This is a lot of fun. That McCord Museum consistently has awesome things.

It's great fun to wear the wrong clothes.

Blah blah blah. Ha!

I did really good at it, got 990.

There's also a 1920s test that I failed horribly. Odd that.

After all the Victorian novels I've read, I'd be ashamed if I didn't do well.

I did very well for both genders, especially on the outfit questions. I guess I always know what to wear even if I am in the wrong century. I'll have to try that 20s one.

How fun! I got 923.

I just want to let you guys know that I am a picture of politeness. A lot of these are rules I grew up by, albeit modified to match contemporary society.

I do much better as a proper Victorian gentleman than as a lady. For one thing, I got the womens' clothing wrong most of the time.

My downfall was giving a gift to an old spinster lady. Who knew giving gifts could be a no-no?!

I think I'd survive Victorian life okay, but Flash interfaces are another matter.
