Just so you can officially say that you’re a retard... this is a serious thing! Really!

Oh, I’ve just read over it again, and it means:
I’m 15% a retard
I’m 85% not a retard
Not bad, I thought I’d be worse! ;-)

Oops, my bad....there are two posts on this...sorry mods, almost accused you of deleting my post there!
Maybe I’m just a standard retard!

You answered “yes” to 37 of 100 questions, making you 63.0% socially_retarded pure (37.0% socially_retarded corrupt)
**goodie** :)

Hihi! I answered yes 20 times. Much better than I could guess! ;-)

Yeah, I didn’t get a couple of the abreviations when I first saw it.
MOH = Member of the Opposite Sex
HD = Hard-Drive
There are still some that I don’t get. Like, in questions 7,8 & 9 it says “do you have more than 5 sns?”. What’s that?
ncurran said on November 14, 2004 03:09:
yeah i have no idea what sns is either....thanks for clarifying those other 2 though.

I thought I was the only one who couldn’t understand some questions... Now it’s ok, I see it’s a problem for native english speakers too

You answered “yes” to 22 of 100 questions, making you 78.0% socially_retarded pure (22.0% socially_retarded corrupt).
Hope this is not too bad....

Well... SNS (Saturday Night Special) is slang for a cheap handgun, however I doubt that’s what they mean :)
When I googled it seems as it’s the username when playing CS and Quake etc
ScreenNameS maybe?

The thing is, I don’t really get the results.
“You answered “yes” to 15 of 100 questions, making you 85.0% socially retarded pure (15.0% socially retarded corrupt).”
Does that mean I’m a retard or not? And then when you click on the definition of “socially retarded pure” - it has this to say:
“I have received several complaints that the purity test program does not appear to be calculating purity correctly. These come from users who expect that answering yes to more questions will result in a higher purity. This is a result of confusion about the meaning of the term purity. As applied to the results of a purity test, your purity is proportional to how many things in the domain of the test you have not done. The more you have done, the less pure (and more corrupt) you are in the test’s domain. In other words, the foo test tells you how pure/uncorrupt you are in the domain of fooity, not how purely foo you are. If the nerd test tells you you’re 99% nerd pure, it does not mean you’re 99% pure nerd (ack!)”
Now I’m even more confused!
