The Deb Wuertley, Overtly Quiz
When I was in high school, I loved to get teen type magazines like Seventeen or YM and take the quizzes that were inside. I was able to discern things about myself like "Am I a loyal friend?" "Does my boyfriend really love me?" "Am I an extrovert or introvert at a party?" "What would my perfect birthday celebration be?" and so on. I'll have to admit, I still love taking the quizzes in the grown-up magazines, too, it's just that the quiz titles have become a little more "mature." "Do you have good communication in your marriage?" "Are you at an increased risk for breast cancer?" "Are you in good enough shape for your age?" In honor of these types of quizes, and since school really begins tomorrow for a lot of us and to get us back in the school mindset, I have compiled the Deb Wuertley, Overtly Quiz. The quiz is 38 questions long with one question from each of my posts. At the end will be the complimentary "grading scale" so you can see where you fall. (I've taken the quiz, and not to brag, but I scored 100%. ) This post has potential to be quite lengthy, and since I am not sure when I will be posting again due to work starting, (I'm not signing off for good, I just know I am not going to be able to keep up the posting each night pace) you could even spread the quiz over the next several days. Oh, and one important rule...no peeking back at past posts! The purpose of the quiz is to see how well you know "Deb Wuertley" after visiting the site over the last several days (peeking would be comparable to Elizabeth looking at the answer key in word searches - I would think it would defeat the purpose of the entertainment.)

I got 34.
Jason
I got 36...wait a minute, I think that means I am addicted to blogging and, more specifically, to "Deb Wuertley, Overtly." I need a support group.
Interestingly enough, I was surprised at the two I missed: #9 (I forgot your mom was scared of the dark) and #23 (I thought you only had 32 comments.)
Great quiz, Deb. We (I) will miss your daily posts. I guess that will make it that much more special when you do post.
PS: Maybe you could put a space or two in between each number in the answer key. That made me dizzy and gave me a headache. :)
I got 32 but I still fit into category #1. It's just that I've always struggled with test anxiety and sometimes miss ones that I really know. I too will be sad that there won't be a daily post, but it will make them more sweet I suppose. Cute Idea! I enjoyed it!
Jaena, I'm trying my best to put spaces in, but for some reason it won't save my changes. At one point it took this post off completely (I almost freaked out, because there was no way I was retyping all that again.) Still working on it.
That's okay, Kelley. Jason only got 34, and he lives with me!!!
grrrhhhh. just a 30. not bad for reading blogs for only a week and the only past one i read deliberately was the one about your brother, i may have bumped into one or two around that post......so not too shabby.......but considering i only got a B+ in english comp and i couldn't pass the math competency test without being tutored by my husband, it could've been a lot worse.....it's been nice conversing with you all.....the depression of feeling left out was causing me to inhale bags of chips uncontrollably and drinking beer :)......thanks for letting me barge in for just a bit..... real life begins in about 6 hours....my dream: to be able to post an anonymous comment someday on jaena's (miss i only missed 2) blog......gotta hate the alarm in the morning. c ya :)
Hmm. I got a 34, so I tied with Jason. But being the Lisa-Simpson-type overachiever that I am, I'm bummed that I missed the top tier. Dang! Are you sure there isn't any extra credit?!?
Joel, just for you, an extra credit question worth...1 point.
In the picture with Doug and the 2 mystery people (hope you got that question right) what game was Doug holding?
a. aggravation
b. the price is right
c. hungry hungry hippos
d. Scene It - Friends Edition
YES! I know this one!! Though I don't actually ever remember *playing* Aggravation with you guys. Hungry Hungry Hippos? Yes. All the time. And Kerplunk. And Mousetrap. Even that crazy Clue VCR game that involved way too much fast-forwarding and rewinding. We played that only once, I think. But never Aggravation.
