This amuses me

textualdevianceI think I took The Spark's Gay Test ages ago, but I figured I'd play with it a little and see what it gave me:
Taking the test as a straight female, I came out as 70% gay
As a lesbian, I'm 77% gay.
As a gay man, I'm 59% gay
As a straight man, I'm 54% gay
All of those, apparently, are considerably more gay than the average person of that orientation who took the test. I guess I must be pretty gay. ;)
Looking at the way the test is constructed, though, they obviously have gender identity and behavior confounded, and so it's pretty clear that the higher numbers as a woman v. lower numbers as a man are due to having a mostly-masculine gender expression. It'd be interesting to see the statistics if they split those two things out. I should make my own test like that one of these days.
