The Leaves of Dianetics Personality Test

So, last Friday when I was chatting with friends on IRC, one silly thought led to another, which I just brought to an obvious (?) conclusion, The Leaves of Dianetics Personality Test, a mashup Markov Chain program featuring Walt and L. Ron, together (hopefully) for the first time.

Some sample output:

Do you consider that you read? When recounting some amusing incident can you easily pleased?

When met with direct opposition would you really take the trouble to see the soul? See, your own inferiority?

Do people enjoy being in your demands on your past illnesses or painful experiences? Do you consider the best points of most people and only rarely speak slightingly of them? Do you have little regret on past misfortunes and failures? Does the youth of today have more opportunity than that of a poem nor the least part of a greater religion, The following chants each for its kind I sing. My comrade! For you to 'own up and take the trouble to see your side, and thus agree with you? Do you openly and sincerely admire beauty in other people? Do you sometimes completely unable to enter the spirit of things? Do you consider the good old cause, the great masters, Now if eligible O that the speaker is referring entirely to you?

The code is a Markov chain program by Dave Smith.


Heh heh

That's one of the better uses I've seen that old script (which dates back to my first year with Perl) put to.
