I also failed.

[AzyWng]

Nuts, I voted in the poll before I actually took the test!

Uh, how can I revote?

Note: "3   Equally heterosexual and homosexual."

[hops]

I failed.

I also failed.

0/10 not gay enough

[TheBiggerFish]

What the spork, B12, how are we all failing this badly at this?

[Orange Wizard]

Odds are the test is crap.

... Yeah, I'm gonna go with that.

Test is far from being perfect, though, and I personaly find it a bit silly, but apparently I bork'd it.

Spoiler: In the least, they're able to be detailed about it that anyone can understand its internal reliability and validity :P (click to show/hide)

I like that last sentence of "If you think the test is wrong, it is.[...]"

Y'all aren't failing. The test is (failing to measure what characteristics it was built to measure).

[TheBiggerFish]

I know, 'twas a joke.  ;P

[Culise]

Non-sexual, here.  The test isn't that impressive, though, and I personally think the Kinsey scale has more merit insofar as it served as a challenge to traditional binary notions of sexuality than in its particulars of how it portrayed it as a single-axis sliding scale with asexuality off to one side.

[MetalSlimeHunt]

I don't know why it even comes out as failed. None of my answers at least were contradictory.

I think the issue with the test is that it doesn't work too well on sapioromantic nerds.

I think the issue with the test is that it doesn't work too well on sapioromantic nerds.

The issue is also that online tests really lack balancing, and context, and many other factors that actually make it..."work."
Two measures like reliability and validity--a test can be valid, but not reliable.  For a test to be reliable, it also needs to be valid.
The linkie there isn't matching up with any of these because of how...lacking it is.

That, and we're using a very, very old scale.

E: But it is passing fun! I think!

I like that word.

Indeed.

[Orange Wizard]

Maybe we should make a new sexuality scale. It can be two-dimensional, like the political leaning test.

[TheBiggerFish]

...

Why not.

Let's do this thing.
