And considering some of those questions, that's definitely a good thing.

I've been a fan since 1983 and am easily the "die-hard" in my circle of friends, colleagues and family members. Yet, I only obtained a 34% corrupt. Of course, that number became a bit inflated only because I had to say "yes" to the series of questions regarding how long I have been a fan (i.e., "have you been a fan for 5 years or more?" then "have you been a fan for 10 years or more?" then "have you been a fan for 15 years or more?").
Examining the questions, clearly one cannot get 100% (some are gender-based), however, I think even moderate fans will get some correct. Therefore, it is my unprofessional diagnosis that anyone with a score greater thatn 50% needs therapy. I recommend listening to other bands - followed by some U2.

Not a proper test, I believe.
As a minor note, it counts bootlegs but not singles.
More importantly, it is HEAVILY skewed towards older fans (four points for 20-year fans, 1 for new fans) and toward Europeans and rich Americans (those who can afford "multiple pilgrimages" to Ireland and attending U2 concerts in multiple countries).

Someone should do one of those tests to discover if you are an 80s or a 90s U2 fan... might be interesting!

mkay, I think I remember an Interferencer saying they celebrate the band members' birthdays with cake and ice cream. Fess up!
And I know for sure there are several Interferencers who "notice immediately when Bono changes (or worse, forgets completely) the lyrics to one line of a song during a live performance."

79% pure for me. Considering some of the wacky stuff they had on the poll ("celebrate the band members' birthdays with cake and ice cream"? WTF?), this is probably a good thing.

I guess this means there's still hope for me...
I might point out that it is impossible for any guy to be 100% corrupted, even if he is the biggest loser of all time. He still can't be the "girl on stage".

I'd say that's about enough...maybe too much...
Anymore than that and I would be pathetic, lacking any sense of a normal life... (Please don't flame me for that!)
