Are You A Rabid Iolausian?

(Or, do you know someone who is?)

Try this fun quiz to find out, and discover your IRI (Iolausian Rabidity Index). If you're absolutely certain that you aren't an Iolausian, but you think you know someone who is - why not answer these questions on your friend's behalf? You'll soon discover the truth!

How the quiz works

Below, I pose a number of questions. These, together with a set of multiple choice answers, have been designed with the utmost care and attention to sound psychological principles (or, alternatively, scribbled down on the back of an envelope) to reveal the true extent of the subject's devotion to a certain person from a time long ago.

To find your Iolausian Rabidity Index, work your way through the following questions, selecting the answer that best applies to you. Use a pen or pencil and a piece of paper to record the your answer to each question. When you have answered all the questions, click one of the "Find Out" links to see an analysis of your answers together with your IRI.
