[Deja Q]

http://www.okcupid.com/tests/take?testid=5178368906782331535



Moderate Low
You scored 40% Homophobic!
Moderately nonhomophobic. That's good, and still below average. Good you. The average would be 53.

[Starbucks Anarchist]

1. Highly Nonhomophobic - You scored 20% Homophobic!

Wow, pretty good for a straight guy! :D

EDIT: I should mention some of my responses were "No opinion," because the questions were worded somewhat awkwardly -- that's probably why my rating wasn't less then 20%.

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

2. Highly Nonhomophobic-8%

Highly Nonhomophobic
You scored 8% Homophobic!
Highly nonhomophobic. Which is far below the average. Go you!

It probably helps that I'm an out lesbian.

[greekspeak]

10. You scored 16% Homophobic!

And I am an out gay man. I guess I am twice as homophobic as you.

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

33. Eewww...you gay homophobe!

[Onlooker]

3. Highly nonhomophobic

But, I scored 16% homophobic, even though I'm certain I answered all the questions "correctly." After all, I'm gay, and quite comfortable dealing with homosexuals!

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

8. Yeah, I went back through my answers and none could be homophobic

I'm still 8% though. It's weird.

[karlrschneider]

4. Kind of an amateurish "test"...lots of redundant questions

I scored 6 percent...

[Deja Q]

9. No argument there;

I saw where they could have added qualifying questions along with the redundancy (of course, the MMPI and other professional tests also have redundancy); there is an amateur quality to the test.

[LaurenG]

5. Hypnotoad!

Highly Nonhomophobic
You scored 12% Homophobic!
Highly nonhomophobic. Which is far below the average. Go you!

[Deja Q]

13. OhioBlues!

The test asked if I'd feel uncomfortable if a person of the same sex made a pass at me.

The test didn't even ask if I was gay.

I said "yes".

What the test did not even bother to determine was if it's out of homophobia... or being nervous and scared around people in social situations. For me it's the latter; my natural defenses spring up. They've been a survival mechanism but they've also been a detriment.

[LaurenG]

28. I forgot about that

I got caught on the one about my spouse being attracted to a member of the same sex but I would be upset if he was attracted to either sex. I guess it's all in the interpretation.:loveya:

[Deja Q]

36. I'm not homophobic. The questions didn't compensate for every possible

facet within humanity.

And as such the computer misinterpreted the answers.

It's also why I fail those personality profile tests required for getting a job. :D

[SmokingJacket]

50. I would be uncomfortable if ANYONE made a pass at me.

I'm married! :D

16% homophobic, btw.

[Deja Q]

64. Your excuse is better than mine!

:rofl:

[knitter4democracy]

63. I'd be flattered.

Not many flirt with a 32 y.o. mama of two with a mommy belly, glasses, and a serious nerd-aura.

[murielm99]

22. I was at 12% too.

I guess it helps that I have a gay brother, a gay daughter, and some friends I think of as people before I think of them as gay people.

[Tyler Durden]

6. 8%

Pretty good for an old married straight guy.

[sweetheart]

78. ditto

ditto :-)

[atreides1]

7. Not Very

Highly Nonhomophobic
You scored 24% Homophobic!
Highly nonhomophobic. Which is far below the average. Go you!




My test tracked 1 variable How you compared to other people your age and gender:

You scored higher than 52% on Homophobic

[Canadian Socialist]

11. Go me!

4%!

[eallen]

12. 10% homophobic. I would be uncomfortable if my best friend said he is gay.

We've been friends for 26 years. If he told me now that he was gay, yeah, I'd be pissed. You don't keep something like that from your best friend for so long.

:hippie:

[Deja Q]

19. Not necessarily. Some people are murdered for a mere SUSPICION.

I would not be surprised if he's kept his life a secret.

Nor could I blame him. Not one bit.

