The Cogiati (combined gender identity and transsexuality inventory) test

[ChildOfTheLight]

Even though this test probably wasn't meant for me, since I'm not considering transitioning, I took it once.  I scored -5, right in the middle of the "Androgyne" category, which is about where I see myself.  Other tests give me pretty close to the same result.

[tinkerbell]

Okay, I decided to revive this thread since some of you have been wondering about the Cogiati.  Please keep in mind that the results of this test shoudn't be used (by anyone) as a diagnosis for transsexualism.

Take the Cogiati online at the following link:

I got a 110: Androgyne.  I don't know though.  That whole thing about your gender based on your ability to do math.   Heck I'm in school for engineering, I hope my math skills are up to par.  Although in a field like that men do tend to get taken more seriously. 


Q. You will never, ever be a woman. You must live the rest of your days entirely as a man, and you will only get more masculine with each passing year. There is no way out. What is your reaction?

A. (-10) I could cope. Not much different than now.
A. (-5) As long as I can still dress in private, I would survive.
A. (0) It would hurt, but I would carry on.
A. (5) I don't think I could bear that.
A. (10) I am better off dead.


My first reaction was: Oh my goodness that would totally suck!
The losing the penis one was a fun one as well.  Losing it would be bad not in terms of not having it there but now there's no raw material for SRS.

The Cogiati Test, another thing that fits my classification for horse manure!

Cogatti test = CD luls

its not designed for transexuals, the options are VERY leading, and its SO playable...
just like all internet 'tests'
its fun to watch me get called 'not trans' because i wear jeans and some other tomboyish things

I took this about 10 years ago, then about 5 years ago and then again just recently.  Every time I've gotten a result of:
COGIATI classification FOUR, PROBABLE TRANSSEXUAL and have had an average score somewhere around 280-300.

[Pica Pica]

i've had three results three different times

[rhonda13000]

 

I suppose that this was the wrong time to take this 'test': 250.

'Probable'

Please.

If you were to base it upon history, it would be more like 660.

It's been gory.   

Gory and replete with instances of 'cross-dressing', that is.

[Jonie]

I took the test and got a 195 which put me in catagory four or probably a transexual and I should seek counciling to explore this issue. I am a mtf post-op, I had my surgery 6/26/2005 and I can tell you for certain I am much better off as a woman and their aint no probably about it.

[Kate]

Then again I only scored a FOUR. Being "probable" kinda made me mad, lol. Had I scored a FIVE, I'm sure I'd be posting about the test's uncanny accuracy

OK, a year later I now get:

395: COGIATI classification FIVE, TRANSSEXUAL

I think this test is uncannily accurate

~Kate~

[tinkerbell]

Well, this is why this test shouldn't be taken seriously.  I am also post-op, have had severe GID since childhood, and all this test could do for me was to give me the result of androgyne.  As Rhonda has pointed out, such results do not convey in anyway the struggles that we have had to endure.  It's totally biased and sexist IMHO.

[Kate]

It's totally biased and sexist IMHO.

I *still* say it's uncannily accurate!

Oh *fine* then, lol... yes, it's pretty stupid. To be a Real Woman you apparently have to be an uncoordinated ditz obsessed with hugging everyone.

Come to think of it though.. I love hugging... and I can't park worth a darn...

I *still* say it's uncannily accurate!

LOL     I don't even know how to drive, so how am I supposed to respond to such questions?

[Mattie]

I can drive well enough, its just that parking gives me troubles.  Then again having a car the size of a boat doesn't help much either.

it doesnt test if your a woman or not, it tests how ->-bleeped-<- you are

[Chandra21]

I got probable transexual when I did this test about a year ago but thats because I'm good at math, and <i>apparently</i> girls suck a math, so it knocked off many points. The test gives a good rough idea of whether someone is transgendered or not but one shouldn't take the tests word for it. Deep down your gender is what you feel it is not what some online quiz says... the only person who can really help you find out if you have GID (other than yourself) is a specialist, really.

[Rachael]

most of the questions lead you, almost show you what the most ->-bleeped-<- answer is... so its hard to do fairly.

heh, just took it again, probable transexual, dispite being on hrt, and saying im deffinately trans...
the test is so biased, i cant answer, im all female, for one of the questions.
imo its more for CDs or TVs to decide thier TS or not, because i cant answer those questions how i wish to. its too male orientated.

[mavieenrose]

Just took the test and got 325...  So I'm 'probably' transsexual; not bad for someone who is 14 years post-op, has lived 15 years as a woman and has not even had a second's regret in all those years...!

Maybe I should be spending more time in floral dresses and training myself to unlearn all the maths I was taught in the conservative, boys secondary school I was forced to attend

Ever since I was a child I've always loved doing any kind of personality quiz, just for the fun of it
But as far as I'm concerned they're often nothing much more than the product of another person's own, personal prejudices...

I started boiling the test down to see which questions seemed important to me... a dozen... half-dozen... than only one stood out:

Q. You will never, ever be a woman. You must live the rest of your days entirely as a man, and you will only get more masculine with each passing year. There is no way out. What is your reaction?

A. (-10) I could cope. Not much different than now.
A. (-5) As long as I can still dress in private, I would survive.
A. (0) It would hurt, but I would carry on.
A. (5) I don't think I could bear that.
A. (10) I am better off dead.

This was the emotional crisis/realization that finally broke me and got me into therapy. The question wasn't hypothetical to me.

You know how that I answered this one, do you not, sweetie? 

And obviously, you do understand. yes?

"A Fate Worse Than Death" indeed. The horror induced simply by reading and considering the scenario posed by the very question.....

Tink, having experienced the drivers in your neck of the woods, I can understand not knowing how to drive.  Bill Cosby was right.  ROFL
