You have probably taken two or three of these already, and been given two or three different answers.
That is not your fault, and it does not mean the question was silly.
My name is Ren Kagetsuki. The twelve questions above are the ones I ask before I take a case, and below I will show you exactly how they are weighted.
Not because the scoring is secret. Because knowing it is what lets you read your own answer.
What most of these were built for
Some of them are entertainment, and quite openly.
One of the largest quiz sites files its cursed quiz under satire and fun. Another asks which spirit from a manga series you are. A third offers to tell you whether you are cursed or merely stylish.
Those are not lying to anybody. They are jokes, and they are labelled as jokes.
The ones that give me pause are the serious-looking ones that hold your result behind an email address.
When the result costs you your address, the result was never the product.
The mistake even the serious ones make
They count.
Twelve questions, one point each, and the more boxes you tick the worse your result.
No practitioner works that way, because the signs are not worth the same.
Someone saying to your face that they will make sure you suffer is not equal to a broken glass. A run of trouble that lands only on the days that mattered is not equal to a bad night’s sleep.
Count everything equally, and a person with ten mild answers outscores a person with three that matter.
The second person is the one I would drop everything for.
How the twelve above are actually weighted
Forty points across twelve questions, and they are not divided evenly.
- Five points, one question. Whether anyone has told you to your face that they would curse you, or that you would never be happy again.
- Four points, two questions. Whether there is someone who resents you deeply. Whether the same misfortune repeats through your family.
- Three points, the other nine. The body, the sleep, the dread, the watching, money, accidents, relationships.
Nothing scores zero. Every one of the twelve is worth writing down.
But look at what carries the weight. The top three questions are the only ones about a person.
The other nine describe what is happening to you. Those tell me how deep it has got, and I need all of them.
They cannot tell me whether there is a hand at the other end, and a hand is the only thing I can remove.
Which is why two people can finish on the same percentage and get different answers from me: the six signs I weigh heaviest.
A man once came out at 30 per cent and I took the case that week. Nine of his points were the two questions about people, and nothing else was even close.
What no quiz can do
Ask you the second question.
You answer yes to whether anyone said anything to you. A quiz adds three points and moves on.
I would want to know who, and how long ago, and what had happened that week, and whether you have seen them since.
Those four answers change the case completely, and one of them decides whether clearing will hold or whether the line has to be sealed as well.
A form cannot follow you down that road. It has no idea what you just said.
Reading your own result
Take your percentage, then check it against one thing.
How many of the top three questions you answered yes to. The words said to you, the person who resents you, the family repeat.
None of the three. Whatever your total was, what you are carrying reads as weight rather than as something aimed. That is worth knowing, and it is not a dismissal.
One of the three. Worth a conversation, and worth it now rather than in six months. This kind grows while it is left, because the person sending it can see it working.
Two or three of them. That is the shape I recognise. I have never once seen those arrive together by accident.
The percentage sorts. The top three decide.
And if the family question was one of your yes answers, read it again before you go on. Work carried out on you alone does not hold a line.
If the quiz says you may be cursed
Send me your score and which of the three-point questions you answered yes to.
Add roughly when it started and what was happening in your life in the weeks before that.
That is enough for me to write you the same reading I would write for a paying client, and there is no charge for it. There is also the physical side, if you want to check the room you are sitting in: the three tests you can do tonight.
No quiz is going to settle this for you.
A person who has been on both sides of it can.
