The Quality of Sex Inventory (QSI) is a validated self-report measure designed to assess an individual’s experience of sexual satisfaction and dissatisfaction within their intimate relationships. It captures both positive aspects of sexual quality, such as pleasure and fulfillment, and areas of concern, such as distress or dissatisfaction, providing a nuanced view of sexual wellbeing.
Scores are interpreted relative to a normative sample of sexually active adults in committed relationships, allowing percentile comparisons.
In this report, your responses have been scored to reflect your standing relative to the normative sample. Percentile scores indicate the proportion of adults in the reference population who scored lower than you on each subscale.
Higher percentiles on the Satisfaction scale suggest a more positive sexual experience compared with peers, whereas higher percentiles on Dissatisfaction indicate greater sexual distress.
These results are intended to support discussion, reflection, and potential areas of focus within therapy, rather than serve as diagnostic conclusions.
