I’m one notch away from being completely and perfectly nice. Somehow, that doesn’t seem quite right…

Most people think you’re as good as gold. We know better. Sure, you’re generally a by-the-book, law-abiding  
model citizen, but every once in a while you like to break a rule or three. Skinny dipping? Done it. Had a drink  
too many now and then? Guilty as charged. But chances are that’s pretty much the worst of it. We all have a  
few skeletons in our closet, but when it comes right down to it, you’re a nice person. You wouldn’t dream of  
making a serious play for your best friend’s squeeze, and you always pay your traffic fines — speeding and  
parking tickets. It’s a good balance. If everyone was like you, the world would be a happier place, so keep it  
up!  
Whaddaya know… same as Welfy. Heh… 🙂

I scored one notch into the naughty side, along with Nacho4Sara and Dire Wolf.

Just A _barely_ nice Girl.

I was a half a notch to the nice side from the middle line.

“You’re better than bad, but not quite as good as it gets. Lying and cheating to get ahead isn’t your style, but an occasional one-night stand isn’t out of the question.”  
I second Nacho4Sara’s reccomendatino of [http://www.thespark.com](http://www.thespark.com) It rules 😃

**So, I’m slightly naughty, but I thought you liked it that way…**

We won’t call the Vice Squad quite yet, but you’re just a few crazy nights away from officially becoming “naughty.” You’ve broken your share of rules — maybe had a few flings, taken some serious risks, embellished the truth every now and again to save your skin — but you’re still nice when it counts. If it’s dangerous, cruel, or really illegal, chances are you haven’t done it. Which is probably just as it should be. We all like to walk on the wild side now and then (it can be so much fun to be bad!), but it’s important to strike a balance and keep your urges in check. You’re doing pretty darn well so far — keep up the good work!

**You’re a Straight Arrow**.

You’re all about sweetness, sunshine, and smiles. We’ve never met anyone nicer than you. In fact, we wouldn’t be surprised to come across you sitting in a peaceful green meadow, surrounded by adorable baby animals eating out of your hand while your halo shines in the sun. Nah, we’re just kidding. But you are an awfully good person. Sure, you may have dipped your toe in the naughty pool once or twice, but you generally stick to the shallow end, leaving the deep waters to the leather-and-nudie-magazine crowd. It’s all well and good to follow the straight and narrow, but it’s okay to walk on the wild side once in a while, too. Have a drink. Make a crank call. Go to strip club. Trust us — as long as no one gets hurt, it’s fun to be bad!

It’s good to be nicce,  
but I think I need to be more baaaaaaaaaaad.😃

Yeah - ok - fair call - I can’t really argue with that. I’ll have to dig out the old corruption test I had floating around.

I’d probably have more fun if I was naughty. 😃

Two clicks toward the **Nice** side?! These guys are high!

In this case, totally specious.

Ah, but did you peg it? _All_ the way nice? I still maintain my naughtiness–that test is obviously flawed. Why, it didn’t ask _anything_ about group sex, manufacturing explosives, clandestine entry, or even blackmail of school officials! How can you possibly gauge someone’s naughtiness without asking these obvious questions?

**LaurAnge** , I’m with you. I’d have to agree, they asked the wrong questions, and didn’t always provide the right answers … but oh well, it looks like I’m in good company. 🙂 It’s scary to think that most of the people here could corrupt me … hmm, we’ll have to compare purity scores, too. =)  
Oh, and for the record, I agree with Anniz:

[Test #1](http://test.thespark.com/puritytest/) from The Spark.

[Test #2](http://www.armory.com/tests/sex1500.html) from [The Armory](http://www.armory.com/). This is the super-duper 1500-point version. There are lots of smaller versions one level back, as well as purity tests on other subjects … go wild. =) (Well, some of you can … the rest of us don’t know how, apparently. ;))

Nope. I was still a little to the naughty side. Which makes me wonder how you can be better than “good as gold.”
