The Klein Sexual Orientation Grid developed by Dr. Fritz Klein attempts to further measure sexual orientation by expanding upon the earlier Kinsey scale which categorizes sexual history from 0 (exclusively heterosexual) to 6 (exclusively homosexual).

[edit] Grid

	Past (entire life up until a year ago)	Present (last 12 months)	Ideal (what would you like?)
A - Sexual Attraction: To whom are you sexually attracted?
B - Sexual Behaviour: With whom have you actually had sex?
C - Sexual Fantasies: About whom are your sexual fantasies?
D - Emotional preference: Who do you feel more drawn to or close to emotionally?
E - Social preference: Which gender do you socialize with?
F - Lifestyle preference: In which community do you like to spend your time? In which do you feel most comfortable?
G - Self-identification: How do you label or identify yourself?

Each of the 21 boxes should contain a value from 1 to 7, categorizing the individual's answers to the questions. For variables A to E the possible answers are: 1=Other sex only, 2=Other sex mostly, 3=Other sex somewhat more, 4=Both sexes, 5=Same sex somewhat more, 6=Same sex mostly, and 7=Same sex only. For variables F and G these range from 1=Heterosexual only to 7=Homosexual only.

Unlike the Kinsey Scale, the Klein grid investigates sexual orientation in three time periods and with respect to seven factors.
