This sanity score is culturally biased. I am a Muslim, but my culture is Buddhism -- a culture which places great emphasis on celibacy. I am myself a celibate, as I intent to enter religious service.

I took your "Sanity Score" test, and often had to click "not in a relationship". The test interpreted this as severe anxiety and sexual distress. This is completely untrue. While I take this test with less than a grain of sand, I still feel that it should be re-evaluated to remove such biases.

I mean no insult to those who developed it, and I have the best of intentions in my criticism. I simply wish to see a fairer evaluation and assessment.
Thanks for this!

Thank you for your feedback. We will look into incorporating it into a future version of the test.
