Klein Sexual Orientation Grid
I scored an average of 5.67
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.

The Multidimensional Scale of Sexuality
According to my answers, it is likely that I identify as
Homosexual with some heterosexuality.
Complete set of results
Homosexual with some heterosexuality: 3Homosexual: 2Heterosexual: 1Past heterosexual, currently homosexual: 1Sequential bisexual: 1Asexual: 0Concurrent bisexual: 0Heterosexual with some homosexuality: 0Past homosexual, currently heterosexual: 0
Information
The Multidimensional Scale of Sexuality was devised by Larry Kurdek, B. Berkey and T. Perelman-Hall. It is an extension of the Klein Sexual Orientation Grid, recognising that sexual identities can change over time, people can identify with more than one sexual identity, and that asexuality is a valid sexual identity. The Multidimensional Scale of Sexuality was published in the "Journal of Homosexuality" in 1990.
