User:Littleghostboo/The Wikipediholic Test

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I have decided to keep the original version of the Wikipediholic Test because only TRUE Wikipediholics can finish taking the test. I believe it should be kept, so here it is. Sadly, it has to be done manually...

This page contains material which is kept because it is considered humorous.
It is not intended, nor should it be used, for any remotely serious purpose.

If you're not sure if you are a wikipediholic, you should take this test.

The point value of answering 'yes' to each question is listed in parentheses ( ) at the end of the question. The higher the result, the more likely it is that you are a Wikipediholic.

New questions and modifications are of course welcome—good questions are those that measure current addiction (e.g., "have you edited a page in the last week", not "have you ever edited a page"), on the hypothesis that Wikipediholicism can be cured, or at least controlled to some degree. Formats should be added as #ENTRY (point value[, additional notes]) in order to be compatible with the automated version.

Give yourself at least 2 hours and 45 minutes because there are more than 1,302 questions!

If you check off all the boxes, you will receive 6791.45214451919 at last count.
The highest score possible from checking boxes is 114356.161020580796 at last count, which scored by ST47 and his bot.
