Adult and sensitive content

The full checklist is intended for adults aged 18 and over and includes explicit topics. You may leave any item unchecked, exit the test, or delete saved checks. An unchecked item is scored the same whether the experience did not occur or you preferred not to answer.

What the question is asking

Item 25 asks whether you have had intercourse in four or more different positions. Unlike items 23 and 24 it does not count occasions; it counts variety, and the four does not have to happen on the same occasion or with the same partner.

Where people disagree about what counts

What counts as a distinct position is entirely undefined. Minor variations of the same basic position are read as one by some takers and as separate by others. There is no standard list, so this item is among the least consistently answered on the checklist.

The test is self-scored and nobody else ever sees your answer, so the only thing that matters is applying one reading consistently across the whole checklist.

How item 25 fits with the items around it

Item 25 is the first descriptive condition after the two counting items at 23 and 24. It begins a block that runs to item 27, where the checklist describes the circumstances of the act itself before moving on at item 28 to describing where and when it happened.

Item 24, before this one Had sexual intercourse 10 or more times? Item 26, after this one Had sexual intercourse with a virgin?

How it affects the score

Every question has the same one-point effect. Checking item 25 subtracts one point from the starting score of 100. Leaving it unchecked subtracts nothing, and no item on the checklist is weighted more heavily than any other.

Final score = 100 − total checked boxes

The final number never identifies this answer or any other individual answer — it is a count, so it discards which items were selected the moment it is calculated. Read the full scoring guide or look up an exact result on the 0–100 score chart.

Questions about item 25

Do the four positions have to be with the same person?

No. The item sets no condition about partners, so positions accumulated across different partners count toward the total.

What counts as a different position?

The checklist does not define it, and there is no standard reference list. Takers apply their own judgement, which makes this one of the less consistently answered items.

Do the four have to happen on the same occasion?

No. The item asks whether you have done so, not whether you did so in one session.
