What a score of 30–44 means
A score of 30 to 44 means you checked between 56 and 70 items. You have explored most sections of the test: relationships and intimacy, heavy partying, a range of substances and probably some trouble along the way.
At this point you are well below the midpoint. People in this range tend to be outgoing, social and comfortable taking risks.
Typical experiences in this range
- Nearly all of the romance and intimacy items.
- Heavy nightlife: clubs, raves, wild parties and lots of hangovers.
- Several substance-related items.
- Some legal consequences, such as tickets, citations or police encounters.
The flip side
A "life of the party" score often comes with great memories, and sometimes with a few regrets. If you ever feel your choices have been driven by pressure rather than by what you want, that is worth reflecting on. See our article on healthy ways to think about your score.

No. The test asks whether you have ever done something, so scores only stay the same or go down.
