I'm apparently only 31% insane.

Gosh... I'm only 11.36% insane. I thought I could do better than that!

Not half as worried as I am. I've got a reputation to keep up! ;-)

In which direction are you claiming the inaccuracy?

Er, do you think you're more or less than half mad?

The purity test on that site is also rigged as it puts emphasis on the past three months. On thespark I get a single-figure for purity, on this one it's 15%.

Which direction do you think?

Not commenting :o)

Impressed with your purity test scores, though. And slightly scared. I think single figures means you've answered yes to either necrophilia or liking tom holt.....

Naah - didn't have to 'fess up to either of them. I won't reveal any more sordid details, however, even if Skiffle apears to be busy doing something more sensible at the moment. I wouldn't want to frighten her.

(Old joke - I'm into necrophilia, bestiality and sado-masochism. Am I flogging a dead horse?)

Then you must have taken one of the shorter versions. It's pretty hard to get a single digit score on the longer ones without being even more warped than I suspect you of being. Of course, I could be wrong.

www.thespark.com

100 questions, a few of them quite shocking.

On the gender test it reckons I'm a girl. Not sure how that happened...

Yeah, the 100 question is relatively easy to get a low score on even if you're fairly normal. The 500 question one is not.

That's not a good purity test. When it asks if you've had sex, it doesn't distinguish whether or not you were married to the person in question at the time.

Absolutely not... but it does make it not impure.

Addendum for clarity: there is a whole world of difference between sex in the context of a committed relationship (marriage or otherwise, depending on your personal moral values) and, let's say, a one-night stand. I think most people would agree that the latter does not come very high in the purity stakes! ;-)

That's not a bad plan, especially as a lot of the other things are also very context-dependent. Moreover, there is no allowance made for someone who may have done something in the past that they regret, but no longer does it and wouldn't do it again.
