About this attraction reflection
This is an original, 12-question self-reflection questionnaire. It asks separately about recent romantic and physical / sexual attraction to men, women, and nonbinary people. Four optional questions add context; they never create a score or identity result.
What the questionnaire does
Each of the six areas has two questions about the past 12 months. Responses are described independently, including when information is incomplete or the two answers differ. When two adjacent frequency answers are present, the plain-language description uses their rounded average; answers that differ by two or more levels are marked as mixed instead of averaged. Good looks, friendship, admiration, and emotional closeness are not automatically romantic or sexual attraction. The groups named here include diverse people.
What it does not do
This is research-informed reflection, not a validated instrument, clinical assessment, diagnosis, percentage, Kinsey score, or identity classifier. It cannot tell you who you are. You decide whether any words or labels are useful, and experiences can change over time.
Research reading
- The Kinsey Institute explains the historical Kinsey Scale and notes that it does not offer an official Kinsey test or quiz. The scale inspires discussion of variation; this questionnaire does not convert answers into that scale.
- Bi.org’s introduction to the Klein Sexual Orientation Grid describes a multidimensional way to think about orientation.
- Diamond (2003), PubMed 12529061, distinguishes romantic love and sexual desire in a model of sexual orientation.
Privacy
Answers and optional reflections remain in the current questionnaire session and are not uploaded by this questionnaire. Public sharing always uses https://gay-test.net/test, without answers or results. The site may use the services described in its privacy policy.
