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 30 asks whether you have had intercourse in a car. It is the most-checked of the specific setting items, largely because a car is the most available private space for people who do not have a place of their own.

Where people disagree about what counts

The item says car, and takers generally extend it to any vehicle — a van, a truck, a camper. Whether a parked car in a driveway also satisfies item 32 on public settings depends on where it was parked, which is where most of the disagreement about this item actually lives.

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 30 fits with the items around it

Item 30 is the first named setting after the umbrella item at 29, and it sits directly before outdoors at 31 and public at 32. Those three overlap heavily in practice: a car on a street can satisfy all three at once and cost four points including item 29.

Item 29, before this one Had sexual intercourse in a place other than a bed? Item 31, after this one Had sexual intercourse outdoors?

How it affects the score

Every question has the same one-point effect. Checking item 30 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 30

Does any vehicle count for item 30?

In practice yes. The item names a car, and takers generally read vans, trucks, and campers as covered by the same box.

Does a car also count as public for item 32?

It depends where it was parked. A car on a busy street is usually counted as public; one on an empty road usually is not.

Do I check item 29 too?

Yes, on the standard reading. A car is not a bed, so both items apply.
