Every prospective House Boy will be furnished two copies of the Kinsey Scale Self Assessment Form at or before his Pre-Collaring Interview. The Master will discuss the contents of the form with the candidate during the interview and ask the applicant to circle the response which most closely approximates the prospective House Boy’s current sexual orientation. The candidate will then be asked to circle a response on the second form to indicate his desired or predicted sexual orientation six months into the future, or at the completion of his service if it is going to be short-term or temporary. Completed forms will be dated and signed or initialed by the applicant and retained by the Master throughout the Pre-Collaring Interview and Inspection process.

The seven steps on the Kinsey Scale are numbered zero to six and are as follows (in common parlance):

• Zero — Exclusively straight, not gay curious
• One — Straight but gay curious
• Two — Bisexual, with female preference
• Three — Bisexual, equaling preference for female and male
• Four — Bisexual, with male preference
• Five — Gay, but straight curious
• Six — Exclusively gay, not straight curious
   
• Note: Candidates who identify with another sexual orientation (such as pansexual) will still be required to complete the Kinsey Scale Self Assessment, but will be permitted to note their actual sexual orientation on the form.

The Master uses the information contained in the Kinsey Scale Self Assessment to help personalize the House Boy experience. An example of this would be the selection of invitees for the House Boy’s Birthday Party, which is normally populated with those with whom the birthday celebrant would find the greatest camaraderie. Completed Kinsey Scale Assessment Forms are kept in the House Boy’s file and are available for anyone to view on request. It is the responsibility of every House Boy to complete a new form whenever he determines that his sexual orientation has changed, whether intentional or circumstantial. Full-time live-in House Boys are also required to complete new forms annually.

Guests and visitors who wish to do so will be permitted to submit their own Kinsey Scale ‘wish list’ assessment for any House Boy, to officially state what sexual orientation the guest ‘wishes’ for the House Boy to become. While these ‘wishes’ are not binding upon the House Boy or anyone else, they may be used to jumpstart conversations and to engage in humor and will be included in House Boy’s file for anyone to view, including the House Boy himself. If a guest updates their ‘wish’, the previous form will be removed from the file and discarded.
