Bisexuality also can be similar to [[Pansexual|pansexuality]] and other [[Multisexual|multi-gender-attracted identities]]. The difference between these identities usually comes down to individual preference, particularly where people may feel that different terms communicate their personal experience of attraction with more accuracy.▼

==Kinsey scale==
According to zoologist Alfred Kinsey's research in the mid-1940s, most humans are not exclusively [[Straight|heterosexual]] or [[Gay|homosexual]]<ref>https://kinseyinstitute.org/research/publications/kinsey-scale.php</ref>. The Kinsey scale measures sexual attraction and behavior on a seven-point scale ranging from 0 ("exclusively heterosexual") to 6 ("exclusively homosexual"). It was found that most people fall somewhere in the 1-5 category and are believed to have "varying bisexual responses". However, people who rank anywhere between 2-4 are most likely to be recognized as bisexual, as they are often not one extreme or the other. For those individuals ranking either a 1 or a 5, the terms [[heteroflexible]] and [[homoflexible]] have come into the mainstream, though it is also recognized to use the label of bisexuality for their sexual orientation, as sociologists Martin S. Weinberg and Colin J. Williams wrote that, in principle, people who rank anywhere from 1-5 could be considered bisexual.
