That is so DISGUSTING

[B. de Corbin]

Here's a cute little quiz you can take to find out how sensitive to disgust you are.

Note: if you have a moderately low threshold of disgust, you may not want to take this quiz while eating...

It's not it disgusts so much as I don't want to get sick from it, which is what this test is supposed to test. Only one picture actually disgusted me the rest I just didn't want to touch. It's not so much an issue of disgust as it is "I think this might make me sick"

I seem to have scored on par with the hypothesis.

I don't seem to equate 'seems dangerous' with 'disgust'. I don't think the test was quite explicit enough. I can always go wash my hands. If I had to walk around all day after touching something and couldn't wash my hands, I'd think twice about all these answers.

I'm having the same problem. It's not a matter of disgust, so much as "this will make me sick" or "I'm effing terrified of anything that flies and stings".

Actually...the only thing that I would not have touched without complete and utter disgust was the teeth.

I *have* touched most of the rest of that stuff, or something similar (though for the burn and the wound go wrong, that's what gloves are for--as much for the patient's protection as mine).

The worst part for some of them is actually the smell.
