THE OBSESSION QUIZ SCORING TABLE

YOUR
SCORE
IS

YOU ARE...

Explanation of Diagnosis

0%

Normal

You’re normal. You are not obsessed with Barbra Streisand and probably never will be. Please celebrate with a martini.

5% to 25%

Still Normal

No need to panic yet. Given the statistical margin for error, you may very well still be normal and not exhibiting symptoms of obsession. I guess there is still room for you to celebrate. Go get that martini!

30% to 50%

Borderline

Uh-oh. The signs are there. But let’s look on the bright side. You do have signs of obsession, but you still have enough objectivity to avoid doing anything stupid (like buying some of the artwork shown on The Barbra Art Page.) However, you do need to take a deep breath and repeat the following mantra: "Enough is Enough!"

55% to 75%

OBSESSED!

You’re scaring me, and I’m not easily scared (After all, I did watch Nuts from beginning to end). Go back and answer the questions again. If you fall in this range again, YOU ARE OFFICIALLY OBSESSED. You are at the point where your emotions cloud your ability to rationally deal with anything related to Ms. Streisand. You feel compelled to not only listen to her music or watch her movies, but to read anything about her. That would explain why you are visiting this website. (BTW, thank you for visiting.) Anyway, back to the matter on hand. You need to determine if your obsession with Barbra is affecting your life (i.e., do you spend too much money on her, do you argue with people about her, etc.) If yes, do the following (in order): (1) Get a Life and (2) once you do, answer the quiz again and hope for a lower score.

80% to 95%

FIXATED!

I am sorry to have to be the one to break the news to you (if your psychiatrist hasn’t already): YOU HAVE A FIXATION with Barbra Streisand. In other words, you are extremely obsessed. And you need help (i.e., professional help). In layman’s terms, you are a big, nasty mess. Please leave my website IMMEDIATELY. You are one of those that sends me nasty emails or leaves unpleasant messages in my Guestbook (or are about to.) Please bear in mind that I am not responsible for your fixation, so don’t take it out on me. Also, you really need to get moving to another website. By now you’re hands are probably shaking and you’re cursing. If you are still reading, STOP and click here. And if you can't break away from the IGBS, I suggest you click here for tales of the fixated.

100%

HOPELESS!

You are Barbra Streisand or you think you are. I’ll let Freud handle this one. After all, he did develop the concept of the super-ego. On the bright side, though, you did get a perfect score.
