Dear Ann Landers,
The teen-agers here in Memphis think you are tuned in to our world like no other adult. You must get a ton of mail from teen-agers or you must talk to a lot of kids because you really have the word. Just to keep you posted I am sending a copy of a questionnaire that has been floating 193 around our high school. Nobody knows for sure where this thing got started, but the kids in my crowd, both guys and chicks, 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: KNOW THYSELF QUESTIONNAIRE (Rate yourself from 1 to 10 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 Ever lied to your folks about where you went or with Do you drink? Ever passed out from drinking? 2 6 whom? 8 194 Ever smoke pot? 7 Ever taken an LSD trip? 10 Ever considered the pregnancy route so your folks would have to let you get married? 10 Score Chart 9 or under: Queer or something: : 10 to 15: Pure as the driven snow: : 15 to 25: Passionate but prudish: : 25 to 35: Normal and decent: : 35 to 45: Indecent: : 45 to 55: Headed for serious trouble: : 55 to 60: In terrible shape: : 60 or over: Condemned: : Signed-Normal And Decent

Dear N And D,
I can't evaluate this questionnaire because each questionnaire should be evaluated on the basis of the individual scoring. Let me say it's darned interesting (though somewhat gamy), and I appreciate your sending it.
