This is a "legitimate" test in-so-far as it was developed by researchers at the University of Georgia. It was designed to test the theory that homophobia is a manifestation of repressed homosexual desire. The researchers reported difficulty finding heterosexual men who were "high-grade non-homophobic."

Dammit! I was trying to find that through Image Google and failed! Gettin' rusty...

[lilylangtree]

Thanks. I did hit a three once and I did strongly agree that homosexuality was wrong.

[JamesP81]

They didn't have a space for "I don't care"

One of several reasons why it's not a good test, not to mention the whole concept of homophobia is flawed anyway.

[Thrusher]

Do gay people ever have to take tests about being heterophobic?

[x5452]

HomoPHOBIC suggest some sort of fear of homosexuals. I don't have that any more than I have a fear of rapists.

Happily heterocentric.

[sure_fine]

any tests I have seen before about gays usually comes up the same, you are ether gay, or homophobic

[Petronski]

I scored 45, but I doubt their definition of the term "homophobia" is very accurate (lit.: "same fear").

[darkwing104]

Not that I just don't care for tests about what people do in the privacy of thier own home...In public, Well that is another story all together.

[Noachian]

This is a "legitimate" test ...

I don't know how "legitimate" this test is, but I scored an 85 (high phobic) on what seems to be common sense questions.

[Freedom_no_exceptions]

My score: "27 - non-homophobic." Lowest here so far. So am I part of the "homosexual agenda" if their mere existence doesn't bother me as much as it does others?

[magslinger]

Christophobes continue their wave of violence-inducing hate speech....

I deal with Christophobes and Homosexuals in the same manner, I pray for them.

1. It will do them some good.

2. It lets me feel all superior.

3. It irritates them.

Yes, I know I have some wrong reasons, but at least I'm doing the right thing.

42 - Your score rates you as "non-homophobic."

I put down that I 'strongly agree' homosexuality is immoral and I would not room with one. But I 'strongly disagree' with keying cars and hitting them...so I guess I'mm OK!!! I can't wait to tell all my liberal friends.

[G.Mason]

"My rating score was 60, apparently I'm "homophobic". Most of my answers were that I don't agree or disagree, and I take that means I usually don't care."

Bingo!

[Gordongekko909]

I don't hate him. I pity the fool.

[Diana in Wisconsin]

50-Your score rates you as "non-homophobic."

Thank Goodness. Now I can go on with my life! I was dying to take a quiz that was stacked to prove I am 100% Politically Correct, and will continue to support the Gay Agenda through my largess! *Rolleyes*

[loreldan]

So do I get some kind of certificate or something that certifies me as 'non-homophobic'?

[edsheppa]

25 - Your score rates you as "simply fabulous."

Just kidding - didn't take the test but this post probably pushes me into 90ish territory

[Billthedrill]

Dang it. I'm queer.

[sailor4321]

I tried "straight' down the middle answers and got 50 --- Non homophobic. Then I went back and answered the first question a strong "yes" and got 52 --- homophobic. Truthful (well, actually I ansered them with a bit more tolerance than I should have) answers got me a score of 60 --- homophobic. Actually, I'm not happy with the idea that you come out either homophobic or non-homophobic. My score of 60 should be evaluated as "straight, red-blooded American male"!

[Old Professer]

I must have done something wrong, I checked totally disagree on every question and it said I was a high-grade non-homophobic; I thought it would say I was totally disagreeable.
