Here is a break down of the answers to this little quiz, to give you an idea how to score it and how to structure any more questions you might want to make up to go with it:

If you answer mostly A's:

You are so totally one emo loving dude! Check you out wearing your bleeding heart on your poor tattered sleeve. Emo is a way of life for you, not just a fashion statement or a passing fancy, you my little emo friend are the real deal!

If you answer mostly B's:

You have many emo qualities, but still have one foot firmly in the 'normal' world. Your trousers are tight but not chafing, your thoughts sometimes sad but never riddled with angst. To be honest you have the best of both worlds!

If you answer mostly C's:

You know what emo is, but you are not really that interested in thinking too hard about problems, or worrying about things you cannot change. You probably find emo music a bit depressing, and tend to shy away from people who look sad and complicated.

If you answer mostly D's:

You are about as emo as bath full of soapy cheerleaders! The whole emo scene has completely passed you by, so no crying into your coco pops over a beautiful sunrise, or feeling the angst of the world bearing down on your shoulder for you. A quick jog in the fresh air is probably your cure for the blues, or a few pints down the boozer with your mates.
