<< Plus, Scientologists used to be all over Cambridge, Massachsetts and Boston's Back Bay offering "free personality tests." >> Haha!! Yes, I was "hubbarded" once! I was wandering around Geneva with not a lot to do and a lot of spare time on my hands. A woman with a clipboard (dread implement) asked if I'd be willing to answer a few questions for a survey, or some such story. What's to lose, I thought. When she led me round the corner into this large, sparsely furnished office-type building furnished with the complete works of L Ron Hubbard, I realised who they were. Anyway, they gave me an English version of the personality test, which had hundreds of questions, then "analysed" the results. Their schtick is that they give you your results in the form of a graph, with a horizontal line indicating "ok" - if your line dips below this "axis of ok", boy are you in need of saving! Anyway, I was pretty green, but not that green, so I had a nice little argument with the woman and left with my wallet unopened. Why superstars flock to worship at El Ron's altar god only knows. The words "sense", "more" and "money" spring to mind. Azeem in London NP: still Eleni Mandell - wonderful stuff PS I've just noticed that there are two "NJC"s in the headline - does this mean they will cancel each other out and this post will land with a thud in Joni-onlies' inboxes?
