Please note: This post is a send-up of pagan stereotypes, not an accurate test of anyone's anything.

If you don't "test" out where you would have expected, don't take it to heart.

Educators have been saying for years that tests don't measure real ability, or knowledge, anyway.

Poet, scholar and storyteller Steven Posch was raised in the hardwood forests of western Pennsylvania by white-tailed deer. (That's the story, anyway.) He emigrated to Paganistan in 1979 and by sheer dint of personality has become one of Lake Country's foremost men-in-black. He is current keeper of the Minnesota Ooser.
