Neural Correlates of Sexual Orientation: Latest Neuroimaging Findings
Recent neuroimaging studies reveal distinct neural patterns associated with sexual orientation, providing new insights into the biological basis of human sexuality.
About Our Sexual Orientation Assessment
Our gay test is a scientifically-informed tool designed to help individuals explore their sexual orientation through self-reflection and assessment. Based on established psychological research and validated methodologies.
Our Mission
We believe that understanding your sexual orientation is a fundamental aspect of self-knowledge and personal growth. Our mission is to provide a safe, confidential, and scientifically-grounded platform for individuals to explore their sexuality without judgment or pressure.
Scientific Foundation
Our assessment is built upon decades of research in human sexuality, including:
- The Kinsey Scale (1948): Alfred Kinsey's groundbreaking research that introduced the concept of sexual orientation as a continuum
- Klein Sexual Orientation Grid (1985): Fritz Klein's multidimensional approach to understanding sexuality
- Modern LGBT Research: Contemporary studies from the Williams Institute, APA, and leading sexology researchers
- Neurobiological Studies: Recent research on the biological basis of sexual orientation (Bailey et al., 2016)
Methodology
Our 25-question assessment evaluates four key dimensions of sexual orientation:
Emotional Attraction
Feelings of emotional connection and affinity
Romantic Attraction
Romantic feelings, crushes, and relationship desires
Sexual Attraction
Physical and sexual attraction patterns
Behavioral Patterns
Actions, preferences, and social behaviors
Privacy and Confidentiality
We take your privacy seriously. Our assessment operates entirely in your browser, and no personal data is ever transmitted to our servers. Your responses remain completely private and confidential.
Limitations and Disclaimers
While our assessment is based on scientific research, it's important to understand its limitations:
- This is a self-assessment tool, not a medical or psychological diagnosis
- Sexual orientation is complex and may not be fully captured by any single assessment
- Results should be viewed as one perspective in your journey of self-discovery
- Professional counseling may be beneficial for those questioning their sexuality
