[[File:Kinsey Scale measure (it's rainbow).jpg|thumb|A pictorial representation of the Kinsey Scale]]
The Kinsey Scale was developed by Alfred Kinsey, as a way to measure one's sexual attraction. It has six rungs, from exclusively [[Straight|heterosexual]] to exclusively [[Gay|homosexual]]. It is a common way of measuring these things, however since it doesn't include identities on the [[asexual Spectrum]] or [[aromantic Spectrum]], it has recently been overtaken by several other sources.
An example of use - one could be at a four on the kinsey scale, and therefore under the 'bisexual umbrella'. This includes sexualities such as [[Bisexual|bisexuality]], [[Omnisexual|omnisexuality]], [[Pansexual|pansexuality]] and [[Anthrosexual|anthrosexuality]], among many. Someone at a four or five would not identify with labels like [[heteroflexible]], meaning mostly straight.
