So, I took one of these online quizzes @ OKCupid entitled "How emotionally detached are you?". I know it is just a silly quiz, & thought it was funny when I got the result Dangerously Unstable. That is until I got to the last line in the description: "You just wish things would magically change for the better...They probably won't though so you should get on with 'removing' yourself from the world." (emphasis mine)

WTF? I was talking to a friend & had linked her the results before reading them all the way through, then came back with "I think this quiz just told me to kill myself." When she finished reading her response was, "It totally did."

I was/am very angry. I reported the quiz, but that only seems to go into a queue for peer review, so I also sent a complaint via the contact submission form to OKCupid telling them all this & giving them the links, & how in my opinion as a former Social Worker the quiz results were "appalling & irresponsible". The quiz probably attracts a lot of people at emotionally vulnerable times & that poor choice of words, or ****** attempt at humor, could be just the nudge someone needs to do the deed.

That was just a couple of hours ago, so I haven't heard anything back yet, but I did tell them I would be keeping an eye on the situation & alerting MH/MI groups if it wasn't changed.

Okay, just needed to vent. I was just floored at the callousness of that result.