So don't be pissed. He's got a point of view too. Quite a considerable one at that. :(

[Reader Rabbit]

32. I had problems with that question, too!

I got 10%, but I did not answer "comfortable" to that question. I mean, I've known my best friend since 1985. If I found out she was gay after all these years, then I'd be pretty upset. I mean, I should have either figured it out for myself, or she should/would have told me!

[benburch]

14. ...

Highly Nonhomophobic
You scored 4% Homophobic!

[Nimrod2005]

15. Highly Nonhomophobic

Highly Nonhomophobic

You scored 14% Homophobic!

Highly nonhomophobic. Which is far below the average. Go you!

[Cerridwen]

16. Highly Nonhomophobic - You scored 4% Homophobic!

I don't know where that 4% came in - I'd wager there's built-in homophobia in the test since the test writer him/herself said "everyone has a bit of homophobia in them" with which I disagree wholeheartedly.

But hey, I scored okay anyway.

:D

[idgiehkt]

69. I think it's built in...

that's what I got and I was having homosexual relations while I took it, lol.

Just kidding.

But those questions were really tricky, kind of like that Minnesota mind-fuck test they give you at dept. stores when you apply. You really had to pay attention to the questions and stuff, I had to change my answers after re-reading because I kept getting uncomfortable and comfortable confused.

[LynneSin]

17. Highly Nonhomophobic - 14%

Highly Nonhomophobic
You scored 14% Homophobic!
Highly nonhomophobic. Which is far below the average. Go you!

[hlthe2b]

18. I don't think I was surprised... 12% Very NonHomophobic

Nearly every question about living near, working with, being friends with, going to a gay party or bar as a heterosexual, having someone make an advance, etc., etc., I've already experienced sometime in my life. I think I've already worked out most of any possible conflicts on this one:

12% Very NonHomophobic. pretty ok, for a straight female of my age group.

But... not totally
The only question I had to honestly say I had some qualms was the one where they asked if you would be uncomfortable if I learned that my spouse or partner was attracted to members of his or her sex. In all honesty, I had to say yes. That's reflexive and I don't know how I'd feel if given time to think it through....:shrug:


I think the discussions the past few days about transgender have been revealing though. I'm pretty accepting there too, but, I don't know that I wouldn't score evidence of a few more hangups...

Interesting, while obviously not scientific...

[Deja Q]

23. another reason why bisexuals aren't allowed real happiness.

Too much fear, and that leads to prejudice if that's not there already.

Prejudice leads to fear too. :(

Just because one is attracted to both doesn't mean one will automatically cheat. Life isn't a mirror of Jerry Springer, fortunately. :7

[hlthe2b]

34. I agree, HypnoToad...

I can intellectualize that without problem... Attraction does not equate to action.

I just have to admit a kneejerk reaction, if it came to my own spouse and hopefully only because I've never really thought enough about it to reconcile my feelings on it. On the other hand, I might be sensitive to my spouse being attracted to another female too, depending on the circumstances (and the presence of the "green eyed monster!"). So, I am not sure how much might just be old fashioned jealousy and insecurity, and how much would really reflect any degree of discomfort with respect to homosexuality. Never really thought nor experienced it, so I really don't know...:shrug:


I don't think we are born predjudiced against any group or person. But, as we grow up, I think there is a human tendency to be suspect against those who are different from us. We can work through that over time if we are willing to do so, but the process is facilitated by direct experience, I think.

[nickinSTL]

20. 16%

Highly Nonhomophobic
You scored 16% Homophobic!
Highly nonhomophobic. Which is far below the average. Go you!

[Touchdown]

21. 8%, but since I'm gay, that would be a given.

Now if he had a question about a loud, screaming drag queen groping me at a Bronco's game, my score would be higher.;)

[hlthe2b]

25. Not necessarily... I'm guessing there'd be a lot of "conservative"

homosexuals who might score pretty homophobic.

[Burma Jones]

24. Well, I am a DUer.......

Highly Nonhomophobic
You scored 8% Homophobic!

