    Default Homophobia Quiz

    In 1996, as part of his study on homophobia, Dr. Henry Adams and his colleagues at the University of Georgia developed their own "Homophobia Scale" by modifying scales used by other researchers in earlier studies. It's a 25-item questionnaire "designed to measure your thoughts, feelings and behaviors with regards to homosexuality." The instructions stressed: "It is not a test, so there are no right or wrong answers."

    16 - Your score rates you as "high-grade 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, however, placing most of the men outside of this sub-group. Dr. Adams reported that he had difficulty finding heterosexual men whose scores ranked them as high-grade non-homophobic

    I think I'm carbon-based and obsessive-compulsive too, but I suppose those are for another quiz.

    16....but I don't know what the scale is. It's not a very well designed test. I wonder if it's psychometrically valid...

    how 'homophobic' are you? Weigh your attitudes and beliefs about homosexuals on the Homophobia Scale (below) and see how you rank.

    I agree with CO, this test was pretty weak. Who the hell would admit to being homophobic? "If I discovered a friend was gay I would end the friendship". You may say "no" now until it actually happens, or may think "yes "but not admit it.

    The other problem is some of the Qs were ambiguous: "I have damaged property of a gay person, such as "keying" their car."" A gay guy could be like "yeah and the cheating bitch deserved it too".

    Also, some of the questions were just too vague. "Gay people deserve what they get". Which would be...? Doesn't everyone deserve what they get, esp if it's positive? Like a gay doctor deserves to get paid?

    I was kinda torn on the question of whether or not I try to find out if someone is gay or straight. If it's a girl, and I think she's hot, I'll try to find out if she's gay or not. It's completely confusing, because by trying to find out, I'm adding points to the "homophobic" side.

    Eh...I don't get it.

    I just don't understand what the scale is. Where is the spectrum? It seems that everyone who's taken the test is a non-homophobe...not that that's a bad thing...but, what, exactly is this trying to prove/disprove?

    I just do not believe in legal-gay marriage.

    I do find it odd that hitting someone and believing what they do is immoral are equally bad things. I believe cheating on your taxes is immoral and I would never hit or call them vile names either. Also, if a person who was gay called another gave person "queer or faggot" (to quote the test) would that make them homophobic?

    I scored a 42 regular non-homophobic.

    But I did take the test for the 2nd time and I was a smean and Christian as I could be and scored a 92, High grade homophobic.

    The lower #'s mean you aren't in the least sacred of gays.

    The midrange #'s mean you have no preferance either way.

    The high #'s mean you hate and are scared of gays.

    Hope that helps to decipher the test a little better.

    I think this test is more about maturity than Homophobia. I rated as 17 Highgrade Non Homo Phobic.

    If was given this test when I was in High School or in My 20's I'd probally be rated a High Grade Gay Bashing Homo Phobic.
