Four easy steps to fame, fortune, and happiness:

If you’re going to send this out to your favorite mailing list, please send the URL for this page, not the test proper. This is where important news and information will be posted.

Do remember: it’s just a game. The results do not reflect a true psychological analysis. This is not a competition. Please, no wagering.

This is Bear Test II: Bear Harder. Features include:

• A better data smoother which gives less weight to unrecognized words. Too many unusual or misspelled words would overwhelm the analyzer.
• Better administration tools which will make reviewing results and tuning the analyzer much easier.
• A more compact database format which allows for faster execution and a larger vocabulary.
