Purity Test

[joreth]

I haven't taken the Purity Test in a few years, and it came up in conversation recently, so I thought I'd look it up and see what my score was now. I took the 500 Point ACL test:

You answered "yes" to 264 of 500 questions, making you 47.2% sexually pure (52.8% sexually corrupt); that is, you are 47.2% pure in the sex domain.

Unfortunately, all the questions about drugs keeps my score more-pure than I think of myself, but I don't consider drug use to be synonymous with "sexually pure".

When I was first introduced to the purity test, it really wasn't about sexual purity. It was about purity in general. It had a large section on crimes, a large section on drugs, and a few just weird random things that were deemed to make you less pure... oh bad acts, I guess, like lying to a friend. It also had a large section on sex, but it wasn't about sexual purity specifically.

I'm glad though the modern tests are moving further away from the earlier versions that count bisexuality as vastly impure. They'd have a whole section on have you done this, that, and the other thing with a member of the opposite sex. Then a whole section identical to it but with a member of the same sex. If you were purely heterosexual in actions or purely homosexual in actions, then you were moderately impure, but bisexuals who had the opportunity to have at least one male and one female partner suddenly are getting scores you have to do a lot of drugs or crimes to get otherwise. I've seen recent tests that try to avoid this and not count bisexuality quite so heavily as an easy way to be more impure.

Heh. Thanks for linking, the diversion was fun.

I got 34.4% sexually pure (65.6% sexually corrupt). Sweet.
