What was Kinsey's greatest contribution to the study of sexual orientation?

What will be an ideal response?


He moved the discussion of sexual orientation away from a simple dichotomy and instead developed a 7-point classification scheme, ranging from 0 (entirely heterosexual) to 6 (entirely homosexual). His research showed that a surprising number of people are not really 0's or 6's—meaning entirely heterosexual or entirely homosexual, but instead are somewhat more towards the middle.
