Is anyone familiar with the C.O.G.I.A.T.I. (transgender) Test?

My opinion is that even if you are trying your best to answer the question truthfully, as soon as you know what a test is used for, it become biased and therefore not valid. If someone were to give you the test without you knowing what it is for, there might be more reliable scientific evidence (for whatever said test concerns.)

That said, you are who you are. Even the most well designed test can't tell you this because computers can't quantify human.

 

That's pretty interesting, yeah! I think you also have to take into consideration the difference between sex and gender identity. Guys can be feminine and gals can be masculine, and then there's those that fall somewhere in between. Also, I think androgynous personalities are becoming more common as the sex role stereotyping in society is becoming less concrete.

I do think it's neat though. It allows you to identify with the perspective of either gender and be more flexible with doing different jobs, definitely makes you valuable.

 

It's bunk. On my phone now but there was a really funny send-up of it on tsroadmap.com if you have a few minutes and need a good laugh.

The problem is that it focuses on stereotypes. The old mentality was making you prove your femininity before transitioning. Since WPATH revised the Standards of Care, it's about making sure people understand the risks, making sure there are no mental or physical health problems that would interfere with any medical treatment, and making sure the trans patient has full agency - which is a fancy way of saying they're nit transitioning for a weird reason like making a loved one happy or because they're ashamed of being gay.

None of those kinds of concerns show up in a gender test. The real danger is that being trans has little to do with social gender roles, and that is the big focus of those tests.

 

So tsroadmap.com had the not funny but thought out reply to The COGIATI "Gender test" , but they link to the funny test, DIANATI, on the bottom.

 

I get thay completely. Keeping in mind what you're really doing is comparing yourself to someone else's point of view on gender, Blogthings.com has a lot of good ones.

 

Collected wisdom: (Satire) The DIANATI

 

And for what it's worth I someti mes read horoscopes too . Ad long as you don't give the results any authority, like ''someone important made this so it's true'' or anything, sometimes someone else's point of view can help you see things you wouldn't otherwise.

 

Matter of fact later when I have a real computer I'll take both tests and post my results

 

I'm going to give it a shot too.

But remember like the Kinsey scale or IQ tests it only tests based on a limited set of responses and doesn't take other factors into account.

 

Well according to that test I'm internally more male than female, so it's really not winning me over...

 

The thing is, once you get to that first question that asks you to choose between something logical and something artistic, you can SEE where it's going.

Men like gadgets and logic and maths. Women like painting and make-believe and poetry!

How anyone thought linking broad-spectrum personality traits to 'Do I REALLY need this penis?' is beyond me!

 

Your COGIATI result value is: 0 Which means that you fall within the following category:
COGIATI classification THREE, ANDROGYNE
What this means is that the Combined Gender Identity And Transsexuality Inventory has classified your internal gender identity to be essentially androgynous, both male and female at the same time, or possibly neither. In some cultures in history, you would be considered to be a third sex, independent of the polarities of masculine or feminine. Your gender issues are intrinsic to your construction, and you will most likely find your happiness playing with expressing both genders as you feel like it.
SUGGESTIONS FOR ACTION:
Your situation is a little tricky in our current society, but not tremendously so, depending on your geographic location.
The suggestions for your circumstance are not overly complicated.
If you have any comfortability about your gender expression, some slight degree of counseling might well prove helpful. The primary goal would be to make it possible for you to enjoy your gender expressions free from any shame or embarrassment, and to resolve any remaining questions you might have.
As an androgynous being, both genders, and both sexes are natural to your expression. Permanent polarization in either direction might bring significant unhappiness. It is not recommended that you go through a complete transsexual transformation. You might find a partial transformation of value, if you find yourself more attracted overall to the feminine. You are more likely a transgenderist, than a transsexual. It is recommended that you recognize that your gender issues are real, but that extreme action regarding them should be viewed with great caution.
If you have not already, consider joining any of the thousands of groups devoted to gender play of various varieties. There is literally a world of friends to discover who share your interests. There are also publications, vacations, and activities that would expand your gender play.


Holy crap... That is me.
