Purity Test

Disclaimer: This is NOT a test to determine how "good" a fan you are or anything of that nature. Purity tests have never had anything to do with that. It is merely for fun. Take it that way, okay? :-)
Keep in mind, a purity test scores in reverse. The MORE boxes you check off, the SMALLER your purity percentage is.
Are you ready? Then go!
