Remember kids, Scientology isn't a religion. As Wikipedia says:
...the governments of Germany and Belgium officially regard the Church of Scientology as a totalitarian cult; in France, a parliamentary report classified Scientology as a dangerous cult; in the United Kingdom and Canada the Church of Scientology is not regarded as meeting the legal standards for being considered a bona fide religion.L. Ron Hubbard would be proud...

"Offered as a public service," my shiny metal ass!
The whole point of this fruitless exercise, the "personality test," is to convince you that there are problems you have that Scientology can fix.
I've heard the same story from a couple of people who talked to me during a picket of the Scientology establishments in San Diego and Los Angeles.
Person #1 was a Scientologist in San Diego.
Her: "Scientology saved my life!"
Me: "I hear that a lot. Care to elaborate?"
Her: "I took the personality test and they told me if I didn't start taking courses, I'd commit suicide in three years. That was four years ago."
Can you spell 'sucker?'
The next time I heard this tactic, I was in LA. Punk rocker came up and told me about her experience with the Free Personality Test.
Punk: "I took the personality test and they said I'd commit suicide in two years unless I started taking courses. I told them to fuck off, and left."
You decide the correct response! :)
