    The term "Kinsey" often refers to Dr. Alfred Kinsey, an American biologist who was a pioneer in researching human sexuality, or to the Kinsey Scale. The Kinsey Scale, proposed by Alfred Kinsey in 1948, is used to describe a person's sexual orientation based on their experiences or responses at a given time. The scale typically ranges from 0, representing exclusive heterosexuality, to 6, representing exclusive homosexuality. So, people who identify as bisexual, for example, would typically fall in the middle of the scale.
