The Sue test was an amusing diversion. Aeriyn scored an 8 as a character. I suspect most of my characters would score low, since my characters generally tend to be fairly normal but skilled women who carry around big bags of issues.
The best way I've discovered to avoid Sue-ness in a character is to write them interesting rather than special and write them as people rather than idealized paragons.
