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 41 asks whether someone has walked in on you during intercourse. It records an interruption rather than an act, and it is the only item in this part of the checklist where the defining event was caused by a third party.

Where people disagree about what counts

The question is how much the other person had to see. A door opening and closing immediately is read by some as being walked in on and by others as a near miss. The item does not set a threshold, and most takers check it if someone entered and realised what was happening.

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 41 fits with the items around it

Items 41 to 43 form the interruption cluster: being walked in on, displacing a roommate, and a roommate being present. All three describe the collision between sex and shared living space, which is also what items 34 and 35 are about from the setting side.

Item 40, before this one Had sexual intercourse with five or more people? Item 42, after this one Kicked a roommate out to have sexual intercourse?

How it affects the score

Every question has the same one-point effect. Checking item 41 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 41

Does a near miss count for item 41?

The checklist does not define it. Most takers check the item if someone entered and understood what was happening, and leave it unchecked if the door closed before that.

Does it matter who walked in?

No. The item names nobody, so a parent, a roommate, or a stranger all satisfy it equally.

How is this different from item 32?

Item 32 is about being somewhere the public could see. Item 41 is about someone actually walking in, usually in a private space.
