I took it I got a 70. Most of my score came from things that happened when I was younger.

Well guys, my score was a whopping 110!!!!! But it's no surprise to me (or those who grew up with me). You can surely believe that I'm "brought from the hood" and that I "had a hard knock life". But thank GOD that I WANTED more and that I was EXPOSED to something much deeper.

[Nappy_in_NJ]

I got a 46.

[ladygreek]

Scored a 74 and 20 of that was for still having the used bacon grease container.

Me too

Dang, let's chalk this score of 43 up to my child hood. I am black...really I am!

[Lizanabavi]

I got an 84.

The bulk of my points came from questions 2-4. Why do I still eat Now and Laters to this day? Oh! And question 25. Why do I have no qualms taking me a plate home from a BBQ to have for my lunch the next day? NO SHAME AT ALL.

Oftentimes, my students laugh at me when I can identify with a lot of the things they do. This is a really good thread; it made me laugh!

[NOWorNEVER]

I got an 88, and I just posted a comment on another thread in this forum about #33...my g-grandma who we used to call "Ma'Dear." I love bein' black y'all!

[lilsisofZPhiB]

I scored a big 112!! Its not my fault, its my parents fault. I guess when you grow up in Louisiana in the ghetto most of those things become a normal part of life. And I'm only 16, gosh I live a full life.

[sunny312]

I got a 92 straight from the hood, but the funny thing is I was brought up in the suburbs. I guess you can take a person out of the hood but you can't take the hood out of a person.

[pinkey08]

I got a 79. It should have been higher because all my friends say I am to ghetto.

I scored a 21.......hmmmmm

[zetafg]

My score is 86.

Why do I still call my cousins Dee-Dee and Kay-Kay. Not only are they older than I am one of them is a grandma!

Nighladers are the joint!

But the bulk of my points came from childhood experiences, especially since I left my albums at my Mom's house when I moved out 4 years ago.
