    SCORES
    I've assigned numerical values to the various responses but I have no idea how to make them add up using HTML

    YOUR CONSPIRACY THEORY RECEPTIVITY RATING:

    -0 - 35 LOW
    35 - 70 MIDDLING
    Over 70 HIGH

    HOW YOU RATE:

    LOW - A bit complacent, aren't you? All is for the best in the best of all possible worlds, hmm? What you don't know can't hurt you. Ignorance is bliss. It won't save you. People like you will be the first against the wall when it all goes down.

    MIDDLING - More savvy. Your eyes are open to the nature of the beast,
    but you like to weigh up all the evidence rather than making rash uninformed pronouncements.
    It still won't save you.

    HIGH - You are a lunatic. Unfortunately, you are right. Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they're not after you. Speaking of which, our government controllers tracked your terminal some time ago. Expect a call from men in black.
