YOUR RESULTS

Less than zero: Though buying a snowskate might help turn your life in a different direction, you are too bitter, fearful and angry to even try snowskating. Recommendation: Don't buy a snowskate!

0-3: By learning how to snowskate, you will be brought out of the shell that you've been developing since you peed your pants in grade 1. It might be challenging to learn snowskating, because of your distrust of things that are fun, or out of fear of embarrassment. But, the good news is that after you learn, you will become a huge born-again Snowskater, and may even start your own cult or life-coaching company. Recommendation: Buy a snowskate.

3-6: Maybe you're still scarred from falling off the monkey bars in grade school. Or maybe you've become obsessed with your smile lines, cellulite or hair-loss since that woman at the conference in the elevator referred to you as Todd from accounting's "grandparent". Whatever the reason, you are unsure whether or not this world is still for "people like you". Recommendation: You need a snowskate. Order one online right away. Bring it to bed with you. Say "I got this" before bed every night.

6+: You pretty much already are a snowskater, if not in corporeal form, at least in spirit. The neurons inside your cerebellum glide around the hills and valleys of your synapses with happiness and joy. You probably hum Bob Marley tunes in your sleep. Recommendation: Move to Canada or Sweden. Buy a snowskate.
