As a diagnostic tool it can be helpful for people to explain how they're feeling but should not be thought of as a replacement for how a person chooses to identify. Additionally the Kinsey scale isn't always the best way of explaining someones level of sexual attraction as it fails to factor in level of attraction, for ace people, and in the broader context of queerness can sometimes be limiting. Nonetheless, the Kinsey scale remains a popular and effective way of communicating to ones-self and others what it is they want in a partner. Go Back?
