What a score of 87–93 means
Scoring between 87 and 93 means you checked roughly seven to thirteen items. At this point, most people have had some romantic experience, such as dating, kissing and maybe a short relationship, plus a few classic teenage moments like sneaking out or skipping a class.
You are still clearly on the innocent side of the spectrum. Many high school seniors and college freshmen land right here.
Typical experiences in this range
- Romantic basics: dates, kissing, maybe a boyfriend or girlfriend.
- Light rule-breaking: a white lie to parents, a skipped class, staying out past curfew.
- Possibly a first sip of alcohol at a family event or party.
- Very few, if any, legal or substance-related items.
The "spark" part
This range is often described as curious. You have started exploring a little, but you think before you leap. That mix of curiosity and caution is very common and generally pretty healthy.
