My marital SAT score

38 As a 1930s wife, I am Poor Take the test!

I suppose that's no surprise to anyone. Courtesy of every blog everywhere. I got merit points for being well-groomed, fun to be around, a good cook, religious, and permissive about my husband's leisure activities; demerits for drinking, swearing, gossiping, flirting (all part of that "fun to be around" business, really), and not wanting children.

I liked this item:

Often comments on husband's strength and masculinity.

They don't specify the nature of the comments ...

I took the test for/as Mr. Improbable, and here is HIS score:

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

How about that! I was thinking he wouldn't do very well because I checked a lot of demerit points for him on neatness of dress and tidiness around the house. But I suppose his even temper and affectionate and hardworking nature carried the day.

Here are two he missed points on:

Kisses wife just after her make-up has been applied.

Calls "Where is..?" without first hunting the object. (Some things between the sexes never change, apparently. My usual response to this is a major contributor to the swearing mentioned above.)

He also missed points on this one:

Hangs ties or clothes on doorknobs.

... despite its being, in my eyes, a distinct improvement on throwing them on the floor, which is what he used to do.
