Check out this Home Body Fat Test that is supposed to be pretty accurate - but is way off my WW scale.
Home Body Fat Test
I found this very interesting:

*The bones of African-Americans tend to be dense and so they sink easily in water. On the other hand, the bones of Asians are light and porous so they tend to float. To allow for these differences, healthy African-Americans should have a lower percent body fat than Asians and Caucasians, while Asians should have a higher percent body fat than African-Americans and Caucasians.
