The Outness Inventory (OI) is an 11-item scale designed to measure the extent to which LGB individuals are open about their sexual orientation. Responses indicate the degree to which the participant’s sexual orientation is known by and openly discussed with various individuals, groups, and communities. Each item is rated on a scale ranging from 1 (person definitely does NOT know about your sexual orientation status) to 7 (person definitely knows about your sexual orientation status, and it is openly talked about). Respondents can also indicate if an item does not apply to them. Scoring produces an Overall Outness index (Cronbach’s alpha = 0.88).
