Sexual Traits

The following five graphs illustrate the frequency of the different sexual traits that appear in the first 1,000 Flex Test results, according to the self-described orientation of the test taker. These sexual features are fairly evenly distributed among gay, straight, and bisexual groups.

The First 1,000: Flex Scores

Flexuality Scores among the first 1,000 who have taken the test have spread out into a nice bell curve.

When flexuality scores are compared to sexual orientation, we see that those who identify themselves as bisexual are more likely to have higher flexuality scores.

This graphs breaks it down according to the sexual type generated by the Flexuality Test. The polyamorous and ambisexual types score higher, reflecting more open attitudes, environments, and experiences.

The First 1,000 Results

Here are some summary results from the first 1,000 who have taken the Flexuality Test. The first graph shows the number of women and men who identified themselves at the start of the test as bisexual, heterosexual, or homosexual. Keep in mind that word of the test has spread mostly through bisexual and gender issues listserves and forums, so it is unlikely to be representative of the general public.

These are the sexual types generated by the Flex Test among those who identified themselves as bisexual, heterosexual, or homosexual. Those who think of themselves as straight are more likely to be heterosexual or ambisexual. Those who think of themselves as gay may be queer or polyamorous.
Sexual type varied quite a bit by gender. As predicted by the literature, women were more polyamorous, while men were more ambisexual. Men were more likely to be gay, while very few women scored as lesbian.
