    These "scores" just confirm how silly these tests are not to mention the absolute temerity of those who disclose them. I'm glad I don't have to drink with you jokers.

    Drinking with such a master of the obvious probably would not be fun anyway :)

        Do you know why there are so many Australians in London? The criminal always returns to the scene of the crime.

          I need a pen and paper to do this. Will report back in half an hour when I've found some.

            How do you rate in integrity compared with Britons in general? Take the Integrity Test from the Essex Centre for the Study of Integrity - ECSI.

            Add up your answers 1-4 and see how honest you are. Scores range from 10 [very honest] to 40 [politician]. I scored 18, how good, or bad, are you?

            23. That is not a test of integrity, it is a test of financial viability and desperation. On the first question I have taken a train from work to part way home half a dozen times in the last couple of years. I have paid once. The other times there is no way to pay on the stations and no guard on the train who comes and takes money. Is that avoiding paying? On another train journey I had a standard class ticket and went and sat in first class for a while because there was no space in the standard class bit and loads in first class. Is that avoiding paying?

                So what? You have kept a low profile and by now a lot of grass has grown over it. Would it not be the right time to come back?

                          Darn. I would have loved to come to England and pay the new Prime Minister a visit. We could have made a big fuss about it and let the rest of the world guess what terribly important matters we might have discussed :)

                              24. Stupid test. Trying to pay less tax isn't a matter of integrity, it's a matter of fighting back against injustice. [EDIT] Anyone whose life is degraded daily by South Eastern trains shouldn't worry about the odd missed fair. I pay them a damn fortune and they won't even give me a seat or get me home on time. I don't give a stuff about the shareholders. Bah.

                                    18. The questions are flawed I think. Many have unusual, but realistic situations where a the consequences of sticking to "never justified" rule would be worse than not doing. For example a friend of mine both speeded and was over the alcohol limit rushing someone she was at a party with to hospital. The person she was rushing had accidentally eaten a peanut (she had an allergy) and by the time the ambulance would have arrived there was a good chance the girl would have been dead. The police caught her and when the situation was explained they escorted them to the hospital without charge. So questions c & h were both a 2, but not due to lower integrity than someone voting 1.

                                      Darn. I would have loved to come to England and pay the new Prime Minister a visit. We could have made a big fuss about it and let the rest of the world guess what terribly important matters we might have discussed :)

                                      I've always seen myself as more "Life President" than "Prime Minister". That may be part of the problem.

                                          Then I fear we are destined to come into contention, and that violent dissent may be unavoidable, alas. You do realise that the Emperor is normally the baddie, and thus doomed? There have been many, many documentaries about this very subject: Star Wars and Flash Gordon for example.
