Nobody knows for sure where this thing got started, but the kids in my crowd, both guys and dolls, think it’s pretty good. I would like your opinion of this questionnaire, and I know you will level. Please don’t suggest I take it home and get my mother’s views. If she saw it, she would faint, and we’d have to call the doctor. Here it is: Know Thyself Questionnaire (Score the number indicated for each “yes” answer) Ever gone out with a member of the opposite sex? 4 Ever been kissed? 4 Ever been French kissed? 4 Ever been kissed while in a reclining position? 5 Ever gotten or given a hickey? 3 Ever been kissed in your pajamas? 2 Ever been kissed against your will? 2 Ever parked for more than an hour? 5 Ever said, “I love you”? 3 Ever said, “I love you” to more than one person? 3 Ever gone steady? 4 Ever been picked up by a person you never saw before? 7 Ever played strip poker with a member of the opposite sex? 5 Have you gone all the way? 10 Have you had the desire to go all the way but managed to keep from it? 2 Have you ever made a member of the opposite sex cry? 4 Has a member of the opposite sex ever made you cry? 4 Do you smoke? 2 Do you drink? 2 Ever passed out from drinking? 6 Ever lied to your folks about where you went or with whom? 8 Ever smoke pot? 7 Ever taken an LSD trip? 10 Ever consider the pregnancy route so your folks would SCORE CHART or under to 15 15 to 25 25 to 35 35 to 45 45 to 55 have to let you get married? 10 Queer or something Pure as the driven snow Passionate but prudish Normal and decent Indecent Headed for serious trouble 55 to 60 In terrible shape 60 or over Condemned Signed-Normal and Decent
