This quiz was the
result of my effort to find a a cheap place to live when I returned to
college in 1995. After several bad experiences answering ads for
roomies, I decided to create my own advertisement. Although I was the
one seeking a room, I decided to create a quiz for those
"applying" for the scary job of becoming my landlord.
This is the main part of the flyers I posted
around the school. And, fortunately, it garnered several responses and
helped me find a roommate who wasn't required by court order to take
regular doses of Thorazine.
