Asexuality Test
A gentle, affirming reflection for anyone wondering where they sit on the asexual spectrum. It separates sexual attraction from romantic attraction, the way the ace community does, and explores gray-asexuality and demisexuality too. It is not a label, not a verdict, and not a diagnosis. Asexuality is a valid orientation, never a problem to fix.
What this test measures
Three angles on attraction this reflection holds
Asexuality is about how much sexual attraction you experience, which is different from who you love or whether you want closeness. This tool looks at a few angles together, with care.
Sexual attraction
How much sexual attraction you feel toward others, if any, and under what conditions. Little or none points toward the asexual spectrum, and that is a healthy, valid orientation.
Romantic attraction
Who, if anyone, you feel romantic pull toward. This is separate from sexual attraction, which is why many ace people are also romantic, and why the aromantic spectrum exists too.
Conditions & nuance
Whether attraction shows up only after a deep bond (demisexual) or rarely and faintly (gray-asexual). The ace spectrum is wide, and these nuances matter.

How we built this test
Methodology & sources
This reflection is informed by research on asexuality, notably Anthony Bogaert's work, which estimated that roughly one percent of people experience little or no sexual attraction and made the case that asexuality is best understood as a sexual orientation rather than a disorder or dysfunction. A central idea from the asexual community shapes this tool: sexual attraction and romantic attraction are separate. Someone can be asexual and still fall deeply in love, want partnership, or feel none of those things. Rather than scoring you on a single line, the tool gathers signals about sexual attraction, romantic attraction, and the conditions under which attraction appears, then reflects back which patterns showed up most.
This is a tool for self-reflection and education only. Asexuality is a valid orientation, not a medical problem, a hormone issue, or something that therapy should try to fix. Low or absent sexual attraction is only a concern if it distresses you and represents a change you want explained, which is a separate question worth raising with a clinician. The result describes patterns in your answers, not a fixed truth about you. Only you can decide what words, if any, fit, and it is completely valid for that to change or to stay open.

Common questions
Asexuality Test FAQ
Can a quiz tell me if I'm asexual?
No. Asexuality is something only you can name from the inside. This tool reflects patterns in how you answered, including whether sexual attraction seems faint or absent for you, as a gentle prompt for reflection. The naming is always yours.
What is the difference between sexual and romantic attraction?
Sexual attraction is the desire for sexual closeness with someone. Romantic attraction is the pull to fall in love or partner with someone. They are separate, which is why many asexual people are also romantic, and why some people are aromantic instead.
What do gray-asexual and demisexual mean?
Gray-asexual describes feeling sexual attraction rarely or faintly. Demisexual describes feeling it only after a strong emotional bond forms. Both sit on the asexual spectrum, and both are valid ways to experience attraction.
Is asexuality a disorder or a medical problem?
No. Asexuality is a valid sexual orientation, not a disorder, hormone issue, or something to cure. It is only worth seeing a clinician if a sudden loss of desire distresses you and you want it explained, which is a different question from being asexual.
Is this test really private?
Yes. It runs entirely in your browser. Your answers are never sent to a server, never stored, and never linked to you. No account is needed, and the optional PDF is generated on your own device.
