Free LGBTQ+ Test - Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity

Welcome. Taking a moment to understand yourself better is a brave and important step. If you’re questioning your feelings about attraction, gender, or who you are, know that you are not alone. This journey is yours, and there’s no right or wrong way to navigate it.

This guide is designed to be a gentle starting point. It’s more than just a quiz; it’s a resource to help you explore your feelings in a private, thoughtful way.

Before You Begin: A Gentle Reminder

Your identity is a personal and evolving part of who you are. This online resource is for self-reflection and is not a substitute for professional advice. No quiz can define you. Its purpose is to help you organize your thoughts and feelings. Please approach it with curiosity, not pressure.

If you are feeling distressed or need someone to talk to, please connect with a mental health professional or a trusted support organization.

Understanding Key Concepts

Language helps us describe our experiences. Here are a few core ideas that are often part of this journey:

Sexual Orientation: This is about who you are physically and romantically attracted to. This can include being lesbian, gay, bisexual, pansexual, asexual, or straight, among many other identities.
Gender Identity: This is your internal sense of self—whether you identify as a man, woman, non-binary, genderqueer, or another identity. It may or may not align with the sex you were assigned at birth.
Gender Expression: This is how you outwardly present your gender. It can include your clothing, hairstyle, mannerisms, and pronouns.
Romantic Orientation: This is about who you have romantic feelings for. For some people, this is different from their sexual orientation.

After the Quiz: Reflecting on Your Feelings

Your results are a starting point for reflection, not a final label. Ask yourself:

How do these results feel to me? Do they resonate with my own experiences and feelings?
What parts surprised me? What parts felt familiar?
Do I feel pressured to choose a label? Remember, you don’t have to label yourself unless you want to. It’s also okay for your feelings to change over time.

The most important takeaway is what you learn about yourself, not the specific outcome of the quiz.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Is this test accurate?

This quiz is a tool for self-exploration, not a scientific or psychological assessment. Its accuracy is subjective and depends on how your self-reported answers align with common definitions within the LGBTQ+ spectrum.

Can my sexual orientation or gender identity change over time?

Yes. For many people, identity is fluid and can evolve throughout their life. It is a normal and valid experience.

What’s the difference between being non-binary and transgender?

“Transgender” is an umbrella term for anyone whose gender identity does not align with the sex they were assigned at birth. “Non-binary” is a specific identity under that umbrella where a person identifies as neither exclusively a man nor a woman.

Do I need to “come out”?

Coming out is a personal decision. There is no right or wrong time, and your safety and well-being should always be the top priority. You decide who you want to tell, and when.
