2. That's not a very good poll/quiz.
It's a little too "yes/no"-like. I'm hetero and married, but I can totally appreciate the looks of a beautiful man too.

8. Yeah. This one tested me at way more bi than I'd actually consider myself.
It's also all about sex and attraction and zero about love.

I don't see myself ever falling in love with or having a long-term relationship with a woman. My relationships have all been with men. That has to figure in a bit into sexual orientation, doesn't it?

But, boom...I tested 50/50.

6. Only a 12 - that means you're not a perfect gay man
I think 13 was the highest score!

13. I got a nine
Predominantly homosexual, with heterosexual tendencies

which is awkward, since there are no comparison questions. HAve I ever been sexually attracted to a man? yes, but there are about 2 billion more women that I find attractive than men. and yet, that one thing makes me gay? please.

18. no, didn't even get time off work
but I live on the second floor, so it's ok. My poor mom was visiting, all she wanted to do was visit American History before it closes for renovations in September. Sadly, it was closed for all three days she was here. annoying. I have friends who are still off work, though, they say the IRS building may be closed for a month! good times...

I guess that's what you get if you are straight but gayness has occurred to you.

19. This measures catagories, not individuals or self-perception.
However many people there are in the world, there are only two genders. I think a few more degrees would have been good for the quiz. "hardly ever" and would be good to add. One gay dream means I have to answer "sometimes".

22. Mine: Your Mean Sexual Orientation is 5.5
Your Sexual Orientation Range is 9.

"The wider the range, the greater your sexual flexibility and the more choice you have about how to behave sexually."

Well, I'm bisexual - no surprises there. :)

25. The test is a bit flawed.
My score was a 10, but I'm predominantly heterosexual and have never had a long term relationship with a women. If you have ever had an experience with the same sex, it puts you as "homosexual" which seems rather narrow-minded. I'm sorry, but if I were gay, I'd be getting a lot more action with women than I have in my life. I'm slightly bi.

The main reason it's flawed is simply that it only asks about homosexual experiences and nothing about heterosexual experiences.

49. I've always found that very strange about myself.
I've always thought that everyone's at least a little gay. :shrug:

I did that the other test, the one that linked off that site, and I got a 0.5 so I guess in the smallest way...:shrug:

37. 3.5 Hetero here
But I range all the way up to a 5. :wow:

I'm like eyesroll, it lists me as more bi than I really think I am or operate. I would not want a relationship with another woman. I do like the menfolk. ;-) But I can see the appeal of why certain women are atractive.

42. Straight but not narrow
suits me fine. :D

It reminds me. There's another quiz over at the BBC that I took the other day. It measures the gender of your brain on a continuum from female to male.... and interestingly I was at a similar place on that meter too.

I'll see if I can find that test again. It was pretty interesting. It would make a good companion to this one.

I'm hetero, but I have to admit that I find Annie Lenox to be attractive. It's mostly her voice, though, and she does look masculine.

but at least I'm honest with myself.

43. They should have just asked, "Did anyone have to teach you how to wrap
birthday presents?" And "Are you male?"
If the answers are:
Yes, Yes, - straight
No, Yes - gay
Yes, No - gay
No, No - straight
