Sexual Orientation (Klein's method this time)

[Miaplacidus]

So - I have already done some research on this forum about sexual orientation, then using the Kinsey scale. Now, I'd like to do some research using the Klein Sexual Orientation Grid.

Please take your time and read the instructions. Then post your average below. I'd appreciate it if you posted your personal grid below as well. Posts can be anonymous - but please don't post more than once. This is meant to be a serious investigation.

The instructions and the grid itself can be found here. (http://members.tde.com/ben/kleingrid.html)

Thanks!

http://www.technostud.com/public/newsite/klein.html is an easier way to do it, but you don't get to show everyone the full breakdown.

I'm not a huge fan of the Klein scale for a few reasons. I don't think who you hang out with or lifestyle choices have anything to do with sexuality. Yeah, there are stereotypes, but I think they're just that. Also, the Klein scale is really only accurate for older (and by that I mean like... not teenagers) people who can actually answer all the questions about past activity fully. Younger people can't really say "well, when I was 10, I had this relationship..." since there's little to no... well, sexuality, I guess, at that age. So, anyway, I guess my big deal is with sections E. Social Preference and G. Hetero/Gay Lifestyle of your site, and questions 5 and 7 of my link, as well as the descriptions of past (up to a year ago). However... for fun, I guess...

Average, assuming I did this right is 5.46 (total) although I think a 6 (present only) might be more accurate.

Says I'm a 4, but that's totally nonsense.

[justjoshoh]

I agree wholeheartedly with 24601. There are too many variables in the grid that play an insignificant factor or no factor in sexual orientation.
