Take the test: http://www.transtopia.org/quiz.html
My score:
"MEMETIC SHOCK LEVEL 03 (0-4): borderline Enlightened. Purgatory; the countercultural realm. The more interesting Atheists, Libertarians, Transhumanists, and Modern Satanists dwell here, together with other freethinking and politically incorrect types. Congratulations, you're just a couple candles short of Enlightenment! Keep honing those clearly present rational, taboo-smashing instincts, and one day you too might become an Enlightened Transtopian Master."

Wow. I was bored.
MEMETIC SHOCK LEVEL 02 (0-4): above-average. A mixed bag of genuine wisdom and deeply ingrained taboos & irrational hangups. The domain of either conservative or politically correct (armchair) philosophers and people who can't make up their frickin' minds (oh, and let's not forget the puerile LAMERS who hit 'score it' without changing/reading anything; you know who you are...). Limbo.

Yes, the test has moderate "g" loadings: it's not for everyone.

I started it but then I saw that there were 35 questions and..... I'm not that bored.

That was a really horrible test. Some of the questions were overly harsh and extreme, and others encompassed far too much, so I agreed with some aspects of a question but not all aspects. For example:
XXII. Love really is (just) a (highly addictive) drug, sex a rather cumbersome way of getting off, and marriage an archaic pseudo-religious bonding ritual. They tend to cause (a lot) more trouble than they're worth, which is why smart people will generally (try to) avoid them. Better use your imagination and lend yourself a hand.
I agree in part with the part about love, I totally disagree with the part about sex, and agree with the part about marriage. So what am I supposed to answer for that? It's a three-part question that needs to be segmented and they just assumed a person would agree with all three or none at all.
It's basially feeding you answers, as well, because it explains the reasoning for one specific answer within the question. So, it's not so much a test as just a measure of how much they can convince you to be transhumanists.

I think sex is kind of a cumbersome procedure with so much problems. Now, what if we can have virtual sex, you know, kind of like those hologram decks on the Star Trek Next Generation series where it's just like the real thing. Any fantacy you have will be do-able. It's like Heaven on earth!

MEMETIC SHOCK LEVEL 03 (0-4): borderline Enlightened. Purgatory; the countercultural realm. The more interesting Atheists, Libertarians, Transhumanists, and Modern Satanists dwell here, together with other freethinking and politically incorrect types. Congratulations, you're just a couple candles short of Enlightenment! Keep honing those clearly present rational, taboo-smashing instincts, and one day you too might become an Enlightened Transtopian Master.
Oh, Pah. I think the reasoning here was you're either with us or against us.
Although I did pretty much agree with everything. Wow. I'm a bitch.

Haha ive done this test before and I believe that I got quite a low score. Its quite amusing to read their maneifesto, a weak poorly woven mixture of modern satanism, arrogance from ignorance, and cod-philosophy. Essentially some geeks who think that because they understand C++ programming and have never got laid that they are some kind of 'pure' uber-intelligentsia. And by the way, before you start flaming me with awful arguments about their pure logical thought and such, I am a second year philosophy student, I'm not just some layman, espousing bollocks like these guys. Try reading the work of a true genius, David Hume, Albert Camus, Ludwig Wittgenstein. These will truly help you towards discovering what you are, not some sexually fustrated science-fiction fans.

MEMETIC SHOCK LEVEL 04 (0-4): the pinnacle. Transtopian, or pretty close to it. Progressive and hardcore with very few taboos. Looks like we have a WINNER here (either that or a major CHEAT)!

Yeah, that was a horrible test. Basically, you either have to agree with the person who created it, or you're an idiot.
