21. Bonus Question: Do you like Bad Boys?
a. Yes
b. No

If you want to know just how good bad is to you, here's how to figure it out:

Below are the answers that would make you the ultimate lover of Bad Boys:

1a, 2a, 3d, 4b, 5a, 6b, 7a, 8c, 9a, 10a, 11b, 12a, 13a, 14b, 15b, 16b, 17b, 18a, 19a, 20c, and 21a.

Start off with a hundred points. For each "less than Bad" answer, deduct five points. For example: If you chose five "un-Bad Boy" answers, that would mean you lean 75 percent toward Bad Boys. If you chose eleven to fifteen "un-Bad Boy" answers, then you lean more toward "nice guys." And if you chose zero Bad Boy answers, I would check your pulse immediately.
