This is a self-reflection tool, not a diagnostic test. Your orientation is yours to define — these questions just help you see patterns.

What this tool actually measures

Most sexual orientation tests collapse a complex topic onto a single line from straight to gay. This one doesn't. It scores you across four dimensions — attraction to your same gender, attraction to a different gender, multi-gender openness, and the asexual spectrum — and treats romantic and sexual pull as different things. The result is a small map of your attractions, closer to how orientation actually works.

Frequently Asked Questions

It's a self-reflection tool, not a diagnostic instrument. The dimensions it tracks are inspired by research like Michael Storms' Erotic Response and Orientation Scale and the Klein Sexual Orientation Grid, both of which moved beyond a single Kinsey-style line to a multi-dimensional view. But your orientation is yours to define — this just helps you see patterns.

Because attraction rarely sits at one fixed point. People can feel sexual pull toward one gender and romantic pull toward another. Some feel strong attraction overall, others very little. A label like "gay" or "straight" can be true and still leave a lot out. The four dimension bars in your result show the fuller picture, including multi-gender openness and the asexual spectrum which a single line can't capture.

Questions are framed as "the same gender as you" or "a different gender from you," so the wording works no matter how you identify. The tool doesn't assume binary attraction, and the multi-gender result is built to capture attraction that doesn't filter heavily by gender.

No. Your answers stay in your browser and are used only to compute your result. We don't store them, send them anywhere, or attach them to your account.

Trust yourself over the result. A 15-question quiz can't capture lived experience or context. The result is a starting point for reflection, not a verdict. If something feels off, that's useful information too.

No. If you're working through questions about identity, a therapist who specializes in sexuality or LGBTQ+ topics can help in ways a quiz can't. This tool is a private moment of self-reflection, nothing more.
