(Possibly NSFW) Where do you fall on the Kinsey Scale?

Asked by livelaughlove21 (15724points) June 5th, 2013 from iPhone

For those that don’t know (I know you’re out there), the Kinsey Scale is also known as the Heterosexual-Homosexual Rating scale, and it attempts to rate an individual’s sexuality on a 0–6 scale. The ratings are as follows:

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 – Non-sexual

There are a few online tests with which you can score yourself. Here’s one. I scored my husband first, and he got a 0. Sheesh, so straight he doesn’t even deserve a number. Boring breeder. My results, however, read, ”The test failed to match you to a Kinsey Type profile. Either you answered some questions wrong, or you are a very unusual person.” Well, that’s me…

So, where do you fall on the list, according to this test or another? Do you agree with the score you received? Why or why not?

I think of myself as a 1 or 1.5, but apparently I’m too strange for an integer. ;)

This is just for fun, folks. Let’s keep it light.

According to the test, I’m a 2 (though I’m not entirely sure what it means to be “incidentally” homosexual lol).

Edit: Pardon me, “more than incidentally” homosexual.

I received the same statement as you:

The test failed to match you to a Kinsey Type profile. Either you answered some questions wrong, or you are a very unusual person.

0 – Exclusively heterosexual

But why did it ask me about credit cards?

6 – exclusively homosexual. I don’t find women sexually attractive in any way.

I define it in terms of what I’m attracted to. Since I’m not in any way sexually attracted to women, that means I’m a 6. That doesn’t mean, however, that I would be “disgusted” by straight porn or disgusted by the idea of a naked woman. I’m not repulsed by the opposite gender, just not sexually attracted.

Attracted to women emotionally, sexually, and physically.

Men? I can have sex with men.

Bellatrix's avatar

2 Predominantly heterosexual, but more than incidentally homosexual.

And not remotely surprised.

0 – and I wouldn’t mind pinch hitting for Michael Douglas till his tongue gets better.

LULZ @ “breeder.”

I guess I’m a 5, but I’m open to that changing.

I… don’t know. I don’t talk about it often because I guess I’m not too bothered by it, but I really don’t know what sexuality I am. I know I like men at least and I guess I don’t really want to be bothered with dealing with having a non-mainstream sexuality and having a closet to come out of so I pretty much just seek out men. I think I am attracted to women too and sometimes I think maybe even more than men but I just don’t know. Other times I think I’m nearly asexual. Gah.

I’ll take the test and see what it says.

Edit: It said 3, and when I went back to check what it would say if I changed my answer to the one I was most torn about, it said non-sexual. Gee, thanks survey.

0 without even having to take the test.

Now if Tom Brady were in the room and feeling sad and lonely, it might be a different story…

I got a 2 which is what I would have said. I love men and penises, but I also love women. Honestly a persons personality is generally more important than solely how I view them physically.

glacial's avatar

Let’s just say that my test results did not match where I thought I’d place on the 0–6 list.

Sunny2's avatar

A big 0, which makes me uninteresting to a lot of people here. And that’s okay with me. I’m not here for the sex.

augustlan's avatar

I’m a 2, but not according to that test. I think it’s flawed. I took another one, and it rated me a 2, which is where I expected to be.

0.

I like dick. what can I say?

BhacSsylan's avatar

I got a 2, that sounds about right. I can also see it throwing out false results, though, it’s an extremely basic test.

Also, any else confused by the “I am sexually submissive” question? Seems like a non-sequitor, or random gender essentialism.

I like real penises, not strap ons. lol

JLeslie's avatar

I was an F also. Failed to match me to a number.

Berserker's avatar

The test failed to match you to a Kinsey Type profile. Either you answered some questions wrong, or you are a very unusual person.
Dude what the fuck. :( I took it three times, and on the third try I lied in the answers, but I just keep getting the same results. Is the test broken?

Personally I consider myself bi because I’m attracted to both men and women. More men than women, so maybe not 100% bi? I don’t know how the fuck this shit works. I’ve never fully been with another woman though, so I guess I can’t confirm it. But as far as relationships go, in my head, for me, it makes no difference what gender my partner would be.

downtide's avatar

The test put me at 3 (hardly surprising) though I do vary between 2 and 4.

@Symbeline you’d be a 1 or a 2 depending on how frequently you’re attracted to women.

ucme's avatar

I love to fuck women, well one woman actually, she’d bloody kill me if…yeah, that.
I don’t do tests, but i’m definitely in touch with my feminine side, if trying on the wife’s dresses counts :)

Seek's avatar

The test gave me a 3.

I dunno. I have very little sexual experience with anyone. Just my husband. Yep, I’m boring.

glacial's avatar

”@Symbeline you’d be a 1 or a 2 depending on how frequently you’re attracted to women”

@downtide That’s what I thought!

DigitalBlue's avatar

I got a 3 from the test.

I do feel like I bounce between ⅔/4 on a regular basis, though. I recognize that I go through phases where I am far more drawn to men and sometimes I’m far more drawn to women. It just seems to float back and forth through different periods in my life.

OpryLeigh's avatar

I’m a 3 which makes sense to me as I have always considered myself to be bisexual!

DigitalBlue's avatar

That was supposed to be 2 and 3 and 4, not a fraction, it stylized itself on me.

ucme's avatar

The wife falls on my pork sword…which is nice.

downtide's avatar

@Coloma “I like real penises, not strap ons. lol”

Oh me too, but I also like what girls have too. When in Rome, you know… ;)

Berserker's avatar

penises are cool

Only138's avatar

I’m a 0. Vaginas are awesome!

Bellatrix's avatar

Yes they are @Only138. Totally agree.

tups's avatar

I got a 2.

bahamamama's avatar

0-exclusively heterosexual…..I like my sausage….............:)
