Having browsed /lit/ for a significant period of time, I've gained enough insight into the themes and trends of the board to construct a profile for the "ideal browser of /lit/" - that individual that best expresses the talents, abilities and personality of the perfect /lit/ browser. From there, I simply compare this Platonic form with each and every one of you and draw conclusions.

If you're interested in your particular case, and why you've scored as low (or as high) as you did, please ask.

The actual portrait is quite complex and would take far too long to go into now. What matters is that from my research, I've been able to determine interests or traits that a browser can have that will receive the least criticism on /lit/, even if they aren't one's personal preference. If you like X, very few people are going to be critical of your tastes. If you are X, the same applies. If I post the profile here, people are going to begin copying it and posing as this ideal browser.
