    Funny quiz, but the results are a secret…

    The Ultimate Purity Exam is worth taking just to laugh at the questions and the way they’re worded. I’m not posting the entirety of my scores for the sake of… well, quite frankly, it’s no one’s damn business, but my total score was 86.19% pure (72.7% average).
