What a score of 9–19 means

A score between 9 and 19 means you checked between 81 and 91 of the 100 items. Only a few of the most extreme questions are still unchecked.

Scores this low are rare. They point to a past full of risk-taking, intense nightlife, a wide range of substances and probably some serious brushes with the law.

Typical experiences in this range

  • Every section of the test is heavily checked.
  • Multiple legal or disciplinary consequences.
  • Extensive substance use.
  • A long list of unusual or extreme experiences.

Taking care of yourself

If your score reflects the past and you have moved on, it's simply part of your story. If it reflects patterns that are still hurting you, please consider reaching out to a doctor, counselor or a free helpline in your country. Changing direction is always possible, and support makes it easier.

Is a score of 10 even real?

Yes, though some people with very low scores are exaggerating for fun. The test only works if you answer honestly.

Does a score this low say anything about my future?
