I'm so cynical, I don't believe in tests...

you can't say top grade cynics without mentioning the most hardcore in history, Diogenes.

Most men are within a finger's breadth of being mad.
Diogenes the Cynic

[When asked what was the proper time for supper] If you are a rich man, whenever you please; and if you are a poor man, whenever you can.
Diogenes the Cynic, from Diogenes Laertius, Lives of Eminent Philosophers

and my favorite:

It was the naked showman Diogenes who, masturbating wildly, in the town square, said, "I just wish I could assuage the hunger in my belly by rubbing it."

Just as I suspected; after taking the test I barely have a cynical bone in my body.

Yeah, same with me... Or maybe my standards for honesty and truth are too high?

Top grade cynic, knew that's what I would get.

Is there much worse than being a second-rate cynic?

Me to. I think that is pretty accurate. I still have the idea that things will work out OK, but I am not surprised when they don't.
