Harumf. I took this test. Twice.

As a straight woamn, I scored a 43% gay.  
As a gay woman, I scored a 48% gay.

I was kind of bothered by the “Do you shave your _face_?” question…as the answers were “I am Canadian” or “No”. I never noticed Canadian women were especially hirsute, though the ones I know VERY well, do shave their hoo-has bald. (How did the other women answer that question? Am I too stupid for words? Is _face_ a euphemism, in this case? Would my score have changed if I had answered “I am Canadian”? Yes, as a matter of fact, this is bugging me!)

I’m 17% gay, with only 1% straighter than I am. I think that is because I was wearing briefs.

31% gay  
That’s gayer than average for someone of your gender and supposed orientation. The typical straight female is only 30% gay!

57% gay. 10% above average.

Which, for me, is about average.

Make of it what you will.
