Purity tests are more purity tests are everywhere, proliferating on the internet like rabbits in Australia. What exactly is the appeal of these things, aside from instant gratification? Anything? And do low scores mean you should ask yourself how you expect to be taken seriously online? Plus, as a bonus, more instant gratification: a purity test at the end of the piece.

Purity test activity is an outgrowth of the curiosity that we all have regarding how others view us and our own self-judgment as to whether we are as good as our peers. Self-gratification of any kind, but most notably when of a sexual nature, is sometimes seen as being a negative pursuit to follow. Often purity tests are taken at social gatherings for amusement and although they shouldn't be taken seriously it's human nature to want to fit in and be one of the crowd. They may also be used to reveal aspects or desires that one would otherwise be too shy to talk about.
