Wow, I scored a 465!! Alas, though, I am already married so I guess that cancels out ALL of my points. Sigh. Actually, it may have been a 470, but I dont know how tall you are.

Ali - INTP said...

I scored 435 as well although I did go out on a limb and assume that you are taller than 5'3". :) I used a calculator to do it. Do I get extra points for that?
