This is a copy of an e-mail I got today at my Yahoo! mailbox. I had
filled out a Personality test out of curiousity as to what the
Scientologists would say about MY personality and find out if I was
a SP or not. I filled this out this past December, only now do I
get any type of reply regarding it. :-)
See if you can point out the scams in this letter. :-)

Dear Lori Ann,
Our records show that you apparently never received the results of the
on-line Personality Test which you filled out on 12/12/97.
It was possibly not made clear when you originally did the test
that it is our policy not to send the Personality Test results by e-mail.
There are two reasons for this. One is out of respect for your privacy.
This test is a serious one which provides an in-depth look at your
strengths and weaknesses. The results are for you only.
The second reason is that the correct interpretation of these
results requires a skilled evaluator. Your test graph will show you your
score of 20 different personality traits, (Aggressive-Inhibited, Happy-
Depressed, etc.) however, the interrelation between these 20 points
provides additional layers of insight visible to the trained test
evaluator. The test graph itself shows very little without the assistance
of a trained evaluator.
For this reason, it is standard with this type of test that the
results be given to you in full by a trained test evaluator at one of our
testing centers. This is not a gag or a gimmick. It is part of the free
testing service and there is no change or obligation.
Should you wish to do something to improve your graph (and,
contrary to the tenets of psychology, such things as personality,
intelligence and ability can be improved), we can recommend courses, books
and services to help you do that. You are under no obligation to buy or
join anything. This is a free community service.
Your test results are important to you and your life. They reveal
things about your personality that are affecting your relationships, your
career, your well being and happiness every single day of your life.
Without these results, you are living blind. With them, you will see how
to make the most of your strengths and minimize your weaknesses.
Your test results show that you have a situation in your life that
is preventing you from being happy and achieving your full potential. You
need the full evaluation of your test so you can do something about it.
I am including here the address and phone number of our nearest
test center. Call them right away and make an appointment for a time when
you can come in and see one of our trained evaluators. Your test
evaluation will take less than an hour. The location information for the
test center near you is: Church of Scientology, Mission of Merrimack
Valley, 142 Primrose St., Haverhill, Massachusetts 01830, Tel:
508-373-7780.
If for some reason the location above is not convenient, please
let us know right away via email (scientologyinfo@scientology.net) or our
toll free 800 information line: 1-800-334-5433. In addition to the
hundreds of Churches of Scientology around the world, (of which the
address above is one) there are many thousands of groups worldwide who can
also deliver your free test evaluation. So it is very likely that another
location closer to you can be found if the one above is not convenient.
Sincerely,
Joshua Charbonneau
