The flexibility model of bisexuality views bisexuality as the successful integration of homosexual and heterosexual identities into a dual sexual orientation. In addition, the model characterizes bisexual individuals as cognitively and interpersonally flexible. In this study, the authors tested the “bisexuals are more flexible” hypothesis. Participants (N = 640; 40% bisexuals) completed an online survey that included the Cognitive Flexibility Scale, the Battery of Interpersonal Capabilities, and the Outness Inventory. Bisexuals and nonbisexuals did not differ on the two measures of psychological flexibility or outness. Asexuals, however, scored lower on cognitive flexibility and outness. Outness scores were correlated with scores on both measures of psychological flexibility, which suggests that persons who are more open about their sexual orientation are also more flexible, cognitively and interpersonally
