Theory and research concerning sexual orientation has been restricted in its scope and influence by the lack of clear and widely accepted definitions of terms like heterosexual, bisexual, and homosexual. In an attempt to better demarcate and understand the complexities of human sexual attitudes, emotions, and behavior, the Klein Sexual Orientation Grid (KSOG) was developed and administered. The KSOG is composed of seven variables that are dimensions of sexual orientation, each of which is rated by the subject as applying to the present, past, or ideal. Analysis of the data from subjects who filled out the KSOG in Forum Magazine indicated that the instrument was a reliable and valid research tool which took into consideration the multi-variable and dynamic aspects of sexual orientation.
由于缺乏对异性恋、双性恋和同性恋等术语清晰且被广泛接受的定义，关于性取向的理论和研究在范围和影响力上受到了限制。为了更好地界定和理解人类性态度、情感及行为的复杂性，人们开发并应用了克莱因性取向量表（KSOG）。KSOG由七个作为性取向维度的变量组成，每个变量由受试者根据其适用于当前、过去或理想情况进行评分。对在《论坛》杂志上填写KSOG的受试者数据进行分析表明，该工具是一种可靠且有效的研究工具，它考虑到了性取向的多变量和动态方面。
