BDSMtest… or any other test for the lifestyle Article in comments |
||||
|
I see so many people posting the results of their BDSMtest, or suggesting that novices take the BDSM test, so I thought I’d give my view of what this and other tests actually tell you when you take it and what they tell you when you look at someone else’s test scores. And yes, I have taken the test…. Multiple times. First, when you take the test, especially as a novice, if you are absolutely honest with your answers, it will tell you whether you are Dominant, submissive or a switch. It will tell you a few kinks you lean towards. It can even tell you how far you lean towards a role or a kink. These answers will tell you what type of partner you should be looking for. Second, what it WON’T tell you, is that the results are any guarantee, especially as a novice. Once you actually TRY the role or kinks, you may find that your answers were part of a fantasy and they don’t really suit you. Or you may find that how you lean for a role or a kink isn’t quite so strong or weak. It won’t tell you who you can trust, or respect. Why? Because the test is subjective. If you take it multiple times you can get multiple results depending on how you are feeling about the answers each day, and so which little circle you click on. Even if you are 100% honest and sure of your answers, you can get results that don’t fit you. As an example, I’ve never role played or have any interest in role play in a dynamic or scene, but my test scores consistently say I do to some degree. Why? That’s the way the test is set up. Some questions can be interpreted differently by different people and some questions actually have duel meanings, probably to keep the number of questions from running into the hundreds. Sacrificing accuracy for convenience. This all leads to what it means when you read someone else’s score. Absolutely NOTHING. Yes, that is an opinion. But I will tell you why. You have no idea if the person was honest with the test answers, how many times they took the test to get the answers they did and most importantly… IF THEY MANIPULATED THE TEST ANSWERS TO GET THE DESIRED SCORES. Yes, you can manipulate the test to get whatever scores you want. Of course that is called cheating or lying. And you can’t tell by just reading the scores. Well you can guess. If a score looks too good to be true, it probably is. And obviously, someone that lies on the test just to get impressive scores, is not going to be an honest, trustworthy partner. So my advice when taking the test and looking at other people’s results, is take them with a grain of salt. While they can help you learn what role and kinks might be right for you, it’s not assured. And it WILL NOT tell you if you can trust the person whose results you are looking at. Manipulating results is for only two reasons. To match up better with a wider variety of people and to be boastful. And each reason I not a good outcome for YOU as you look for a partner. Earlier I said I’ve taken the test multiple times. I’ve gotten an honest result and I’ve gotten results with mostly 100% scores in all the categories I chose to get them in. I’ve even gotten reverse 100% scores showing I’m a submissive rather than a Dominant. All by manipulating the answers to get the desired results. So be careful when you view other people’s results. You really DON’T know what you are looking at. © 1/25/23 Ronald Dirienzo

Like rondiri said, I also do not take any of the BDSM test as factual basis of the person that filled it out. I think the test, as an absolute, are absolutely unreliable and become very inconsistent due to the different ways each person interprets the questions. The only person that would take the results as qualified would have to be as unqualified as the test itself.

i have not taken a "BDSM Test" but i have taken "the Kink Test." And answered all the questions honestly. (Aye. There's the rub. Does everyone answer honestly? Or do they give "fantasy answers?" "Ooo... THAT sounds SO exciting!") The results are posted in my profile and my Blog. And i agree with all of them except the "63 percent slave" rating. i can roll play as a slave for a short time, but i really do not have a slave mentality. i am sexually subservient for "Real Men" but i could never be someone's slave because outside of sex i am WAY too independent minded. So, as Ron says, take the results with a grain of salt, and read the rest of a person's profile (and hopefully Blog) to see it it is all consistent. Too many profiles are full of contradictions. i never trust those ones. My "gurl name" is Kate Coxuker. It is who i am and what i do.

i just took a "BDSM Test." And i posted the results (with comments) in my blog. The negative (zero percent) ratings were all spot on. Most of the others were questionable. So, my evaluation is: When answered honestly, the BDSM test is valuable to find out what a person will NOT do/enjoy. But not so good for anything else.  And, as i said above, Honesty is the key. Give truthful answers not expressions of one's fantasies. If you haven't done it in real life, do not answer as if you have.  My "gurl name" is Kate Coxuker. It is who i am and what i do.

I took the bdsm test as a neophyte and was presently surprised on how spot on the results were. But now after a few years I can agree that, if you take that test honestly it really serves as just a guide on what you may enjoy on the surface. Let’s take for instance my results that show I am 100% Massochist yet that is not what defines me as a submissive. There is such a wide range of masochism from light play to heavy bottoms and or mental masochism. As you stated, it really is just a starting point for newbies and the more you learn, explore and know yourself, the easier it is to negotiate in a safe manner. Thank you Sir for another excellent post that opens the door for commentary to educate those new to the lifestyle.
