Results:
15 and above ("Flying Colours"!): Dude, a bunch of resumés are on the way. We all want your job.
10-14: What are you doing here? Go watch today's movie or take a nap!
6-9: You could look around for other options; you really don't have to convince yourself that this is the best you can get.
0-5: Why are you wasting your life in this miserable job? Is there any reason why you're doing this? Take the plunge! ("CIDs, escape!")
Disclaimer: This survey is (as you have guessed) not based on any scientific research or study, but it is based on something more solid than research or studies - experience - and it is not intended to do more than to invoke a chuckle or a sigh or both.
