I found this site and thought others might get a kick out of it. It’s a gay test that gives you a percentage. [http://www.channel4.com/life/microsites/G/gayometer/gayometer.html](http://www.channel4.com/life/microsites/G/gayometer/gayometer.html) Someone else probably posted this before (I’m usually late to the party) but just in case. I got a 16% What did everyone else get? ---

63%. This is consitent with my self-placement of 4 on the Kinsey Scale. ---

The ‘test’ seems to aimed at men. I scored 100% gay, by the way. ---

30%, some of the questions needed a none of the above or other option. ---

When I 1st saw that meter go up to 100% I said, wait something’s wrong. Then I realized it was only an avi clip while it calculated my: 33% gay rating…“open minded between the sheets, but rarely show a gay side when out on the streets” ---

I got 16% as well. Not gay BTW. ---

46%, and a happy well-adjusted homo-guy. Happy, homo, guy…yep. But well-adjusted? How boring! ---

53% gay here. I guess I have to find a woman to be with 47% of the time. Not my idea of a fun time. ---

Uh just for the record-I don’t think this test has a lot of scientific value. Ok, I don’t know exactly why I feel I have to qualify myself. But I’m going to anyway. Even though I scored a 16%, I am not gay. I’ve never had any gay in me 🙂 I’m sorry, I couldn’t resist that last one… ---

"Rick is 20% gay. “You’re a walking, talking, red-blooded hetero guy. Just way too straight for these times, mate!” Uh huh. Glad we got that settled. ---

Straight male checking in: 40% gay. I think it was because I shave my pubes and like to use lubricant in bed. 😉 Happy ---

By the way, there’s another [gay test](http://test.thespark.com/gaytest/)at [TheSpark.com](http://TheSpark.com) that’s a little more in-depth. On the Spark’s gay test I came up 32% gay. Happy ---

40%. I’m a “straight-laced girlie-girl with just a little of my butch side popping out”. Damn that butch, it keeps popping out. :: stuffs butch back in:: ---

Glad I read **JohnBckWLD’s** post. That meter going to 100% might have made me wonder too. As it turns out, DT, a red-blooded hetero guy, checks in at 20%. ---

I’m 26% gay. “Loosen up, my straight mate, these days women like a man with some softer edges to grab onto.” On the Spark, I’m 31% gay, so at least it’s consistent. Problem is, on their ‘Gender Test’, I was 86% woman… so I guess I’m just a lesbian trapped in a male’s body 😉 ---

30% gay. Hmmm. I’ll ask my girlfriend to give me a gay rating, and post it, OK? 🙂 ---

You are 77% GAY! The typical gay-man is only 51% gay! That one was from the Spark. I think I like that one better. ---

26% on the first test, 34% on the Sparc test. I’m hetero, but I thought I would’ve scored I little gayer than that. I don’t really consider myself a raging ball of testosterone. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/gay-test/124195.md?page=2)
