Took the test. I am apparently completely unsuitable to join a startup civilization.

Well, you're distressingly normal and could conceivably adjust to life as a deep space pioneer, though we recommend instead that you leave the Mars missions to the serious whack jobs who scored over 130 and instead finish year 3 of law school, tuck your toddler into bed, design Web 2.0 applications, run for Congress or do whatever other normal, healthy, middle-of-the-road thing you're currently doing with your normal, healthy, middle-of-the-road life. If you're determined to give Virgle a try, though, you can submit your video here.

I got the same damned answer. I suggest we form our OWN colony for normal, well-adjusted people. That way, we'll be perfectly situated to pick up the pieces and take over once the Virgle whackjobs have finished cannibalizing each other. ;)

I couldn't figure out what they were looking for. I went back and changed some answers to ones that were more whacked, and still was graded as depressingly normal. Seriously, the people they're looking for wouldn't last five minutes...but would probably make great SURVIVOR stars.

I got the same answer as well.

My wife is claustrophobic and insists that I terraform any planet we colonize first, or build a large and roomy space habitat— she would find one of Karl Schroeder’s coronals acceptable.

I went back and redid all my answers, and still. Normal.

Someone on another list said that the questionnaire is an April Fool remnant.

Wah! I'm disappointed that it's a joke because I think (while this wouldn't be the way to select actual pioneers), an open source discussion of how to do this would be quite fruitful.
