Is there a website to take this test somewhere?
I'm only seeing a "short version" linked that has one question (and a horrible one at that, it's a ranking of 5 things that are all about "average Americans"). Based on this question alone, I'm forced to assume the test itself was stupid yet their conclusion is likely correct.
Agreed, that question is worthless. What's "average"?
And whats a long-haul flight? I was assuming a transatlantic return flight, which ticks in at 2t. Yet their result shows less than half of that.
All I know is the "average" person has slightly less than one testicle.
Hiding in there is the short version of the quiz

Dw it's a stupid test that doesn't use any real numbers and instead hinges on "the average american" so it's all a guessing game about american consumption
