Kinsey-Style Continuum Scale
normative dataset currently contains
579
participant records collected between
Jun 9, 2026
and
Oct 16, 2026
.
This psychometric dataset currently includes 579 anonymous participant responses collected through voluntary participation. The observed mean score was 55.89 with a standard deviation of 12.44, indicating moderate score variability within the sampled population. Internal consistency reliability analysis demonstrated acceptable reliability (Cronbach alpha = 0.713). Observed skewness (-0.67) and kurtosis (1.4) were examined as indicators of distribution quality. The score distribution appeared reasonably balanced and did not suggest substantial departures from normality.

Item–Total Correlations
Item Analysis Interpretation
Item–total correlations were generally strong across the assessment, indicating that most items contribute effectively to the measurement of the underlying construct.
The analysis identified10
itemsthat may benefit from future review.
Items Recommended for Future Review
Q2
(r = 0.23)
I often develop romantic feelings toward people of the opposite sex.
Q4
(r = 0.18)
I experience physical attraction toward people of the opposite sex.
Q6
(r = 0.22)
I can imagine myself in a long-term relationship with someone of the opposite sex.
Q8
(r = 0.08)
My fantasies frequently involve people of the opposite sex.
Q10
(r = 0.1)
I feel emotionally closer to people of the opposite sex.
Q15
(r = 0.2)
Emotional connection is more important to me than physical attraction.
Q16
(r = 0.26)
I feel uncertain about how to define my orientation.
Q19
(r = 0.09)
I feel comfortable discussing my attraction patterns openly.
Q20
(r = -0.12)
I feel stress or confusion related to my attraction patterns.
The lowest item–total correlation was observed for Q20 ("I feel stress or confusion related to my attraction patterns."; r = -0.12), indicating comparatively weaker alignment with the overall construct.

Normative Data Notice
A total of
579
participant responses were available for this assessment.
Dimension-level norms were calculated using
579
valid response records.
Approximately
0
response record(s) were excluded from dimension-level normative calculations due to incomplete response patterns.
Limitations
Normative statistics are derived from voluntary participation and may not represent all populations. Reliability estimates, percentile norms, and dimension statistics should be interpreted in the context of the current sample and may change as additional responses are collected.
Ethical Statement
All records included in this dataset were collected anonymously. No personally identifying information is stored. Data are intended for educational, psychometric, and research purposes.
