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 42 asks whether you have asked a roommate to leave your shared room so that you could have intercourse there. The practice is common enough in American student housing to have its own slang, and this item is the checklist's record of it.

Where people disagree about what counts

Whether the request had to be explicit is the usual question. A roommate who left of their own accord after reading the situation is treated as qualifying by some takers and not by others. The item says "kicked out", which suggests a deliberate request.

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 42 fits with the items around it

Item 42 is the middle of the interruption cluster at 41 to 43 and the mirror of item 43: one describes removing the roommate, the other describes not removing them. Both depend on the residence-hall setting introduced at item 34.

Item 41, before this one Been walked in on while having sexual intercourse? Item 43, after this one Had sexual intercourse while roommate was in the room?

How it affects the score

Every question has the same one-point effect. Checking item 42 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 42

Does it count if my roommate left on their own?

Most takers say no, since the item describes asking them to go. A roommate who chose to leave without being asked is generally not counted.

Does it have to be a university roommate?

The item does not say so. Any shared room arrangement is generally read as qualifying, though the item clearly comes from a campus context.

How does item 42 relate to item 43?

They are opposites. Item 42 is removing the roommate first; item 43 is the roommate being in the room at the time.
