The AFP Purity Test


V 1.0 3rd August 1996.

The test consists of sections 1 through 6 only. Section 7 questions are not part of the test (currently...) and are included for interest only. Any additional questions to be sent to:

Afpurity@toreador.demon.co.uk.

To calculate your percentage purity, add up the number of questions to which you have answered 'Yes' to, and subtract this from 100. The lower your AFPurity score the more you know about AFP.

This test maintained by Darrell Ottery (Darrell@lspace.org), and a record of scores kept. To be included or removed mail your AFPurity score to:
