The Kinsey Scale was developed by Alfred Kinsey, as a way to measure one's sexual attraction. It has six rungs, from exclusively [[Straight|heterosexual]] to exclusively [[Gay|homosexual]]. It is a common way of measuring these things, however since it doesn't include identities on the [[asexual Spectrum]] or [[aromantic Spectrum]], it has recently been overtaken by several other sources. |

The Kinsey Scale was developed by Alfred Kinsey, as a way to measure one's sexual attraction. It has six rungs, from exclusively heterosexual to exclusively homosexual. It is a common way of measuring these things, however since it doesn't include identities on the asexual spectrum or aromantic spectrum, it has recently been overtaken by several other sources.
