Gnome’s Test

Would you be able to recognize my presence or that of any other Gnome like me? 
In the summer, many people travel and merrily go around the world to ravage the most diverse natural environments, close contacts with the gnomes and other representatives of the little people is becoming more frequent, but we are not aware of it. With this short test, we rate your ability to recognize a gnome or any signs of his presence. Write down the number of answers. At the end of the test please verify your ability to recognize a gnome through the results table.

A: While you're in the thick forest in the mountains, you come across a little man a foot high with a pointed red hat and a long beard and tells you something in an incomprehensible language:

1. You run away thinking that he was a forest ranger and drop the basket with the twelve pounds of mushrooms, a bouquet of edelweiss, the woodpecker caught with the lace and the bag with turtles.

2. Start a conversation because you're thirty centimeters tall as well, with pointed hat and a long red beard.

3. You think that it is a gnome, and try to put him in the bag with the turtles.

4. You think that it is a gnome, and bowing slightly to him, and promising to yourself to drink less grappa next year.

B: You are on a nudist beach where no one wears anything, but a small man of a foot tall with a long beard wearing a red pointed hat on his head:

1. You do not take any notice, you are nervous because everyone looks at you with hostility, perhaps because you’re wearing clothes or at your Nikon camera with telephoto lens of 400 mm.

2. You ask him politely to lift his beard to photograph him. You've never seen a child so gifted.

3. You think that it is a gnome and also think that you have taken too much sun and run to wet your head.

C: While you’re putting up the tent at night with the radio on at full volume, a man of a six feet tall, with a silly looking attitude, completely naked and smelly approaches you, he is swinging a heavy stone axe mumbling incomprehensible guttural language:

1. You recognize him as a foreign tent neighbour who wants to help you and smiling you pass him a picket.

2. Do not be afraid because he looks like your son’s little friend.

3. You thought that he was your partner, then you looked better between his legs and you realized that is not him and go away with an excuse.

4. You run away shouting “a monster, a monster” throughout the camping, until a group of people in white coats reach you. Your holidays are over, but you have seen a monster.

D: You are digging a trap for bears in the National Park when a little man dressed in green with a gun approaches you with a smile:

1. You think he is a forest ranger and say to him that you’ve got lost and you're digging a shelter for the night. When he asked you why you fixed those sharp poles, you escape.

2. You think that he is an Elf of the forest and politely you offer him poisoned bait for deers that you had accidentally with you. They give you ten years for poaching and fifteen for attempted murder to a forest ranger.

3. You think that he is an Elf of the forest and you start dancing with him in the wind. You avoided to be sentenced for poaching but they will put you in a mental health centre.

E: While you’re trying to carve a piece of rock as a souvenir with prehistoric engraving, a cavity opens up, well furnished where you find a bed, a small cupboard, a tiny table with tiny cutlery and other small furniture:

1. It is the house of a very refined mouse.

2. You look inside the furniture looking for a drill, because chiseling is tiring.

3. It is the home of a gnome. You are so excited and you hide under the bed and wait, and when your child finds you, his education will be irreparably compromised.
