The disinhibition part of the test is pretty skewed for people who aren’t married. Us married folk end up looking like pigs, or homophobes, and I’m neither. Just open to people of all walks of life. Plus, given my life experience with rebellious experimentation, I score higher than if I discount my past. I’m a pretty straight-laced guy these days. Just like to stretch my physical and mental limits now and again. Oh well, I bit and took the test.
