| So, after being pointed at a (URL) 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: (URL) Right now, it's only got my own information, (...) (17 years ago, 25-Sep-07, to lugnet.general, FTX) !!

| | | | | Re: Lego Purity
|
| (...) I'm kind of suprised as well, actually-- it seems that a fair number of people think that Galidor, Znap, Bionicle, Clikits, etc are more impure than I would've thought them to be. I would've figured more people would say that they were fine, (...) (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)

| (...) Wow, I'm even worse... I feel dirty! Anyway thanks, nice to see what is the general trend :) Would it be possible also to show the overall general score? Cheers, Matija (17 years ago, 25-Sep-07, to lugnet.general, FTX)

| 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
|
| (...) I thought I did - I rated myself an 8, and came in at 8.3 or thereabouts when I started... but I was the 2nd person to fiull it out. Over time, I've noticed my purity score is dropping (but only due to a few questions... odd, I wonder if I (...) (17 years ago, 25-Sep-07, to lugnet.general)
| | | | | 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)
| | | | | Re: Lego Purity
|
| (...) Yeah, I thought about that at first-- more of a standard "Purity Test" rather than a "Lego-Purism" test. A "have-you-ever" sort of deal, to tell how much of a Lego Saint you were or something. But then I started thinking about it, and, well, (...) (17 years ago, 25-Sep-07, to lugnet.general, FTX)
| | | | | Re: Lego Purity

Basically, I was using a weighted average and a straightforward "distance from the mean" method for calculating scoring. I now (...) (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 (...)

| 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)

| (...) Congrats Dave, it's really an interesting idea. I didn't consider myself as pure and rated myself at 3/10.

| (...) Heh, yep, that's precisely how it's supposed to work :) If you're ok with things like gluing, using stickers, etc, then you're not as big of a purist! If you count everything as blasphemous, though, then you're a pretty definite purist! DaveE (17 years ago, 26-Sep-07, to lugnet.general, FTX)
| | | | | Re: Lego Purity

| (...) yea, I understand that, but I cannot be a pure non-purist which is what a 0.00 score would indicate if I thought 3 were blasphemous.
