25.2%. I guess I can take this as either I'm not Civfanatic enough, or I'm actually quite normal.

11.1%

I would have thought I would score higher than that on a civfanatics test. Maybe I just like the game, but not fanatically.

shadowdale · Aug 21, 2001

57,14%

Damn that's high - but I'm not sure that you can get 100% in this test - not at the moment that is......

And there are questions that I'm not sure if I should count in - if you know say 25 Civfanatics, do you only take the 20+ or the 10+ and the 20+ ???

#Message for Shadowdale:
if you know 25 Civfanatics, you should answer YES to both 10+ and 20+ questions, thus you get 2 YES answers.
#End of message

Well, it was me who made up the test, but I haven't taken it yet..<IMG SRC="http://forums.civfanatics.com/ubb/cyclops.gif" border=0>.. Just a second....
My score is: 26.98%
Still some room for improvement. <IMG SRC="http://forums.civfanatics.com/ubb/clown.gif" border=0>

Also 26.98 with 17 yes.

moksliukas,

you said "My score is: 26.98%
Still some room for improvement."

Now is improvement more yes's or less yes's ?

We hope this question does not take away points.

Well, as there are people who get the result somewhere in the vicinity of 50%, I think I should improve, but, on the other hand, a normal person who should spend most of his time studying, I really should have less YESes.

woke25 · Aug 21, 2001

33,33% with 21 times yes.

21) Do you have the screenshot of your recent Civilization game as your wallpaper?

i used to do that, but not anymore. so answer is no.

29) Have you ever tried to improve the score on Civfanatics test?

i like this question most. i'm glad i am not that pathetic yet

38) Can you tell what is the attack/defense/move rate of a caravel in CivilizationII without looking up?

i consider everyone who answers "no" a complete newbie.
