Baker House redux

I scored 65 ¾% on the classic 400 Point Purity Test!

Take the test here!

Given that most of my friends are in the 30s-50s, I suppose that this is yet another measure of how I'm unsuited for their company, out of their collective league, &c...

An unrequested observation

[ag-unicorn.livejournal.com]

The test is really not terribly accurate or scientific, it's a game... but it does loosely reflect past life experiences in the romance/sexual area. Great disparaties reflect a lack of shared experience, and perhaps lack of understanding between people or groups.

An observation on this, if I might:

The purity test not only reflects past life experiences...it reflects personal interest in some of the things that are asked about (specifically the substance use bits, and some of the sexual bits reflect interest as well as experience).

In many purity tests, I score abnormally high because there is a heavy weighting on some areas that I simply will always be pure in, largely because I have no interest in ever losing some of those purity points (I'm not into necrophilia, for example, and never will be).

My score on this one? 33.3%...but there's a lot less weighting on the drugs and such, and a lot more weighting on the sorts of things I did when I was a sexually-frustrated teenager.

I think a high score is not necessarily a reflection on either your past experiences or your desireability (other than to those for whom depurifying a person is an end into and of itself. ;) ).

And, above all...it's for fun, and remarkably subjective. :)

granted... and while there are many things listed in which I have no interest (hard drugs, scat, necrophilia, etc.) there's certainly interest on my part in the sexual areas. I simply never sowed any wild oats, proverbially, either as a teenager or later... nose-to-the-grindstone, 80-hour week-after-week in grad school, being "responsible" and "mature" as a teen or 20-something.

When I was a sexually-frustrated teenager, I did my best to follow the advice I was given and deny and control those impulses, aided by being generally-unattractive and a social outcast. So I feel like an invisible wall separates me from those friends who have (or had) a wilder side. Sort of a different angle on squandering one's youth, I guess...
