We already played this game.  
I’m 29% gay, which is a surprise to me. I thought I was straight.

14% gay.  
Apparently every one of the 99,302 submissions before me were all more gay than that.

I’m not sure what to make of all this…

38%. One [ahem] incident pushed me above the average. The same incident that muddied up my slut score on another test.

That was a bandsaw?

</div>

35% checking in. Though I’ve always been straight, that sort of brought home how it seems pretty marginal, I might take the test again to open up the playing field a bit more 😃

</div>

I was 15% gay. And since there were 2 other people with the same percentage and one person less than that, it seems that you are the only person less gay than me.

25% here. Would my score have been higher or lower if I’d chosen ‘bandsaw’ instead of ‘jigsaw’?

Twenty five I could have lived with. Where did I screw up?

43%. Hmmm…

Just because I’m neat, enjoy decorating my home, and am a bit of an ass-man… doesn’t mean I like penis. 😃

36% I’m more gay than the average woman my age (30%). (Wouldn’t my husband be surprised?) 6% here or there doesn’t seem like any big deal to me. Is it a big deal?

26% gay

And I’d hate to think they were weighting the tool question too much. I got it right, by the way :).

And re: the “which girl would you rather…” question - on my test from left to right there was a hot brunette, a severe-ish redhead, a Rupaul, and a blonde. Did we all (straight males) have the same pictures to choose from, or is it different every time you take the test? (I could take the test again, but I don’t have time right now).
