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 90 asks whether you have damaged property that was not yours. It closes the property run and covers everything from graffiti to breaking something deliberately, with no threshold for value or seriousness.

Where people disagree about what counts

Whether accidental damage counts is the question people raise, and vandalism ordinarily implies intent, so most takers require that the damage was deliberate. Whether damaging something you jointly owned counts is not addressed at all.

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 90 fits with the items around it

Item 90 completes the property run at 88 to 90 and is the last item describing an act before the checklist turns to consequences. Items 91 to 95 all deal with what happens when the police become involved.

Item 89, before this one Shoplifted? Item 91, after this one Been arrested?

How it affects the score

Every question has the same one-point effect. Checking item 90 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 90

No. The item sets no threshold for value or seriousness, like every other item on the checklist.
