Klein Sexual Orientation Grid
I scored an average of 2.67
0 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 |
Heterosexual | Bisexual | Homosexual |
Meaning
This result can also be related to the Kinsey Scale:
0 = exclusively heterosexual
1 = predominantly heterosexual, incidentally homosexual
2 = predominantly heterosexual, but more
than incidentally homosexual
3 = equally heterosexual and homosexual
4 = predominantly homosexual, but more than incidentally
heterosexual
5 = predominantly homosexual, incidentally heterosexual
6 = exclusively homosexual
Summary
The idea of this excercise is to understand exactly how dynamic a person’s sexual orientation can be, as well as how fluid it can be over a person’s lifespan. While a person’s number of actual homo/heterosexual encounters may be easy to categorize, their actual orientation may be completely different. Simple labels like “homosexual”, “heterosexual”, and “bisexual” need not be the only three options available to us.
The bar above doesn’t seem to show up properly on my computer - just go by the numbers - 2.67 on the Klein Scale. When I’ve done the Klein Scale before I’ve gotten a similar score - just a wee bit on the hetero side of bisexual.
