Throughout our history, insecure people everywhere have struggled with certain eternal questions. Does God exist? Is there intelligent life on other planets? What is that smell coming from my fridge? While important, these questions pale in significance next to the eternal, burning question, "Am I normal?". The following quiz is designed to help you determine your NQ (Normality Quotient).

     The quiz is multiple choice. Just track your answers, then score yourself at the end (no fair peeking!). What could be simpler than that? Remember, there are no right or wrong answers. This test will only decide whether you are normal, or a pathetic, twisted individual who will never fit in anywhere, and most likely die alone. No pressure.
