So, after being pointed at a thread on Classic-Space by Felix Greco, I figured it might be interesting to see how the community feels about Lego purity in general. So, I made a little test:

Right now, it’s only got my own information, but as more people start filling it out, it ought to get more interesting!

(...) Hmmm, I know I'm not Mr Pure, but I'm not sure why I scored quite so (URL) low>! Tim (17 years ago, 25-Sep-07, to lugnet.general, FTX)

(...) Dave that was fun. Apparently I'm 8.25 on your purity scale. I feel all fresh and clean. Like a summer's day. (URL) Thanks, -Keith. (17 years ago, 25-Sep-07, to lugnet.general, FTX)

As a bit of a puritan (in Lego terms ; ) I was shocked to not even make 8... Great idea though! God Bless, Nathan (17 years ago, 25-Sep-07, to lugnet.general, FTX)
  Re: Lego Purity
 
On a scale of 0-10, you rated yourself 9/10 in terms of purity. According to our data, on a purity scale from 0-10, you rate 9.05/10. I guess I know myself pretty well. ; ) David (17 years ago, 25-Sep-07, to lugnet.general, FTX)
  Re: Lego Purity
 
(...) LOL it's a fun test, but different people may use different criteria for answering the questions. For example I used "Have you/would you use ... ?" to answer mine, and scored 0/10, but I haven't actually used many of the things I marked "ok" (...) (17 years ago, 25-Sep-07, to lugnet.general, FTX)

(...) WOOT! 0.23/10. not even making it to one. I would like to thank the countless baseplates and bricks cut, my love of the clickits double ended joiner, and Brasso for this outstanding achivement. Thank you one and all. Aaron A (17 years ago, 25-Sep-07, to lugnet.general, FTX)
  Re: Lego Purity
 
WOW. I guess I don't know myself at all! I rated myself 8 out of 10 and came out around 3 on the scale. There were some items where I had no particular feeling or I felt it didn't apply, so perhaps that was a factor. Anyway, still love the hobby so (...)

David & All, (...) Wow, I thought myself maybe an 8, and I ended up with a 1.33. Well, considering that I have no issues with cutting baseplates, wire for train creations, cutting up official LEGO wiring to extend them, painting elements that never (...)

  Re: Lego Purity
 
Hello! OK... I considered myself quite pure in respect of Lego. My first try yielded a poor impure 5.something, though. So I thought it over, adjusted some answers from "of course!" to "I don’t mind", and suddenly I’m 7.98/10 pure. What keeps me (...) (17 years ago, 26-Sep-07, to lugnet.general)

(...) Got to be something wrong with the scoring as I put three down as blasphemy and rest fine with me, but still got a 0.00--impossible in any kind of scoring scheme I can think of. Especially since the scores were defined with two significant (...) (17 years ago, 26-Sep-07, to lugnet.general, FTX)
  Re: Lego Purity
 
(...) Congrats Dave, it's really an interesting idea. I didn't consider myself as pure and rated myself at 3/10. After answering I get : "According to our data, on a purity scale from 0-10, you rate 0.17/10" I don't mind if it's a good result or (...) (17 years ago, 26-Sep-07, to lugnet.general, FTX)

I'm shocked I scored as high as a 5.5! An overall 58% for fan-created customs. Pretty cool! Although I think I recognize several names in this thread having ordered from BrickForge - maybe I better start disclosing! :) Kyle Peterson BrickForge (17 years ago, 26-Sep-07, to lugnet.general, FTX)
  Re: Lego Purity
 
(...) A fun test! I thnk I came out at about 7.7. It's weird, because we're all so complex, so how do you make a simple test and gett accuate answers? For instance, under the topic of custom weapons, I personally don't use them (while I do own (...) (17 years ago, 26-Sep-07, to lugnet.general, FTX)

(...) 0.67/10!? Not shure, but whatever. I really don't mind. (URL) My question is, since most who rated clones 1/5, also rated modding clones 1/5, so if you consider clones a blasphemy, wouldn't modding clones then be a moot point? (17 years ago, 26-Sep-07, to lugnet.general, FTX)
