Oh, alas. I am a terrible 1930s housewife.

Gacked from mellow_dk:

14 As a 1930s wife, I am Very Poor (Failure) Take the test!

Alack and alas.

On the other hand, knowing that I wear the pants in this house, I tried the 'husband' test.

80 As a 1930s husband, I am Very Superior Take the test!

Hahaha, I got a 3! Any man in my future had better watch out.

[icarusancalion.livejournal.com]

This test is all kinds of amusing.

[sociofemme.livejournal.com]

Oh dear. I'm a little ashamed of my results.

(76. Very Superior. Oh dear.)

[lilac-way.livejournal.com]

Hee -- me too! I'll have to report to the dh he's exceptionally lucky.

[icarusancalion.livejournal.com]

Absolutely. Take full advantage of this.

[icarusancalion.livejournal.com]

You must be an agreeable, sweet person (and like kids; do you like kids?).

Most people I know are getting in the negative numbers. (I can't wait to give WG the male version of this test. He's going to flunk so badly.)

[sociofemme.livejournal.com]

It's the housekeeping and cooking ones--which I would do were I single or living platonically, so it doesn't even count.

And for the kids ones, I mentally substituted "partner's friends," which worked surprisingly well--especially that one about breaking up quarrels. Although I do like other people's kids well enough, I suppose.

[malnpudl.livejournal.com]

I got a -3. I didn't even know negative numbers were possible. *beams*

[icarusancalion.livejournal.com]

My f-list delving deep into the negative numbers. Heh.

-11 As a 1930s wife, I am Very Poor (Failure) Take the test!

I thought I would be embarrassingly high with the whole cooking and cleaning and keeping house bit. Apparently, I am saved by not having (or wanting) children.

[icarusancalion.livejournal.com]

I knew my slovenliness would knock a few points off my score. *g*

Aahahah, I beat you all.

[monanotlisa.livejournal.com]

Re: Aahahah, I beat you all.

[malnpudl.livejournal.com]

*crowns you*

Awesome.

Re: Aahahah, I beat you all.

[icarusancalion.livejournal.com]

Congratulations.

I expected myself to do much worse. From the result of my f-list, 14 on this test is... uncommon.

Re: Aahahah, I beat you all.

[icarusancalion.livejournal.com]

You've lost your crown already. starcrossedgirl got -34.

*impressed*

Re: Aahahah, I beat you all.

[tazlet.livejournal.com]

And I got -45!

Re: Aahahah, I beat you all.

[icarusancalion.livejournal.com]

That is one of the better scores. *g*

Wow.

[starcrossedgirl.livejournal.com]

Re: Wow.

[icarusancalion.livejournal.com]

I'm removing the crown from Mona and giving it to you! *bows*

Re: Wow.

[monanotlisa.livejournal.com]

Okay, wow. *bow*

[wyomingnot.livejournal.com]

(Betcha didn't know it can go at least as low as -85. I'm a crappy wife in any era)

[icarusancalion.livejournal.com]

And the winner is--!

I just learned I make a much better husband:

[wyomingnot.livejournal.com]

Now why didn't I think of going that route? D'oh.

:)

[icarusancalion.livejournal.com]

What did you get as a husband? *looks perky and interested*

[wyomingnot.livejournal.com]

I'm just a crap spouse. Though apparently a much better husband than wife.

It's all relative, I suppose.

[sarka.livejournal.com]

This amuses me. I got a -6, but I guess that being a fairly decent cook heightened the score. Or something.

[seneska-bicku.livejournal.com]

Oh dear, I got 0. That very very bad.

EDIT: hadn't seen the minus numbers above. That makes me feel marginally better.

xx

[icarusancalion.livejournal.com]

I don't think we actually want to be excellent 1930s housewives.

[nicocoer.livejournal.com]

Um.



Eh?

[nicocoer.livejournal.com]

*headdesk*

[icarusancalion.livejournal.com]

Congratulations!

This is a little embarrassing

[dunv-i.livejournal.com]

Re: This is a little embarrassing

[tazlet.livejournal.com]

Oh, thank god! You got me beat.

Re: This is a little embarrassing

[icarusancalion.livejournal.com]

I am filled with awe. You're an inspiration to us all.

[gehayi.livejournal.com]

I have no idea what kind of a wife I'd be, but apparently I'd be a fantastic husband:

[nicocoer.livejournal.com]

*Bows to your awesome*

[tekalynn.livejournal.com]

I'm 28 (Poor) as a wife and 85 (Very Superior) as a husband.

I think expectations are a lot lower for the husband, that's why.

[icarusancalion.livejournal.com]

That's a very good point. Golly, who do you think wrote the list of expectations?

[enname.livejournal.com]

Oh my god. I got .... -42.

How disappointing.

Clearly I need to work harder on some of my worst traits, I am sure I could clock in a good -100.

[icarusancalion.livejournal.com]

If you need lessons in poor housekeeping, I am at your service. *doffs cap*

[cornix.livejournal.com]

No wonder I'm single!

[icarusancalion.livejournal.com]

Oh no! LOL.

Good thing we don't live in the 1930s, eh? Because I always forget to wipe the top of the milk bottle before I open it. *nods*

[tty63.livejournal.com]

4(wife) and 99(husband). I'm very glad I live now. It's the little things I appreciate, like sleeping in instead of making breakfast. (Not that I'm married, but I can still appreciate the thought. :)

[icarusancalion.livejournal.com]

Notice we all get uniformly better scores as husbands? I guess the expectations are just that much lower. *g*

[bruinsfan.livejournal.com]

Wow, I applied the 1930s husband quiz with my last steady boyfriend in mind, and got:


Apparently, that one sissy question didn't penalize me too badly. Or at least my sullen bookwormishness compensated.

Not so rosy a picture if I'm the bottomwife, however...

[icarusancalion.livejournal.com]

WG turned out to be a reasonably good wifey. Though not as good as I expected.

[harveywallbang.livejournal.com]

i notice a trend.
wife: -12 (which i thought was impressive too, til i saw the -51.)
husband: 74.

[icarusancalion.livejournal.com]

Hi Harvey. You notice that everyone's husband scores are higher?

Telling isn't it.

[harveywallbang.livejournal.com]

'zactly.
