below the mean Asshole/Bitch average for both parents. Now I understand how those Drosophila experiments we did in high school Biology can make sense in the real world!

I answered the quesions honestly. Does that make a difference?
It's very possible Dad's score could be even higher than yours, but as he has been dead for over 20 years, I had only my general memory of him, and my genetic intuition, to guide me. I sincerely tried to ignore the love I feel for him when answering the questions, since a) he's not alive, so it can't be "real" love anyway, and b) my therapist requires me to do this on a regular basis.
wait, i'm lost. your therapist requires you not to feel love for your father?
No, just to ignore it.
