To compute your score: first reverse your score on questions 1, 6, 9, 12, and 15. (That is, subtract what you wrote from 5, so that a 1 becomes a 4, a 2 becomes a 3....). Then add up all 32 numbers, to get a score ranging from a low of 32 to a maximum of 128. Higher numbers mean that you are more sensitive to disgust; low numbers mean you are not easily disgusted.

My Score: 27 + 38 = 65
