    The Klein Sexual Orientation Grid (KSOG) offers a comprehensive tool for understanding sexual orientation. This validated instrument accounts for the dynamic, multi-variable nature of sexual attraction, emotions, and behavior.

    Area of Science:

    • Psychology
    • Human Sexuality Research

    Background:

    • Sexual orientation research is hindered by imprecise definitions of terms like heterosexual, homosexual, and bisexual.
    • A need exists for a nuanced tool to explore the complexities of human sexual attitudes, emotions, and behavior.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To introduce and validate the Klein Sexual Orientation Grid (KSOG) as a tool for assessing sexual orientation.
    • To address the limitations in defining and researching sexual orientation.

    Main Methods:

    • The Klein Sexual Orientation Grid (KSOG) was developed, comprising seven dimensions of sexual orientation.
    • Subjects rated each dimension for their past, present, and ideal self.
    • Data was collected from subjects completing the KSOG in Forum Magazine.
