Klein Sexual Orientation Grid
Fritz Klein, MD

This is not an interactive page, so you may want to print it out. Using the valuse in the keys below, enter 1-7 in each blank, then average the values in each column. Using the scale at the bottom of the page, rate your sexual orientation of the past, the present, and what you think is ideal for you. If there is a great discreprency between the present and the ideal, there may be a lot of internal conflict going on. You might want to check here for more information about sexual orientation
