    Most researchers view homosexuality and heterosexuality on a sliding scale, but also realize that some people are 100% homosexual and some people are 100% heterosexual.

    The Kinsey Heterosexual-Homosexual Rating Scale, The Klein Sexual Orientation Grid (or KSOG), & the Epstein Sexual Orientation Inventory (ESOI) all recognize that sexual orientation is more than just Straight, Bisexual, or Gay.

    The Kinsey scale is from 0 to 6:
    0 = Exclusively heterosexual with no homosexual
    1 = Predominantly heterosexual, only incidentally homosexual
    2 = Predominantly heterosexual, but more than incidentally homosexual
    3 = Equally heterosexual and homosexual
    4 = Predominantly homosexual, but more than incidentally heterosexual
    5 = Predominantly homosexual, only incidentally heterosexual
    6 = Exclusively homosexual

    The Klein Sexual Orientation Grid (or KSOG) is from 1 to 7:
    1 = Heterosexual only
    2 = Heterosexual mostly
    3 = Heterosexual somewhat more
    4 = Hetero/Gay-Lesbian equally
    5 = Gay/Lesbian somewhat more
    6 = Gay/Lesbian mostly
    7 = Gay/Lesbian only

    The Epstein Sexual Orientation Survey (ESOI) has a Sexual Orientation Continuum from 0 (Heterosexual) to 13 (Homosexual) that consists of a Mean Sexual Orientation and a Sexual Orientation Range.
