Bills version of ACE Test


Recommended Posts

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.
