The answers for each question are numbered. Add the answer number for each of your chosen answers to get a score from 3 to 10. This questionnaire is most accurate if the scores from you and your twin’s results are added together to get a score from 6 to 20.
A combined score of 6 to 13 indicates you and your twin would be monozygotic.
A combined score of 14 to 20 indicates you and your twin would be dizygotic.
Using the combined score from you and your twin’s results has a 93% chance of indicating your true zygosity. If you would like to confirm your zygosity we recommend a DNA zygosity test.
Using your answer score without adding your twin’s score won’t be as accurate but it will still provide an indication of your zygosity.
An individual score of 3 to 6 indicates you and your twin would be monozygotic.
An individual score of 7 to 10 indicates you and your twin would be dizygotic.
