The '''Klein Sexual Orientation Grid''' attempts to further measure [[sexual orientation]] by expanding upon the earlier [[Kinsey scale]] which categorizes sexual history from 0 (exclusively [[heterosexual]]) to 6 (exclusively [[homosexual]]). As a person travels on the scale, they are determined to be "Predominantly heterosexual, more than incidentally homosexual" at interval 2, "Predominantly homosexual, only incidentally heterosexual" at interval 5 and anywhere in between. At the centre, Interval 3 is "Equally Heterosexual and Homosexual". ==Grid== {|class="wikitable" |Variable |Past (entire life up until a year ago) |Present (last 12 months) |Ideal (what would you like?) |- |A - Sexual Attraction: To whom are you sexually attracted? |1 |1 |1 |- |B - Sexual Behaviour: With whom have you actually had sex? |1 |1 |1 |- |C - Sexual Fantasies: About whom are your sexual fantasies? |1 |1 |1 |- |D - Emotional preference: Who do you feel more drawn to or close to emotionally? |1 |1 |1 |- |E - Social preference: Which gender do you socialize with? |5 |5 |3 |- |F - Lifestyle preference: In which community do you like to spend your time? In which do you feel most comfortable? |1 |1 |1 |- |G - Self-identification: How do you label or identify yourself? |1 |1 |1 |} Each of the 21 boxes should contain a value from 1 to 7, categorizing the individual's answers to the questions. For variables A to E these range from 1=Other sex only to 7=Same sex only. For variables F and G these range from 1=Heterosexual only to 7=Homosexual only. Unlike the Kinsey Scale, the Klein grid investigates sexual orientation in three time periods and with respect to seven factors. ==See also== *[[Affectional orientation]] *[[Bisexuality]] *[[Kinsey scale]] *[[The Bisexual Option]] == References == * [[Fritz Klein|Klein, Fritz, MD]].
