A Question About an OC

I've run my characters through them and some come out fine, but others get high scores. However I haven't had any complaints about those characters yet (and that's saying something 'cuz I've been using some of them for around 7 years now), so don't be too discouraged if your character ends up with a high score.

Thanks for the link, BabyCharmander. I appreciate it.

I ran Jasmine through the test and it came out rather high (ahem, 49), but based on the response here, I think that I may not have to overhaul her character quite as much as I'd feared. (I realized this morning that I may need to rethink one of the major aspects of the plot line, but I think I can do it. I managed to enlist a friend with one story, so I may draw on her knowledge and ideas.)

Thanks again!
