97% here. I'm a little disappointed...I figured that was an easy 100%! B)

Only 88% ! I'm surprised. I guess it's because i only had one pen close at hand. All the others were at home when i took the test!

79%, probably because I wouldn't try to persuade anyone.

I'm 97% apparently. (I'd encourage people to use an FP, but I'm not going to push it)

 

Also your FaceBook share button is broken:

Also for one of the questions about podcast, I would revise that to say podcast/youtube (not all of us "Listen" to reviewers etc or strictly podcasts).

 

The Google+ Share button is also broken

Bad Request Error 400

 

And the twitter share button just leads to a blank white page.

65%. Did I get a failing score? If so, does that mean I failed at being a fountain pen addict?

Franklin-Christoph, Italix, and Pilot pens are the best!
Iroshizuku, Diamine, and Waterman inks are my favorites!

Apica, Rhodia, and Clairefontaine make great paper!

97% - not really an addict am I? :yikes:

 

Please do not tell this score to my wife. :D

Kind regards,

74%. If I'd had a fountain pen on me (it's early, and I don't have a pajama-carry pen), if I'd ever tried to convert the masses, and if I'd rejected ballpoints, I think I might have aced it.

 

As it is, achieving that score suggests to me the test is busted.

I'm at 85%. If I had taken this quiz last year, I would probably have been a lot higher, because I bought a lot more pens compared to this year (I'm going to claim that question was worded badly, because there should have been an option for "it depends"). I've actually been good this year (so far) -- I've only bought about 5 or 6, plus was given one.

If you asked my husband, he would tell you that I would be closer to 100% (as a mathematician he gets very irritated with the phrase "110%"; but he might make an exception in my case... :blush:).

So, how many people answered the "BP" question as "refuse and use my own?" :lol: Because I do that ALL the time!

I don't see any reason to recognize the results of the quiz. I am not an addict. I can quit anytime, and I did, after 100 fountain pens.

79% after just over 1 year. I hate to see what the future holds (or perhaps I will love my addiction more).

94%, how disappointing. I have to stop being polite and accepting a ball point when filling in forms.

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
