On a serious note, there is a test called ACE (Adverse Childhood Experiences) which assesses the trauma a child experiences before 18 years of age. The higher the score, the more likely the child will use drugs, end up in jail, etc.

 

A sample questions is:

 

While you were growing up, during your first 18 years of life:

1. Did a parent or other adult in the household often or very often…

Swear at you, insult you, put you down, or humiliate you?

or

Act in a way that made you afraid that you might be physically hurt?

Yes No If yes enter 1 ________

 

(the entire test is at http://acestudy.org/...h.127143712.pdf)

 

On a lighter note, what would a Bills Fan ACE assessment tool look like?

 

I would start with:

 

While you were growing up, during your first 18 years of life:

1. Did you have to experience the Dolphins beating the Bills for the entire decade of the 1970s?

Yes No If yes enter 1 ________

2. Did you see any of Super Bowls XXV - XXVIII?

Yes No If yes enter 1 _________

3. Did you see any games that Kay Stephenson or Hank Bullough coached?

Yes No IF yes enter 1 __________

 

I suppose we could do a Sabres version too, but that would be for another board.

Did you watch the illegal forward pass that knocked the Bills out of the playoffs and springboarded the Titans to the Super Bowl?

 

Have you bought in every year after the above question just to be disappointed?

During the 1st 18 years of your life, did your team's head coach quit in the middle of the season?
