THE ANSWER KEY
Mostly's. We admire your
ethics and morals. We'll to invite you to our homes. We'll trust you with
our car, our luggage, and even with our money to buy popcorn at the movies,
knowing you'll bring back the correct change. But you're way to ethical
and well-mannered to be a successful reporter! Come on!
Mostly's. You could be
an adequate features reporter at a small newspaper. You'll do well asking
enough questions to get the facts right, and you'll be good at writing
the types of stories that fill papers (and are not usually read except
by friends, family, and other features reporters). But you lack the audacity
to gain and keep a high-profile reporter position.
Mostly's. You're lewd,
crude, rude, and I'll bet for the right price, even nude. You're insensitive
and nosy. You're completely immune to anything resembling a conscience.
You have no discernable manners. You'll be a rich and famous reporter,
probably for the tabloids.
Mostly's. You're too paranoid
to be a high-profile reporter. (In fact, if you scored all 's,
then you're a little but scary.) But you'll make a good investigative reporter.
Mostly's. You're too stupid
to be a reporter. In fact, you're too stupid to be reading this page. You
may be below the minimum IQ to be considered living. If you scored a lot
of 's, you're putting
us on!
