94% pure. I might be 92% but I’m not sure what they mean by “have you done it underage?”. Does that mean I did it while I was underage, or with an underage person while I was not? If it is the first one, then I am 92%. ---

64%… they forgot some odd ones in there that would’ve brought down my purity score by a LOT more. :eek: Anyway… 😉 ---

Worst part is, if I’d answered the last one, “Do you think we care?” as yes, I’d have gotten a 38% [sub]Fortunately, by the time my daughter is old enough to read and understand this, the SDMB server will have self destructed/suffered hamster overload, and the evidence will be lost.[/sub] 😃 ---

100%. I’m not sure if I’m unhappy about that or not… But there were no questions like: -Have you done it all alone? -Have you done it on the phone? -Have you done it on the 'net? -Did you get your keyboard wet? Unfair sampling, it seems to me. ---

70% or 72%, depending on how you define “fox.” But don’t they want to know if I’ve done it in a public restroom?! Doesn’t anyone want to know if I’ve done it in a public restroom?! Ask me if I’ve done it in a public restroom!!! ---
