Understanding Sexual Orientation

Sexual orientation refers to an enduring pattern of emotional, romantic, and/or sexual attractions to men, women, or people of multiple genders. It also refers to a person's sense of identity based on those attractions, related behaviors, and membership in a community of others who share those attractions.

Research suggests that sexual orientation exists along a continuum, with exclusive attraction to the opposite sex on one end and exclusive attraction to the same sex on the other. However, sexual orientation is not merely a personal characteristic; it defines the group of people in which one is likely to find satisfying romantic relationships.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are these tests accurate?

Our tests are designed to be educational tools for self-exploration, not clinical diagnostic instruments.

Is my data kept private?

Absolutely. Your privacy is our priority. We do not store your individual responses, and test results are not saved after you close your browser. You can take our tests with complete anonymity.

What should I do after taking a test?

We recommend reviewing the educational resources provided with your results. If you're questioning your sexual orientation, consider speaking with a supportive friend, family member, or mental health professional who specializes in LGBTQ+ issues.
