Humanity Test

This is a Humanity test. It is similar to the ever-popular Purity test, except it is meant for Cyberpunk or Shadowrun characters. If you take this for yourself, don't blame me.
For questions marked with an 'A', score one point for a positive answer. For 'B', score one for a negative. For 'C', SUBTRACT one for a positive.

There are 400 questions. The higher your score, the closer you are to the Edge.

As far as what your score means, try this: Take your score and divide it by the number of questions. Ie, the percentage of possible points you got. Then multiply this by your character's STARTING empathy. This will give you your APPARENT empathy. This would indicate how you "come across" to people who have just met you, or don't know you well. This is more of a role-playing thing than anything else. Enjoy.
