A Reckoning

I have always avoided those assessments that show up in magazines and on social media.  You are familiar with those point-assigned quizzes that ask, ‘Who Is Your Soul Mate?’, ‘What Kind of Dating Personality Are You?’ or, ‘Is My Relationship Healthy?’

The directions tell you to read the question and indicate your answer in the appropriate checkbox.  There is a point system for each response.  At the end, you tally the numbers and they give you a score for earned points.  It looks something like this.  If you scored:

• 1-5.       You better go back to the drawing board
• 6-10.     You’re not out of the game yet
• 11-15    You’re not bad, but don’t quit your day job
• 16-20    People should pay attention to you
• 21-25    You’ve got it all together.  Did you lie?