[Random_Australian]

26. Ugh, at 48% I scored higher than 99% of my age and gender.

That is nothing compared to my IAT scores, which are actually accurate.

BEFORE we start jumping to conclusions, no, I am very pro every right you can think of in the subject; (Well, given that I see no distinction between anyone pretty much - we are after all all human, it would be very strange of me indeed not to), but spending so long in an environment that had specific nasty reactions towards that kind of stuff, it was put on my amygdala that gay = danger. (which means I feel uncomfortable in immediate situations, but if I found out the local pastor was gay I would not care)

It is a subconscious part of the brain, and I do not let it control my political ideas.
Just one of the many things I must fight from my poorly wired subconscious. meh. :shrug:

[Stinky The Clown]

27. 16% - highly non-homophobic

Not bad for an old straight clown :)

[donco6]

29. Ha! 0%. Go figger.

:)

[TahitiNut]

59. Ahhh... the difference between 'comfortable' and 'don't givashit'

:evilgrin:

I'd personally not givashit if my (non-existent) kid's teacher were gay. It'd take something more relevant to cause me 'comfort' - like maybe she was straight, gorgeous, and hot for MY bod. (After all, Latourneau wasn't gay.)

[donco6]

71. Ha! You have a point there.

Now THAT would be comforting.

[goddess40]

30. 16% - and I think that's too high

Highly Nonhomophobic
You scored 16% Homophobic!
Highly nonhomophobic. Which is far below the average. Go you!

Those questions were tricky and I think I must of mis-read something along the way, because I can't imagine that anything I read would bother me, other then my usual initial shyness when I meet new people.

[HeeBGBz]

31. 4% but it's so redundant

The same question was asked about 6 times.

[PFunk]

35. 16%-Highly non homophobic

Not bad for a straigh black guy :D

[bullwinkle428]

37. 14% - highly non-homophobic...I'm not terribly surprised!

:)

[prole_for_peace]

38. Highly nonhomophobice - 16%

Highly nonhomophobic. You scored 16% Which is far below the average. Go you!

i would be upset if my spouse/partner announced they were gay.

[RaleighNCDUer]

39. I think I might have scored well

but when it got to asking for all that real-world information I got paranoid.

I don't need to add to any database on me.

Interesting quiz, however.

[dddem]

84. I'm with you

being a straight married woman, I wasn't too comfortable signing up for a dating service. But I have my 'straight but not narrow' bumper sticker, so I guess I'm pretty much non-homophobic.

[theboss]

40. I love the gays!

But I'm not taking a quiz.

[WinkyDink]

41. I'm not even looking, but the term "homophobia" is a problem for me.

"Phobia" means "fear", not" dislike", "hatred", or anything else.
Are people really being asked if they are "afraid of" gays?

[Maiden England]

42. Highly Nonhomophobic

Yay! Its refreshing to learn one isn't a bigot....

[dogday]

44. Moderate Low You scored 32% Homophobic!

Moderately non-homophobic. That's good, and still below average. Good you. The average would be 53.


Probably cause some of the questions, I answered no comment.. Unless I am put in some of those positions, I don't know what I would do, so I answered as honestly as I could..

[bbernardini]

45. 2%, but I have no idea why.

Shouldn't my years of work in the theater and my love of musical theater negate that 2%? Oh wait, did I just increase my score instead? ;)

[diamondsndust]

46. WOW!!! 2 per cent homophobic... and I'm straight!

Highly Nonhomophobic
You scored 2% Homophobic!
Highly nonhomophobic. Which is far below the average. Go you!

Then again, I've always been a "live and let live" person. I also used to enjoy going to a gay bar with a lesbian friend of mine to watch the drag queen shows. Haven't been in a while though. I remember telling her after the first time I went with her that I was hurt that no one hit on me. She laughed and told me I'd never set off a gaydar because I don't "look gay". I'm 6'3, 275 with long hair, beard, moustache and tattoos... :shrug:

[ProfessorGAC]

47. Got An 8%

Highly nonhomophobic. Not a surprise, i would guess. But, i am a bit baffled how any of my answers would be considered even 1% homophobic.

