If it was possible to tell who is gay just by the way they sit, I assure you, a lot more of us would have been murdered by our parents or peers by now.

Can it tell if someone is kinky?

[Riedquat]

I usually sit in a chair with my legs crossed and my hands in my lap, and rarely if ever talk about sports. Does that make me gay?

Seriously, the only kind of behavior that can tell you someone's gay for sure is if they are visibly hitting on another dude. That's...that's how sexuality works, you guys.

"For sure" and "probably" or "possibly" are quite far apart. For the first you're right. For the last the idea that better results can be achieved than simply by blind guessing doesn't seem completely implausible.

It might be worth noting that getting a 60% - 80% accuracy rate when half the subjects are gay may not translate to a solid gaydar in a population where only a few percent are gay. You might get a lot more false positives in real life.

"Some researchers believe that accuracy could potentially be even higher in the real world, where people usually have more cues and information to go off of compared to lab studies."

Not that there will necessarily be more false positives, of course.

I'm not interested in paying $40 on the paper to see the criteria or size of sample. So there is always a matter of sample size and how testing was conducted, especially with social sciences where often the study group is woefully small.
