I took this quiz and got 77%.
Curious to see how other Dopers score on this…
I am 21% germaphobic.
Honestly, I’m surprised I scored that high. I place myself firmly in the “God made dirt; dirt don’t hurt” camp.
Damn, I got a 0%. (although some of the questions don’t seem relevant to the subject)
39%. I thought the last question was really weird. Anyone who washes their hands after they go to the bathroom would wash their hands 5 times or more per day, unless they went to the bathroom less than five times a day.
I got 1%. Interestingly, the site told me “congratulations, you are 1% germaphobic.” Do they congratulate everyone or are they glad I’m not a germaphobe?
To get 0%, you would have had to answer all the nastiest answers. This means that you selected, “hardly at all, even if i have used the bathroom…” for an answer to, “how many times a day do you wash your hands honestly…”
:dubious:
By the way, I selected, “any time there is opportunity” for that question. 
That’s exactly what I was thinking.
I selected “maybe once or twice, if i have gone to the bathroom” and I still got zero.
That’s interesting. 
Hmm…
10%. I think the best way to have a strong immune system is to force it to work hard everyday to deal with all of the nasties in the environment.
They asked for honesty. I hardly ever wash my hands.
58%.
They congratulated me too, so I’m guessing they do that for everyone.
8% here.
I also got a 0%. My answers were:
1. 31 to 40
2. Female
3. i don’t really think about it…
4. Give it up without a problem…you don’t care
5. Head straight for the 'fridge
6. remove it and keep eating…
7. soap?..i bathe in the lake!
8. fine…
9. do nothing
10. Nothing.
11. No, but you find a way to make it unoffensive to them
12. 3-4
13. 5 times or more
It wasn’t clear to me which answers they considered more or less germy on some of the questions, but my answers for 11, 12, and 13 in particular are nowhere near the “nastiest” options. They’re just the non-crazypeople options.
31% - I’m not germaphobic about sharing deodorant - I just don’t want to do it. ick
I got 16%, which sounds about right.
Some of those questions are stupid. I’d feel “a little awkward” if someone I just met kissed me, but only because that seems a little overly intimate. I wouldn’t even think about germs as an issue. Similarly, I wouldn’t ever share deodorant, because in my mind, that’s sort of like sharing a toothbrush - just a bit too intimate for a causal acquaintance. I wouldn’t care if my wife wanted to for some bizarre reason. Again - nothing at all to do with germs.
I wouldn’t *want *to share deodorant, but to help out a friend in an emergency I’d go along.
ETA: What does watching someone eating with mouth open have to do with germs? Assuming you’re more than a few inches away.
51% for me. I can’t decide if that’s good, or bad. 
Huh. 39%
I am so not a germaphobe, too. I spent a summer inspecting septic systems.
Just to prove it, I’m going to swing by the truck stop on the way home and lick the rim of a urinal. (I hope there’s no hair)
That’s what I thought. You see, it’s quite evident that I am quite germaphobic. Even I chose “Do nothing,” for that question because it has nothing to do with germs.
Unfortunately, that’s how online quizzes are. They are not really the best quality. I noticed that some questions were irrelevant too.
