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."

I bet you don't take Cosmo quizzes either. ; ).

Honestly, I take most of these things to try and measure what kind of slant they have. So in a way, I'm testing the test.

By my standards of course.

[lakeman]

It should be Homo nauseated

I rated a 64. I hope the PC nazi's don't break down my door some night.

2   -   Your score rates you as "light-in-the-loafers."

I thought the "AIDS is punishment from God" question would put me squarely on the Homophobe side of things. *shrug*

[napscoordinator]

I would get 100 on that test for sure.

[Constitution Day]

Thath just fabulous!

The quiz asked about "homosexuals," not "child molesters." The existence of child molesters bothers me. The existence of homosexuals does not. How would you feel if the quiz, same exact questions, asked about gun-owners, and a leftist responded to you by replacing "gun owners" with "murderers"?

You know I have seen some of those stickers too. I hate that, but really hate the Bush basher ones more.

I have to admit I do like the one's that say "My son beats up your honor student at such and such a school" I just get a kick out of that. I know it is wrong, but it is just so funny to me.

Cosmo? Well....I do occasionally take one of those "Which Lord of the Rings Character are You?" quizzes over on Knowledge is Power. Somehow I always end up as "Gimli", even when the quiz has nothing to do with LOTR. (Still trying to figure that one out.) Maybe that's why I'm afraid to take this quiz. Dwarves eating puddin'. It's just not right!

[TChad]

Homoaverse not homophobic.

I scored 37.

[Skooz]

"You're postively Flaming!!! Please call me at 504-555-5555"


Uh oh.

[subterfuge]

1. How do you feel about wearing a lavender shirt?

2. How much do your loafers weigh?

3. Are you a fan of showtunes?

4. Do you wax your chest?

5. Do you prefer the ballet or watching women's volleyball?

Are these the types of questions the test asks?

61- I'm "homophobic". Waaah.

[Pit1]

My score was 58 and I'm a "homophobe". So what?

[Russ_in_NC]

I was a 29. They don't seems to bather me either. As I said in another thread/post, they only bother me when they throw it in my face or my families face; ie if I were at Disney and half the part had men kissing other men .... ewwwwwww... talk about your gross out factor ...I would be upset for both myself and me children

[WinOne4TheGipper]

Yep.

[x5452]

Homosexuality is immoral behavior that hurts those involved and their families.

How often do you figure child molestors honestly insist that it was mutual consent? Or that they're really in love?

Further both child attraction and homosexual attraction of psychological illnesses.

"69 - Your score rates you as "homophobic.""

I like to think of myself as "normal", thank you very much!

[RockinRight]

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

In his 1996 study of 64 white, male college students, Dr. Henry Adams classed 29 participants as "non-homophobic." Their mean score was 30.48. This is not conclusive, however. Dr. Adams, the researcher who helped develop this scale, writes that "a major difficulty of this area of research is in defining and measuring homophobia." Elsewhere, he cautions: Since there is no universally accepted definition of homophobia, the scales currently in use may not measure all aspects of homophobia.
