>>I don't find touch repulsive or vulgar, but I have to know and trust the person doing the touching.<<
There are a lot of people who welcome or tolerate touch from friends/family far better than touch from strangers.
>>The way the quiz was phrased made it seem like the authors disapproved of touch aversion (the phrase "I find your touch vulgar" is quite insulting, and the actual feeling, for me, is more "your touch makes me feel nervous").<<
There are also people who find touch to be physically unpleasant, or avoid it for other reasons. A more refined quiz would be better, but alas, there are limits to what can be found online.
Touch aversion is often scorned, though. That really doesn't help the situation any.

Oh, that's a good example. Thanks!
