Kinsey Scale

The Kinsey Scale is a 0-6 item (heterosexuality-homosexuality) rating scale that was first published in Sexual Behavior in the Human Male (1948). The 0 - 6 scale remains a potent and popular way of marking how a person's behavior, desires, and self-identification together cohere into markers of sexual identity (Drucker, 2012).
