| 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)

| (...) Ow, my purity! DaveE (17 years ago, 26-Sep-07, to lugnet.general)
| | | | | Re: Lego Purity
|
| (...) I did about as well on this as I usually do on purity tests. :shrug: (17 years ago, 26-Sep-07, to lugnet.general, FTX)
| | | | | Re: Lego Purity
|
| (...) So, then, the way you're fudging the LEGO purity scores... makes you less pure? Wow, this could get needlessly self-referential... (17 years ago, 26-Sep-07, to lugnet.general)
| | | | | Re: Lego Purity
|
| 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 (...)

| (...) Tee hee hee my love of TLG side-elements has ruined my purity. (URL) Tim (17 years ago, 26-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 (...)

|
| (...) 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)

|
| (...) So if you bought it in September and the store manager said that "it does not ship until October, so the double would not apply. If it was released in September then yeah..." This is my dilema. Do I pursue it or not? (17 years ago, 25-Sep-07, to lugnet.general)

| (...) No Dave Eaton test will ever truly wash away the taint on you, Keith, but as long as you keep building monstrously dictatorial dioramas, we'll still love you. Aaron (17 years ago, 25-Sep-07, to lugnet.general, FTX)
| | | | | Re: Lego Purity
|
| (...) Alright, I sneakily changed how it calculates things behind-the-scenes, so... you're still low, but not *AS* low. 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'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)
| | | | | Re: Lego Purity

| (...) 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)
| | | | | 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
|
| (...) 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)
