Actually, I'm linking to this partly because I think some folks might like to see the Klein Grid and how it's similar and different from the Kinsey scale, and this is a nifty and easy way to do so.

Klein Sexual Orientation Grid


I scored an average of 3.14

01 2 3 4 5 6
HeterosexualBisexualHomosexual

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.

I'm not sure about the use of "homosexual" when applied to emotional attachments. Most of my friends are women, have always been women. I bond better with women. I am not, however, attracted to them in any sexual way. I just tend to find them more congenial social companions than men. Ergo, describing me as "more than incidentally homosexual" is false.
