Klein first described the KSOG in his 1978 book The Bisexual Option.įritz Klein founded the American Institute of Bisexuality in 1998 which is continuing his work by sponsoring bisexual-inclusive sex research, educating the general public on sexuality, and promoting the bisexual community. In response to the criticism of the Kinsey scale only measuring two dimensions of sexual orientation, Klein developed a multidimensional grid for describing sexual orientation. A scale developed in the 1940s by Alfred Kinsey which places an individuals sexual orientation on a spectrum from 0 (exclusively heterosexual) to 6 (. Unlike the Kinsey scale, the Klein grid investigates sexual orientation in the past, the present and in the idealized future with respect to seven factors each, for a total of twenty-one values. The first limitation of the Kinsey scale is that it doesn’t include the possible sexual orientation in a relationship. The KSOG uses values of 1–7, rather than the 0–6 scale of the Kinsey scale, to describe a continuum from exclusively opposite-sex to exclusively same-sex attraction. ![]() The KSOG is often used as a tool in research. ![]()
