About Us
Ever felt a question bubbling just beneath the surface, a feeling you couldn't quite name? You're not alone, and you've found a safe place to explore it.
Our Journey to Understanding
GayTest was born from a simple need: a private, non-judgmental space for people to explore their sexuality. Created by members and allies of the LGBTQ+ community, alongside psychologists, we built a tool that offers reflection, not labels. Our optional AI analysis is the next step in that journey, providing deeper, personalized insights for those who seek them.

A Safe Harbor for Your Questions
We exist to provide a free, secure, and affirming tool for anyone questioning or exploring their sexual orientation. Our goal is to replace confusion with clarity and anxiety with self-acceptance, offering a starting point for a deeply personal journey, guided by empathy and understanding.
Your Compass for Self-Discovery
We envision a world where self-discovery is empowering, not frightening. GayTest aims to be a personal compass for navigating your feelings, helping you chart your own path toward self-understanding and authenticity, with resources to support you every step of the way.
The Pillars of Our Platform
Everything we do is built on three core principles. Empathy: We meet you where you are, without judgment. Expertise: Our approach is informed by insights from both the LGBTQ+ community and psychology professionals. Privacy: Your journey is sacred and confidential, always.
A Tool for Reflection, Not a Label
We want to be clear: this platform is a tool for insight and self-exploration, not a substitute for professional medical or psychological diagnosis. Your results are best used as a starting point for discussion with a qualified professional.
Privacy Isn't an Option—It's Our Foundation
Your data belongs to you. We built this platform with privacy at its core. Your assessment is anonymous, and we will never sell or share your personal information. That's our promise.
Rooted in Real Experience and Expertise
Our tools aren't created in a vacuum. The assessment is shaped by established psychological concepts and, most importantly, the lived experiences and insights of the LGBTQ+ community to ensure the reflections are meaningful and grounded.
Our Unwavering Promise to You
Self-discovery is a deeply personal journey. We pledge to be your trustworthy, compassionate, and secure partner at every step.
Guided by Insight, Not Guesswork
Our questions are carefully crafted by a team of LGBTQ+ individuals, allies, and psychological consultants to facilitate meaningful self-reflection. We focus on thoughtful inquiry, never diagnosis.
Built with Heart, For You
From our supportive language to our user-friendly design, every aspect of GayTest is created to feel affirming and reduce stress. Your feelings are valid, and this space is here to honor that.
Your Journey is Yours Alone
Your privacy is paramount. Your responses are anonymous, your results are confidential, and we will never sell your data. This is a secure space designed for your peace of mind.

The basic results were helpful, but the optional AI report was incredible. It connected dots I hadn't even considered and helped me understand the nuances of my attraction. Truly eye-opening.
