Information
The Multidimensional Scale of Sexuality was devised by Larry Kurdek, B. Berkey and T. Perelman-Hall. It is an extension of the Klein Sexual Orientation Grid, recognising that sexual identities can change over time, people can identify with more than one sexual identity, and that asexuality is a valid sexual identity.
Take the test yourself -- it makes more sense than the Klein Grid to me at least...

Information
Unhappiness in relationships, according to Dr. Gary Chapman, is often due to the fact that we speak different love languages. Sometimes we don't understand our partner's requirements, or even our own.
Take the test yourself: it's pretty non-threatening...

Where would we be without the Southampton [UK] City Council
and its concern for Sexually Muddled Youth?
Testless in Gaza...

  2. Well, if the shoe fits...
    Some part of me can't believe that grown-up people are being paid cash money to spend their time coming up with these things. It suddenly puts academia on the level of "Cosmo" or "Playboy" -- and they probably got govt. grants to do it, too.

    Long live welfare for the educated!
    Oh, to hell with it.

  3. Hehe. You're right. Generally, people will believe what they want, or will create the answers they seek. This can help people cope or make sense of it all if they find themselves confused though...I don't think it's 100% bs.
