The Lazarus Long Test

1. Lazarus Long was the oldest man in the galaxy. Over the millennia he'd lived he set some standards for what people should be able to do. How do you stack up?

   A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects.

   Take the quiz and see. (Lazarus and quote are from Time Enough for Love by Robert A. Heinlein. Read it.)
