Pop quiz

Imagine that your life is a test. Is it a multiple-choice test, or is it an essay test?

  1. I hope it's multiple choice. I hate essays.

  2. If it’s an essay test, I may have to have my Inner Narrator take it.

  3. This question reminds me of the physics conundrum: Is the universe fundamentally made up of waves or of particles? The answer seems to be "both/neither." There's something reassuring about particles and multiple-choice questions, because they are discrete and clearly defined. Essay questions are tougher, because you have to decide first what the question means and then how you're going to approach the answer. I'm going to say life is an essay test, but with a twist: you get to pick your own questions.

  4. Neither really; it's much more like a flowchart test: like one of those simulated test scenarios where the questions change according to the answers you gave to previous questions!
