4.3
I don't really see how that is a wisdom test, though...
It seems sort of a test for morals and empathetic skills.

Your score: 4.3
You have relatively high wisdom.

Though I fail to see how these questions relate to wisdom more than being able to empathise with other people and listen to them.

A different wisdom test from my psychology book:

A fifteen-year-old girl wants to get married. Is this a good idea and what kind of stuff might she consider?

How has that got anything to do with being wise? it's more to do with you being able to reason and understand why a 15 year old might want to get married, and using logical reasons to explain why it's not the best idea. It is largely dependant upon the specifics of the situation though.

Unanswerable. What are the conditions? Is she wealthy, poor, middle-class? Does she have a child [15 isn't too young for that these days, as we all know]? How old is the man? Why is she contemplating marriage?

These things all change the level of "acceptability" of this situation.

I got a 4.3.  I agree that I don't see the wisdom part of this test.

this is also a cultural issue that has absolutely nothing to do with wisdom.
