I figure this belongs here.

From QI:

Coltan Scrivner's Morbid Curiosity Scale weighs how much you agree with such statements as 'I would be interested in attending or watching a video of an exorcism' or 'If a head transplant was possible, I would want to watch the procedure'. (The full list: https://bit.ly/3ENvnat)

"May I offer you a Peek Frean?" - Walter Bishop
"Thank you for appreciating my descent into deviant behavior, Mr. Reese." - Harold Finch

I think I am low, as I only said yes to six of the scenarios.
What does not kill me makes me stranger.

Which goes to show that test is obviously broken, since my mind is full of morbid thoughts. Why, right now, for example, I am wondering what it'd be like to have sex with an angel.

I feel I've always needed a head transplant 😳😳😉

If I'm doing the scoring right, I totaled 94 which averages out to 3.91, so I think I am almost somewhat agreeably morbidly curious.  That sounds like me.

I think some of the questions though could use some tweaking – is being curious about WHY a killers do what they do or the motive behind a murder as morbid as being curious about HOW?  Or does that cross the line from morbid to depraved?  Of course I'm interested in WHY, how else will I always be 3 steps ahead of a murderer?

Also, I don't think there's anything morbid about witchcraft.  That's like plan C when your kid has a stubborn fever and you can't get into the urgent care quick enough.
