"The MySpace test."

<p>OP WARNING: This is remarkably stupid. Please do not use it in situations that do not involve silliness and/or inebriation.</p>

<p>I've ran this test several times and it has been, as far as I'm concerned, successful.</p>

<p>Essentially, this test will tell you how likely it is that you will encounter someone that acts like an idiot at a given university. The reason I use MySpace and not Facebook is because a student's Facebook is more likely to be groomed to appear professional, and, because the pressure to have a Facebook increases extensively upon entering college, most college MySpace users will represent a more telling part of that university's student body. </p>

<p>1) Add a university to your MySpace.</p>

<p>2) Browse through the students--preferably female--that are in your age group and currently attending.</p>

<p>3) Count the average ratio of students per page with x~<em>MySpAcEy NaMeS</em>~x (alternating caps, excessive unnecessary symbols, needless punctuation, etc.) and compare that to another university.</p>

<p>4) The university with less x~<em>MySpAcEy NaMeS</em>~x names wins.</p>

<p>I found very few of these at Harvard, and even fewer at Caltech. In contrast, low-ranked universities were swarmed with them. Try it yourself!</p>

<p>hahahaha</p>

<p>I may have to create a myspace account for the sole purpose of doing this and find out how my school compares.</p>

<p>At least we have an insane amount of good looking women ;)</p>

<p>EDIT: I should probably add that I'm at University of Arizona.</p>

<p>I think by limiting the sample pool to Myspace users you're selecting against non-idiots.</p>
