How will I ever tell.... Oh, right. Everyone already knows.

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

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.

Take the quiz

I think the lifestyle questions are weird though. I mean there have been times I hung out almost exclusively with black people that didn't make me part black on a scale.


The ideal part is a little odd too since who knows? I don't see myself as ever being in a homosexual relationship really but I never thought I'd live in Cleveland either and I have a really strong meteorological preference on that one. I'm willing to bet on the immediate future but long term? I can't think that far. I might be Hugh Beaumont or I might be living with four eskimos in the unfashionable end of Mars.

I had about the same score (1.38, I think). This surprised me not at all.
