Since this thread got bumped, I decided to take it again and see if I'd gotten more signs of "IMS" since the last time I posted;
Your score is: 16
0-25.None or few signs of IMS.
Apparently not -- I should join the ranks of Buddhist monks or something. Maybe I'm just too happy with my life?
And yet, I still stick behind my vehement dismissal of this pop culture non-science lame-brained fuckwitted survey, as my first post clarifies:

I really think that question was the best in the article. The answer sucked, because that question is [valid]. Labelling this is a "disorder" just adds it to the laundry list of pyschological "disorders" that one can use to defend or rationalize asshole behavior. Hormones go up and down, but we're not rams. We have control over how we react in any given situation, and if you know anything about people you know they are NOT predictable. A man could have 0% testosterone and be a pacifist, or he could be the angriest summabitch you ever met. What's important to me, however.. is not his chemical levels.. but how he reacts -- that determines what kind of MAN he truly is.
And really, this test doesn't say much. "When stressed, men tend to be more irritable." HOLY SHIT BATMAN! ...
