I live in a condo complex with a pool, and there's a key to get into the pool. Naturally, I've lost the key. The condo management wants $150 for a new one, which seems a little excessive. Unfortunately, it's a Medeco key, and from Googling around, it looks like they've done a good job of locking up the market so that people like my condo manager can jack you up.

Has anybody tried the
Johnson O'Connor Aptitude Test? It was enthusiastically recommended to me, and some of the information I've found makes sense, but I'd like a little more data before I try it, because:
- It's expen$ive
- Some of the "science" sounds like new-age horsefeathers
- The site is hosted at AOL, which sets off "scam" warning bells
- There aren't any straightforward "I did it and it was/wasn't worth it" accounts on the Web.
