Default Kinsey Scale Quiz?

Does anyone know of an online quiz to gives you where you fall on the Kinsey scale? I have read the descriptions, but don't quite know where I would fall. I see some of you have posted your Kinsey scale number, so I was curious.

TIA!

I got a 3.

Meh, I am unsure if I am really bisexual or just gay.

It's really short though, I am looking for another.

I'm pretty sure a quiz's score won't give an accurate answer.

This =/

The point of the Kinsey scale is supposed to be so that you can rate yourself over time.

That being said, the quiz gave me a 4 back when I took it at another 5's request. I didn't really think the questions were well-worded nor the results well-conceived. Just me though, if you think it will work, go for it :P

I prefer to just subjectively rate myself. Besides, some of the questions on those generic online tests I cannot answer yet.

Yeah....I took the "Accurate Kinsey Scale Test" on there....it consisted of one question with seven possible answers.
1. Completely straight
2. Straight, but with some experience
3. Mostly Straight but with more than incidental experiences
4. Completely Bisexual
5. Mostly Gay
6. Gay
7. Completely Gay

Wow....how accurate. And I scored a six on the scale because I answered completely gay >_> I'm so in awe of the accuracy.

So I found a bunch of resources in the end, including an online quiz for the Klein Sexual Orientation Grid.

The results were really interesting (to me, lol):

Kinsey: 4.5, i.e. More lesbian than bisexual
Klein: Past Heterosexual, Present Homosexual

I'd say the results say the same thing and are accurate. WOOT.

I don't need a damned test anyway. If I'm attracted to someone then I'm attracted to them. I can see where a test would be fun, like at a party, or if you're still in the questioning stage, but they aren't for me.

I took the two sexuality tests I saw first (neither of them used the Kinsey scale). I was disappointed in how the test that advertised itself in being created by real gays judged orientation mostly by stereotypes. I still got "gay" as a result, but I dislike and wouldn't trust the test.

Then I took the Sesame Street character quiz. I'm Kermit the Frog.

According to that quiz, I am bi/slightly gay. Please. I definately lean towards girls. I didn't expect it to be accurate though.

I got the same result. I'd say its pretty accurate!
However, no online quiz can tell you your sexuality as accurately as you can to yourself

Hahaha. That's what I got on that quiz as well. I suppose that may be accurate? Some of the questions didn't apply to me though. Lol. Eh. I don't really care. I'd rather just go with whatever happens. (:
