Mean MSO scores for self-labeled gender and orientation. Consistent with the generally understood meanings of the labels, MSO scores for self-labeled gays/lesbians clustered toward the SS end of the SO continuum; scores for self-labeled asexuals, self-labeled bisexuals, self-labeled others, and self-labeled unsures clustered toward the center; and scores for self-labeled straights clustered toward the OS end. In addition, the mean MSO score for females was significantly higher than the mean MSO score for males.
