The authors of this online personality test are certified in the use of multiple personality tests and have worked professionally with typology and personality testing. The original research was provided by Dr. The IDR-KST© is the property of IDR Labs International. However, all are professionally-designed personality tests (or inventories) meant for measuring heterosexual and homosexual behavior in relation to gender roles in the Western world.
The original Kinsey Reports, Sexual Behavior in the Human Male (1948) and Sexual Behavior of the Human Female (1953), are broadly agreed to be historically significant.Īlthough all are designed to measure heterosexual and homosexual behavior, the IDR-KST© should not be confused with other “Kinsey Scale Tests,” as authored by alternative research organizations. The Kinsey Scale is dated, yet remains popular in many contexts. Contrary to popular belief, Kinsey was not a behaviorist, but granted that sexuality is much broader than simply lived behavior. The Kinsey Scale does not address all possible sexual identities and does not purport to accommodate respondents who identify as non-binary. The Kinsey Scale is a widely used index and instrument for measuring heterosexual and homosexual behavior.
