Klein Sexual Grid
 
Rate each category from 1-7, where
1  hetero only
2  hetero mostly
3  hetero somewhat more
4  hetero/gay equally
5  gay somewhat more
6  gay mostly
7 gay only
 
Variable                       Past     Present    Ideal
 
A.  Sexual Attraction
B.  Sexual Behaviour
C.  Sexual Fantasies
D.  Emotional Preference
E.  Social Preference
F.  Self Identification
G.  Straight/Gay Lifestyle
 
Present = now and the past year
Ideal = What you wish you were, or think is the 'ideal' way
        to be.
 
The Klein Grid is considered better because it demonstrates
the dynamics of sexuality in one person.  Kinsey mentioned
using his 0-6 for past, fantasies and stuff too though, and
he mentioned the dynamics, so I haven't quite figured out
the improvement.  (Except maybe standardization.)
