NEW JavaScript Test

Take the above JavaScript test if you don't have alot of time to waste and are afraid this test won't work for you. Although, I personally have had a hard time making it crash, other people seem to have some trouble with it. So the above link will take you to test to see if it is worth your time to take this test. On the JavaScript Test all you have to do is fill in your personal info, then click on the Submit button, and you'll know whether or not you can take the EPA and successfully get your results.

If you use AOL, you should take the above JavaScript test, since many AOL users have difficulty getting the test to work for them. AOL's browser apparently doesn't support JavaScript.

This test requires a Java Script enabled browser. On some configurations you may get an email information warning, please accept (Ok) the warning message, the only information sent is your answers, birthdate, and numbers for you name.

This is version 1.0, of the Elemenal Personality Assessment. The results are fairly meaningless, since they are based on a very small sample of less than 100 participants. Therefore, it is recommended that the results be viewed as such (relatively meaningless). If you are concerned about what results you might get, please DO NOT TAKE THIS TEST. Furthermore, if you have already taken the test, and have questions, comments, or concerns, you can email at AbCwE@excite.com or reach me via ICQ at ICQ# 123570.

The purpose for placing this test on the internet is to draw more participants to validate the original results. Your participation is greatly appreciated. And, as such, honesty is important. Also, please do not take this test multiple times under different psuedonyms, please.

If you do complete this test, note that by clicking (pressing / selecting / etc.) the submit button at the bottom of the page, you are affirming your willful consent to the terms listed at the bottom of the page.

Instructions: The assessment consists of several parts. Most are multiple choice questions with no "right" or "wrong" answer. A few questions are fill in the blank.

The first part of the form is the personal information section. You must enter your name (NOTE: Your name is not saved or sent, it is used to calculate several numbers to identify you). Please enter you full given name. That is the name on your birth certificate, or if different, the legal name you have used the majority of you life.

For exmaple, my given name is Bryan Chesley Weber. So I would enter, Weber for the Last Name, Bryan for the First Name, and Chesley for the Other Names. If my name were Bryan David Michael Smith, I would enter Smith for the Last Name, Bryan for the First Name, and David Michael for the Other Names.

If I completed this form, the only information about my name that would be sent is 8-16_17-15_10-16. And the only information stored on the computer I used to fill out this form, would be 19661227BWeber, which is my birthdate, my first initial, and my last name.

If you have already completed this form before, you can click here to view the results again. If you want detailed explanation of your results back, please enter your email address in the address section.

In Part III of the assessment, you have 10 points to distribute among the four answers for each question. For example, one person may answer the following question with 1, 0, 6, and 3 for A, B, C, and D, respectively. This response would mean that the person likes pie twice as much as fruit, and does not like cake at all.
