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
