Noxford University Survey: Pteris or Sparrows?

by rhoc

Well, if you are reading this its obvious you are someone who plays on Neopets, but just how much of a Neopian are you? Do you speak in cats, dogs and sparrows or Aishas, Gelerts, and Pteris? Do you speak both? Or are you simply just a maniac who wants to take over the world? For each of these questions just pick the answer that most applies to you, and find out just how Neo-Crazy you are.

Created by professors Star_1020280, Speedy_225, Opaleye_rho, and Opaleye_beau of Noxford University.

1 - When you need to go somewhere on Neopets you usually:
a) Type the address directly into the search bar (you know them off by heart)
b) Unless you go there often (for which you know the address or have a link ready in your "favorites") you go round the normal way.
c) You go round the normal way (getting lost every now and then and asking people for help)
d) Nothing! I get all the mindless, puny little Neopians out there to do it for me! MUHAHAHAHAHAHAHA...
e) What are Neopets?

2 - Most of your pets are
a) High statistics (like, level 50 and statistics about 100), painted with very expensive colours, good (long success list) job record, good (and looooooooong) Battledome record, nice painted petpet.

So, how did you score? What? Oh, yeah I haven't told you yet have I? Add up whether you mostly scored a)'s, b)'s or c)'s.

If you mostly scored a) then you know a lot about Neopia. Neopets is the one-and-only in your life, by now you probably have forgotten what a dog is. Suggested action: Ahhhh... this is so difficult... Dare I even say it... You may need to cut down on the Neopets a bit... ack! that was horrible to write... (where is my soap... no I'll need disinfectant for something as bad as this...)

If you scored mostly b) then Neopets takes a healthy number one priority in your life. You know quite a bit about Neopets, and will enjoy knowing that you are just perfect on the scale :) Suggested action: Just keep on going the way you are, you may get quite an impressive user lookup...

If you scored mostly c) well, you're a bit of a newbie. You really need to play Neopets a bit more, too increase your knowledge of the thing worth knowing. Suggested action: Play Neopets more, and go to Neopets help sites such as Pink Poogle Toy, Nothing But Neopets, Gemele.com, Derkomai.com, but always remember to double-check that your info is not out of date. Always check your items price on the shop wizard, go get all the freebies you can (Tombola, shrine etc.), use your common sense and don't get scammed. Wishing you luck!

If you scored mostly d)... Are you sure you aren't DR. Sloths twin? Anyway, you seem to be obsessed with taking over both worlds, the real world, and "Earth" (Wait a minute...!) and you say MUHAHAHAHAHAHA... much more than is good for yourself. Suggested action: Maybe you should see a psychiatrist... Or a psy-chia-trist...

If you scored mostly e), what are you doing reading The Neopian Times? If you really want to find out what Neopets is about you should play it for a while, its pretty cool. Suggested action: PLAY NEOPETS!!!!!!!... And if you do, then take the advice for the people who mostly got c). When you sign up for Neopets, why not sign up using our owners referral link?

We hope you find this useful, we had fun making this anyhow! Thank you very much,
From Speedy_225, Star_1020280, Opaleye_beau, and Opaleye_rho.

P.S. Not to be biased... but we think if you get a Neopet you should get a Gelert
Speedy_225: And paint it faerie... like me!
Opaleye_rho: Well I think rainbow's better, even if I am gold...
Star_1020280: Checkered is so waaaaaaaay better!
Opaleye_beau: I don't know what you guys are arguing about... none of those colours hold a candle to cloud!
Star_1020280: Oh yeah?
Opaleye_beau: You're just jealous!

rhoc: Guys, do you realise that this tape recorder is recording every word you say and that this is being sent to The Neopian Times, and if it gets in then all those people will be hearing you?

Opaleye_rho: Oops...

rhoc: Man, you guys have such cheesy, fake, grins!!!
