What research methods did kinsey use to research his subjects? Where they effective or ineffective ?

From the movie Kinsey

What research methods did kinsey use to research his subjects? Where they effective or ineffective ?
Critics were quick to condemn Kinsey, of course. But, no research since has altered his findings and his work is universally accepted in medicine and psychology. He was a ground breaker, had his own methodology using interview and extraordinarily large numbers of respondents, deftly applied statistics at a time when many researchers were only beginning to use statistical analysis, and boldly explored quite ahead of the times an area of our society and health and by doing so with medical lucidity and scientific integrity opened for public examination the taboo subject of sexuality.





Kinsey also, without prejudice, broke down the barrier between "normal" and "abnormal" concepts of sexuality. Here, for example, is a report related to the percentage of the population that is homosexual with a brief critique of Kinsey's research in that subject:
