Are you straight, gay, or bisexual? We tend to think of sexual orientation in rather black-and-white terms. In fact, though, few people are exclusively straight or exclusively gay, and there are a lot of shades in between.

The Klein Sexual Orientation Grid was introduced by an American sex researcher and psychiatrist named Dr. Fritz Klein in 1993. Based on the Kinsey Scale, it measures a person's sexual orientation on a continuum between "straight" and "gay", giving a more nuanced assessment of sexual identity.
