    Has anyone else taken the Kinsey Test and mean told they failed? I just did. They said it means either I answered questions wrong or I'm very unusual. I didn't think I was that unusual. Anyways has this happened to anyone else?

    Where did you go to take this test? The one I took told me I was a 5 out of 6.

    No, but I messed around with it, as in, (I can barely remember) I answered so.ething about attraction to the same sex AND opposite sex, plus a few more. I don't know how you could've failed it though. ._.

    Also, I'm Kinsey 5.

    Its the kinsey scale, not a test. Its just a scale of numbers based on the degree to which you're attracted to men and women. Not a very good one. But the point is, a test is no better than telling you that than you are. You like women? You're a six. No secret test mechanics are needed.

    Basically, don't think that test has any legitimacy. You know what your sexuality is.

    After answering honestly, I scored a six. If you answered honestly, I don't see how you could fail.

    Well, the test I took had an option for "failing" meaning the couldn't determine what number you were.

    You probably just didn't answer a particular question, unknowingly.
    Try it again and see what happens.

    But how do u know its a legitimate test? I thought there was just a Kinsey scale.

    0 Exclusively heterosexual
    1 Predominantly heterosexual, only incidentally homosexual
    2 Predominantly heterosexual, but more than incidentally homosexual
    3 Equally heterosexual and homosexual
    4 Predominantly homosexual, but more than incidentally heterosexual
    5 Predominantly homosexual, only incidentally heterosexual
    6 Exclusively homosexual
    X Non-sexual

    The Kinsey scale is really for your own personal rating. You can't 'fail' it :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

    It's probably just some test that someone made up. At the very least though they used proper grammar and didn't ask any questions that had nothing to do with it (For example what is your favorite color?)...

  12. I took a test for it and scored a 3, but that's because I haven't had the luxury of experimenting with a guy yet, so I wasn't able to answer some of the questions properly. In reality, I'm probably a 4 or possibly even a 5 at the most. I've always liked boobs, but I'm "meh" about vaginas. Dicks on the other hand... lol. All I know is that if I did get to experiment with a guy, I would definitely be "bottom"

    The first time i took a kinsey style test i got a 2
    The next i got a 4
    and i seem to keep getting 3's or 4's
    There is a legitimate scale yes, and it is based on your self, but i think the tests really do help the person taking them as to establish themselves
    My guess is you didn't answer a question, or it's not a very good test

    Wonderful, that silly thing rated me as X. I have a long and lonely life ahead of me, it seems. >.<

    My girlfriend "failed" that one. We decided that meant she was just an exceptionally interesting person. I've never taken that test seriously, so I can't say for myself.

    I took it, I got a 2.999..... (mathematically equivalent to a 3 XD)

    Uh. Okay. Now I'm kinda curious about the failed option.
    1. You didn't answer a question/made some error in answering one
    2. Picked two answers that contradicted each other
    3. You are asexual (where WOULD that go on the scale?)
    4. Website glitch?
    5. The test had a ton of stupid questions that didn't make sense and just shouldn't be taken seriously.

    Okay, well, that's all I've got...
