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 70 asks whether you have been on a date without a chaperone. It is the most obviously dated item on the checklist: chaperoned dating was a normal expectation when the list was written and is close to unknown for most people taking it now.
Where people disagree about what counts
For the great majority of takers there is nothing to weigh, because every date they have been on has been unchaperoned. The item is really only meaningful for people from communities where chaperoning is still practised, which is a small share of the audience.
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 70 fits with the items around it
Item 70 closes the social and sexual half of the checklist. Immediately after it the list changes category entirely: items 71 to 84 cover substances, 85 to 95 cover legal experiences, and 96 to 99 cover school. It also answers back to item 2, which asked about dating with no conditions attached.
How it affects the score
Every question has the same one-point effect. Checking item 70 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.
