-'''The Kinsey scale''', also known as the '''Heterosexual-Homosexual Rating Scale''', was developed by sexologist Alfred Kinsey as a way to measure [[sexual attraction]] based on experience. It is meant to go beyond separating people into [[gay]] and [[straight]]. It has seven numbered categories, from "exclusively heterosexual" or "0" to "exclusively homosexual" or "6," and one unnumbered category called "X" for those who have never had sexual experiences or reactions, which does not encompass experiences on the [[asexual Spectrum|asexual]] or [[aromantic Spectrum|aromantic]] spectrums.
