FYI, my teenage daughter informed me this is a parody on a Purity Test going around at secondary schools. That purity tests is regarding romantic relationships and all its aspects.

No, a "purity test" can be on any topic really and has been going on at least since I remember in the late 80s.

There have been many "purity tests" before and after that one in the exact same format, that one is just perhaps the most well known so the author copied the format.

Thanks for the clarification. As I didn't grow up in the Anglo-Saxon-speaking part of the world, it was a novel concept to me.

I'd have thought that it's more likely a parody of the now quite dated Hacker Test (itself inspired by purity tests) that was making the rounds on Usenet in the late-'80 and '90s: http://www.mit.edu/people/nathanw/tests/hacker