If a member of my same gender made an advance toward me, and i have no opinion, because i'm straight and married, that counts as homophobia? Huh?
The Professor

[TahitiNut]

61. Yeah ... the difference between 'comfortable' and 'no-opinion' ...

... seems (strangely) to result in the "awarding" of points. Maybe I should feel 'comfortable' if my daughter's/son's male/female teacher is gay so they don't get LaTourneau'd? Dunno. Hell ... my "comfort" would have to do with their teaching skills, not their sexual orientation.

[Fleshdancer]

48. I scored 4% but I don't know why.

:shrug:

[rucky]

49. Are you hitting on me?

16% - Highly nonhomophobic.

[ileus]

[kineneb]

52. musician-

I don't care what they are, as long as they hit the right notes...
scored 99% "non-homophobic"

[sinkingfeeling]

53. I scored 8% homophobic.

[hunter]

54. It seems strange to me so many questions are hypothetical.

The only thing outside my experience so far is if my kids are homosexual or not. If they are, they are not telling yet, but they wouldn't be the first in the family, not by a long shot.

Our everyday family life is affirmative of homosexuality. It's just something that is.

I work with GLBT people, I've visited gay and lesbian bars. If a guy starts flirting with me I take that as a compliment. Our circle of family and friends includes married gay and lesbian couples.

I think it has a lot to do with how one is raised. My background is a little bit Hollywood and San Francisco, so homosexuality was simply part of the neighborhood.

[TahitiNut]

57. I thought that was strange, too. I've often had most of those experiences

The 'would' modality of the questions seemed a bit strange. :shrug:

[JackDragna]

55. Some of these questions are weird.

It's not that I really care about who makes a pass at me, but that I just don't like most people in general. And yes, I would be uncomforable if my boss were a homosexual, because then it'd mean I'd have a boss. Being a homosexual is ancillary.

[TahitiNut]

56. Lac Woebegone - Where all the TahitiNuts are "below average"

Highly Nonhomophobic
You scored 12% Homophobic!

You scored higher than 20% on Homophobic

I suppose I "failed" to answer 'comfortable' on some questions where it's totally irrelevant to me whether a teacher or boss or coworker is homosexual or not. Since it's irrelevant, I have no reason to feel "comforted" or "discomforted" ... unless, of course, I'm more comfortable with non-discriminatory organizations, but that's far more than merely a single specific individual whose sezual orientation says very little about the organization.

Oh well. Since I've been in many of the situations described, I don't really have to imagine - just recall.

[knitter4democracy]

62. 12%

No wonder the other girls in my dorm thought I was weird in college, what with their fear of lesbians in the women's dorm. :eyes:

My mama raised me right--other people's sexuality doesn't mean anything to me personally, and I really don't care. The only reason I got that high was when they asked about my hubby--it would make me uncomfortable if he were highly attracted to anyone else, no matter who it is.

No problems here....Gays don't bother me....to each his/her own I say.

I'm a fag hag with a lesbian sister. I would have been shocked by any other results!

[johnaries]

Of course, I've worked with lots of gays and have had 2 gay bosses (one of them was a former drag queen performer).

I don't give a toss who sleeps with whom as long as you leave kids and animals out of it. Beyond that, it's none of my business.

Edited for clarity.

[adwon]

76. 2%

Probably helped that I've been in many of those situations.

[TommyO]

77. Highly nonhomophobic - 4%

that's a good thing too, I tend to be attracted to other 40-something men, making me very gay!

[GreenPartyVoter]

79. How did you come up 40% homophobic?

[GreenPartyVoter]

80. I came up 28% and it was mainly due to being uncomfy with

the idea of hubby being attracted to other men. (I'm already insecure enough without massively expanding the number of other people he could be attracted to. *l*)
