The Mary Sue Litmus Test

For kicks and giggles, I'm taking The Original Fiction Mary Sue Litmus Test using myself as the character. I want to see how plausible it is to have a real life human being be a "Mary Sue". Now, when it says "you", I'm going to designate the "creator" as my parents.

Which means that... My Mary-Sue score was a 53.

0-10 points: The Anti-Sue. Your character is the very antithesis of a Mary-Sue. Why are you even taking this test?
11-20 points: The Non-Sue. Your character is a well-developed, balanced person, and is almost certainly not a Mary Sue. Congratulations!
21-35 points: Borderline-Sue. Your character is cutting it close, and you may want to work on the details a bit, but you're well on your way to having a lovely original character. Good work.
36-55 points: Mary-Sue. Your character needs some work in order to be believable. But despair not; you should still be able to salvage her with a little effort. Don't give up.
56-70 points: Über-Sue. You've got one hell of a Mary-Sue on your hands here, and it's not going to be easy to set things right. But do your best. There may be hope for you yet.
71 points or more: Irredeemable-Sue. You're going to have to start over, my friend. I know you want to keep writing, but no. Just no.

I am apparently a Mary-Sue, according to this test. You have all been warned. Watch your backs. I don't know how they add things up for this, otherwise I would add that here.

AND NOW WE BOUNCE!
