The quiz was titled    What Are You Best Fitted For: Love or a Career? The test asks readers to answer a string of questions about situations and preferences. A preponderance of No answers marked the reader as destined for marriage. The questions paint career women in a pretty unfriendly light; apparently we dislike men and have no interest in romance. Thank goodness for Helen Gurley Brown, who some 20 years later let us know we could have both. I love that this screen shot has some womans answers penciled in   she was destined for marriage and true love. Enjoy.
