I managed to get into Purgatory, but only by second-guessing the test and lying as required :-)

You need to get over some of the inferiority complexes you have on this. Seriously - its bending you and your relationships all out of shape. And just because you might have a higher purity than a potential partner doesn't make it any less likely they'll find you attractive - I know this from direct experience (nobody you know though).
If someone's attracted to you they are attracted to you not your purity test score.
How kinky is that?
My guess is that at least comparable numbers of `vanilla' people who `find' polyamory through SF, as there are `0% pure' people who `find' polyamory through ... hedonism? You realise that, despite what you've been told isn't possible, that you personally do love more than one person at the same time. So, you have normal, ordinary, `boring' relationships, just n>2.

I guess that I'm a bit intimidated because any time something like this becomes a meme, my score seems to always be the "purest" overall, either in poly groups or among my friends. As far as prospective interests with significant-lower scores go, they scare me a little bit... I approach with caution.
Purity is in the eye of the test-writer
I'm usually in a similar position - not the absolutely purest, but definitely up there. But I don't find it intimidating - when I was a student, I suppose that I thought that it made me look naive? Now, I think: I'm happy with who I am, and what I do - and the things which give the test-writers a thrill aren't the things which ring my bell :-) If I wrote a purity test, you can bet that I'd be 0% pure, because I'd be setting the questions - but it would have to include things like "Have you ever cooked an Indian meal from `scratch', starting from whole spices?" :-)
Re: Purity is in the eye of the test-writer
Now *that*'s intimidating! It used to take my Ph.D. advisor (who is Indian) over two days in preparation...
Re: Purity is in the eye of the test-writer
G's comment is that you can spend two days preparing a feast-type meal in any cuisine, especially if you haven't had much practice. Some people spend that long on their Thanksgiving turkeys, for example.
Another thought: Do you ever stop to think just how intimidating to other people are many of the things which you regularly do? No one can be an expert at everything, and kinky sex isn't that exceptional, especially if it isn't what rings your bell.

Hmmm... based on past comments/entries, I guess, since this particular test hasn't generated that kind of discussion.
If someone's attracted to you they are attracted to you not your purity test score.
Not unless they're into debauching hapless geeks ;-). Seriously, though, past experiences in that part of life, as in other parts, can be a bridge or a wall between two given people.

The converse isn't true, though... a greatly-lower purity in a potential partner is something of a disincentive.
