OBSERVATORY

Observatory

A place to peek at how everyone’s kinks are spread out. No individual results here — only overall shares, refreshed once a day. That is as voyeuristic as it gets.

Where things stand

0

Collecting data (0 so far — the measured distribution is published at 1,000)

Until we reach 1,000, the “rarity” on result pages uses theoretical values.

Last updated: October 30, 2026

Few people sit in the middle

Look at a single axis and one person in two is near the middle (the central half of everyone). Add more axes, and the share who are near the middle on every one of them halves each time.

Near the middle on all four axes? In theory, only one person in sixteen. Most people lean clearly to one side somewhere — so the person who insists they are “totally vanilla” may actually be the rare one.

Real people do not always spread out the way theory says, and the axes can move together a little. That is why, once we have 1,000 responses, rarity switches from theory to the measured distribution.

Share of people “near the middle” (theoretical)

“Near the middle” means falling in the central half of everyone on that axis, assuming the axes are unrelated.

Share of each of the 16 kink types

Share of each Outer kink type (measured).

Published once there are more than 1,000 valid responses.

Share of each Outer–Inner gap

Among people who also answered the Inner-face questions, the share of each gap pattern (measured).

Published once more than 1,000 people have answered the Inner-face questions (– so far).

How the data is handled

  • Only results from people who agreed to statistical use are counted.
  • Responses flagged by quality checks (very fast answers, long runs of the same answer) are excluded.
  • Retakes from the same device are not counted.
  • Only results at full-test precision are used (quick-test results are left out).
  • Deleted results drop out from the next update.
  • Only aggregate shares and counts are published, refreshed once a day around 18:00 UTC.

What is your kink type?

From ordinary personality questions, we expose your Outer face (the play style others see) and your Inner face (the craving you keep to yourself) on the same axes. Holding the rope or tied up in it? Doing the teasing or begging for it? Adults only (18+), free, no sign-up, about 3 minutes for the quick test.

SM Test is adult entertainment that openly covers BDSM, fetishes and play. It is not available to anyone under 18.

We write about toys, rope, dirty talk and teasing at the level of an adult how-to guide (no depictions of sex itself). Results are not a medical or psychological diagnosis, just play for consenting adults.
