Highlander Purity Test

The 100 point Highlander Purity test

version 1.0 by alpine@holly.colostate.edu - copy and distribute freely

This test rates your relative Highlander purity. The majority of these 100 questions assume that you have watched Highlander The Series and have at least heard of Highlander and immortals at some point in your life. So you won't have to wade through lots of questions asking if you've ever read a book on immortals and Watchers, seen a gorgeous Highlander related fru, etc.


This test is purely for fun and entertainment. One of those things that Quink and I were browsing the web when this idea came to our minds and thought you would all have fun with it. If you do not feel that your score is relative to your Highlander obsession then ignore it, and feel good in the knowledge that if you believe you are Highlander obsessed and that you have something no test can measure.
