Everything Purity Test (thing) by Saige

It has to be created, by someone, someday, you know it. There's not a chance that we can make it without someone taking it upon themselves to write one, so that we can all see how Everythingified we all are...

Thanks quite much to MoJoe, anotherone, and liveforever for their question ideas, as I've used some of them, and will probably use more in the next draft - I just wanted to limit the first one to 250 questions.

The Everything Purity Test: First Complete Draft - Dated 10/18/01

If you see errors/omissions, or have suggestions for new questions/old questions to remove/any other interesting ideas, please /msg me.

Scoring:

Rather simple. Add up the number of YES answers you have. Multiply it by 0.4. Subtract the result from 100. This is your percentage of purity when it comes to E2.

I won't give some fancy and arbitrary scale to measure yourself against - you can only measure against other noders. However, anything less than 25% pure and you really probably should spend a little less time here and more time on real life :)
