    Meaninglessness = 8
    Cultural Estrangement = 20
    Powerlessness = 5
    Normlessness = 17
    Estrangement from Work = 5
    Social Isolation = 13

    I guess I am a pretty happy camper overall.

    Normlessness = 7
    Estrangement from Work = 5
    Social Isolation = 7

    Scores should range between 5 and 25.
    Scores from 5 to 11 could be considered "low,"
    from 12 to 18 "moderate,"
    and from 19 to 25 "high."

    That was a strange survey. Everything was worded like "nowadays", and not anymore, as if it is measuring someone's changing state. For someone that has always been alienated and is fine like that, this survey is confusing. I'm alone but not lonely, and definitely not hopeless. I don't go out with friends, but that's always been the case. I take pride in my work and am rewarded generously for quality. I don't care about society's values, people who talk like that seem to seek conformity. I realize that some people are always going to have honor and values and some are not.

    I actually feel more alone around other people.
    Plus when they get behind me...it bugs me.

    I don't have a problem with my culture. It is what it is.

    I actually enjoy solitude quite a bit, though I have a bunch of friends - both RW and Cyber. I love my work and enjoy my mundane daily chores. I cherish my family and greatly value the time I spend with them.

    I do not enjoy going out on the town or similar, would rather hike through the forest. I will be doing that with my Labrador in a few minutes as I do every morning for a couple of hours.

    I also don't give a rats posterior what other folks think of me.

    There is a lot of stress in our environment now. It shows up in the awesome cost of taking care of our health problems, in the fem-fear and man-anger caused by the terrorist threat and the growing natural catastrophies. It also shows up because we became so ideologically divided, even in the political sphere over religion and economics. More people are moved to take addictive drugs, to cheat, to even become bizerke and kill others. Young men feel it as an absense of status and hence any stake in our society. We mouth our old secular ideals but lose faith in them. People drift from the old religions into a multitude of pagan-worship, flying saucer cult, vegetarian, mystical theisms, and bland deisms.

    There is a reason for all this. There is a cause and effect process that when understood, explains things, even society.

    I don't really think it was well thought-out, though. Too much iffy wording, you're right.

    I wonder if there is any accurate way to interpret the results.
