The Kinsey Scale

The Kinsey Scale
Drs. Alfred Kinsey, Wardell Pomeroy, and Clyde Martin developed the Heterosexual-Homosexual Rating Scale—more commonly known as “The Kinsey Scale.” First published in Sexual Behavior in the Human Male (1948), the scale accounted for research findings that showed people did not fit into exclusive heterosexual or homosexual categories.

Creating the scale
The Kinsey team interviewed thousands of people about their sexual histories. Research showed that sexual behavior, thoughts, and feelings towards the same or opposite sex were not always consistent across time. Instead of assigning people to three categories—heterosexual, bisexual, and homosexual—the team used a seven-point scale. It ranges from 0 to 6 with an additional category of “X.”

Rating | Description
0 | Exclusively heterosexual
1 | Predominantly heterosexual, only 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, only incidentally heterosexual
6 | Exclusively homosexual
X | No socio-sexual contacts or reactions
People at “0” report exclusively heterosexual / opposite sex behavior or attraction. Those at “6” report exclusively homosexual / same-sex behavior or attraction. Ratings 1–5 are for those who report varying levels of attraction or sexual activity with either sex. In the original Kinsey Report studies, the X category designated the group who reported no socio-sexual contacts or reactions in their interviews.
“The living world is a continuum in each and every one of its aspects.”
- Sexual Behavior in the Human Male (1948)
An official Kinsey “test” does not exist, which is contrary to popular belief and many tests across the web. The original Kinsey research team assigned a number based on a person’s sexual history.
Data gathered from the Kinsey interviews has been digitized. The Kinsey Institute makes all related material, including the original notes, available to qualified researchers who demonstrate a need to view them. The institute also allows researchers to use statistical software, such as PSPP or SPSS, for data analysis.
Sexual Behavior in the Human Male (1948) and Sexual Behavior of the Human Female (1953) are known collectively as the Kinsey Reports. Together, they sold nearly a million copies and were translated in 13 languages. The Kinsey Reports are associated with a change in public perception of sexuality and considered part of the most successful and influential scientific books of the 20th century.
The Kinsey Scale does not address all possible sexual identities. The Klein Sexual Orientation Grid and the Storms Scale have stepped in to further define sexual expression.
The Klein Sexual Orientation Grid, developed by Fritz Klein, features seven variables and three situations in time: past, present, and ideal. The Storms Scale, developed by Michael D. Storms, plots eroticism on an X and Y axis. This allows for a much greater range of descriptions.
Kinsey, Storm, and Klein are three of more than 200 scales to measure and describe sexual orientation.
“Many persons do not want to believe that there are gradations in these matters from one to the other extreme.”

Our sexuality is an integral part of who we are. How do you know if you are gay, lesbian or straight? Many of us have
wondered. Klein Sexual Orientation Grid Test is designed to provide a graphical representation of one's sexual
orientation. The test can be applied to men and women, and offers orientation placement on scales from heterosexual
to homosexual, similar to the Kinsey scale.
The Klein Sexual Orientation Grid is a system to describe an individual’s sexual preferences in a more
detailed way. It was introduced by Dr. Fritz Klein (1932-2006) in the first edition of his 1978 book The Bisexual
Option. Previously, the one dimension Kinsey scale was used to describe the sexual orientation of the
person. The founders of the Kinsey scale call it a Homosexual-Heterosexual
Scale . This is because it considers a more fluid definition of sexual and romantic orientation than
labeling someone as heterosexual, bisexual, or gay. But the criticism arose on Kinsey Scale because of its
Two-dimensional property.
To overcome that, Klein developed a multidimensional grid for describing sexual orientation. The Klein grid
investigates sexual orientation in the past, the present, and in the idealized future with respect to seven factors
each, for a total of twenty-one values.
Sexual Orientation is a term used to describe a person’s pattern of emotional, romantic, and sexual
attraction to people of a particular gender(male or female). Sexuality is not just for reproduction
purposes; it is way beyond what we think. It defines how we see ourselves and how we relate to other humans we are
living with. Sexuality is divided into five categories,
Your sexual orientation is determined by many factors like environmental, emotional, hormonal, and biological
factors. Whatever your sexual orientation may be, it doesn’t mean you are mentally or physically abnormal in
any way. Knowing who you are from inside, what your emotional preferences are, nothing to hide or feel wrong about
it. A sexual orientation test helps you to know your sexuality. Klein Sexual Orientation Grid is widely used
by people to test their sexuality easily.
The Kinsey scale is the base for any sexual orientation scale widely available now, but there are various
limitations noted in the method over time. Any scale has its own positives and negatives, so the KSOG is
developed to overcome the limitations of the Kinsey scale.
1. The first limitation of the Kinsey scale is that it doesn’t include the possible sexual orientation in a
relationship. It just divides it into straight or gay, but what about a bisexual or asexual person, where
he comes in the graph. This is where a KSOG score; is framed for all types of sexuality.
2. Gender is not Binary. Kinsey scale measures the attraction towards opposite or same-sex or gender as the
person under assessment. It completely excludes the person who comes under the other gender identity than
the usual binary gender.
3. The Kinsey scale doesn’t differentiate the romantic attraction and sexual attraction. But that’s not true;
