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 43 asks whether you have had intercourse while a roommate was in the room. It is the counterpart to item 42 and describes the situation where the room was not vacated.

Where people disagree about what counts

Whether the roommate was awake is the main question, and the item does not say. Most takers count both cases, since the item asks about presence rather than about awareness. Whether the roommate had agreed to the arrangement is also unaddressed.

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 43 fits with the items around it

Item 43 closes the interruption cluster that began at item 41. Read as a set, 41 to 43 cover being discovered, avoiding discovery, and proceeding without avoiding it — which is a fairly complete treatment of privacy in shared accommodation.

Item 42, before this one Kicked a roommate out to have sexual intercourse? Item 44, after this one Had sexual intercourse more than 10 times with one person?

How it affects the score

Every question has the same one-point effect. Checking item 43 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 43

Does it count if the roommate was asleep?

Most takers count it. The item asks whether they were in the room, not whether they were awake or aware.

How is item 43 different from item 41?

Item 41 is someone walking in unexpectedly. Item 43 is someone already being there.

Do items 42 and 43 both apply to me?

They can, if both situations have happened on different occasions. They describe opposite outcomes of the same shared-room problem.
