What a score of 20–29 means
Scoring between 20 and 29 means you checked between 71 and 80 items. That includes most of the romantic, intimate, party, substance and rule-breaking questions. Only the most extreme items are likely still unchecked.
Scores this low are uncommon among online test takers. They usually belong to people with a very adventurous past, or adults who have simply lived a lot of life.
Typical experiences in this range
- Practically every relationship and intimacy item.
- Extensive experience with alcohol and other substances.
- Several serious rule-breaking items, possibly including arrests.
- Lots of "I can't believe I did that" moments.
