Purity Test Lols

So, my dorm has become more or less obsessed with the purity test.

My hall has had people put up their scores on a big whiteboard, and it's interesting to see the distribution. The three lowest in our hall thus far are our RCC (Resident Computer Consultant) - 54%, one of my suitemates - 56.2%, and our RA - 56.6%. The highest thus far was a 94.6% -- scored by a fellow TJ-alum in my hall (all you kids reading this who still go to TJ -- this means go out and be dirtier). The scores of course, are all relative to the people around you. If all of your friends score in the 82% range and you've got yourself a pretty little 68%, then you may be labeled the "skank" of the group. Or maybe not, if you have nice friends. Conversely, a 77% with a bunch of people who average out to a 59%, might make you think twice about what you're friends are getting up to that you aren't.

However, it's important to take a step back sometimes and think about what we're actually doing.
If someone was to say to a group of you and your friends,
would you like to find out how pure you are and compare results?
besides thinking,
what the fck. what a creepy guy.
you'd probably be like,
that's stupid. why would you want to do that?

But the interesting part is that you get to know people better as a result. Of course, some of the things you learn, you might wish had never been said out loud (my friend discussed the story behind why she clicked off the "willingly urinated on yourself" question, and another discussed the story behind the "had sex in a church" question), but overall it's an excellent bonding experience. I highly suggest you take it. Feel free to post your score in the comments! (Take the 500 question one: http://www.puritytest.net/)
