I scored a 450 which makes me a Cat 5 raving transsexual LOL.

I feel like I should notify the hurricane center or something

Are you sure it wasn't (minus 450)? >

Lol, seriously, you never know with this test! it is just for fun!

Hmm...perhaps it was a negative 450 however if thats the case I got some 'splainin' to do.

P.S. Thanks for the help on the signature pic Tink

I have got a 350 (probably transsexual)

Anyway I do not think it is a valid test, it seem to me based only on stereotypes. It believe that these do non make provision for lesbian M2F like I am

Oh my gawd! I scored a 330. I might be a probable ->-bleeped-<-. What am I going to do?

I was hoping I'd get the female score... boo hoo. The thing is, these tests all assume that women can't know north from south or that they might like science. They also assume that girls like poetry in grade school.

Okay, I just took the test to see if how I feel nowdays as opposed to before my transition. Crap... I got a 480. That makes me a flaming transsexual. Do I have to go be a man now?

I get a kick out of these tests and do them just for fun. I agree this one is stereotypical. I can do math rather well and spell and I can figure my way out of a situation when need be. As we have heard in another thread I am all woman (biological and mental). I scored 4 on this because I think some of the traits are seen strictly as male or strictly female and forget a grey area. Geez I served in the army with a female mechanic. You wouldn't know it when working beside her with grease all over her and all that but in a skirt and make-up she was a very pretty gal. And she loved men only. But if you ask the experts that do these tests her mechanical abilitiy would lean her towards the male side of things, and she's gg!! As for this girl, I have undisputable black and white proof I am female and that is all I need

!! These tests are still fun to do to see how they pan out though.

All I remember is that before transition, I got a "probable transsexual" score and recently I took it and it was in the transsexual category. I just answered the questions honestly. I tend to have a good range of skills, so that hinders me on some of these test. However, the most important test is that I prefer being female. That's all I need.

Is this thing STILL floating around?

anustacey · September 22, 2006, 05:55:44 PM

i would have to agree with karen and say that the test while obviosly flawed, it can still be used to help people such as myself start to understand more about themselves and where we are coming from. for me it left me feeling that it will be possible to come to grips with the confusion that i am going through

I scored as a transsexual on this test and scored at 94% female on another test. Maybe the tests show what I am thinking. I do feel more femaole than male. What do you girls think?

Laura823 · September 24, 2006, 10:24:36 AM

Took the test scored +530.

Since beginning HRT, I cannot locate a sound without searching. Almost as bad a John Wayne in the "The Searchers."

Hi
Yes, several times! The first time I tried to make it say I was TS and it ended up saying probable. I ended up crying because I knew it was true and all that would happen if I followed my heart. Then I took it again several weeks later and answered every question with absolute honesty. The results came back classic transsexual. That shocked me.

You are right though. This isn't something you should put much credence in. But, for me anyway, it helped me admit I was TS.

Hey pretty lady;

I am in Portland right now at the susan's fest which we think to plan every year. Marco, Karen, Jaded, Pam, Melissa, and me. We had dinner at a very nice restaurant that Melissa recommended. I have been worried about you. Hope you received my emails this time. I love your new picture. Looking great as always....

love and hugs,

Looks kinda bad for you Cindi! Do you have any idea what the life of a transsexual is like? I mean you have to appear on Jerry Springer and act like an idiot. You'll probably end up prostituting yourself. And you might become a child molester too. Maybe you can take the test again and save yourself from all this.

You're funny.

I scored a 330, or class 4 Probable Transsexual.

I don't put a lot of stock into these tests but since I am at a point many of you passed a long time ago I use the questions for an honest self-evaluation. And of course being broke, a free starting point for now.

At any rate, they're neat if nothing else.

No, the beauty of the COGIATI isn't in the score. That's suspect. It's in the questions it asks you. They make you think about you -- the REAL you as it relates to gender. Never mind the question about backing up a car ('piece of cake' for me, trailers too. So what?) I realized that I really wouldn't mind losing my penis. I never would have thought that if the COGIATI hadn't had a question that asked that very thing -- what would you DO of you lost Mr. John Thomas in an accident? That and other questions got me thinking -- really thinking...

Melissa · November 01, 2006, 12:08:27 AM

I took the cogiati without knowing it's reputation, but I truly answered every question honestly. I came back with probable transsexual. What is interesting was that I was actually happy to recieve this score. I was happy, because if I was transsexual, I could finally live as female. However, I didn't realize the need to be a female is what made me transsexual.

Anyway, what happened next is I started looking back at my life and spent about a month doing that as well as starting going to a support group and starting therapy. Of course I was one with quite a strong female identity. I mean it's now so obvious how female I have always been, that it's a wonder I never figured it out sooner.

110 category three (androgyne) dunno. doesn't sound right to me. i know what i am.

Hi All,

I had a similar experience as Karen. I had been in the worst depression of my life when I finally saw a psychiatrist and got some meds for ADHD and deprsssion. All of a sudden my mind became clear for the first time and I started looking honestly at my life.

So I went on the web and started looking seriously at transsexualism when I found the Cogiati. I read and understood exactly what it is and scored 370, Probable Transexual. So I read what the recommendation was and started to cry.

A couple days later I took the test again and read each question slowly and tried to be as honest as possible. This time I scored a 345. But what really struck me was my answer to the question about if you could take a pill and be content with your birth sex would you do it? My feelings and answer was a resounding NO!

I knew then that I had to find a gender therapist to really sort this out and stop screwing around. So this silly test got me to face myself honestly and start doing the right thing.

Now I'm working with a wonderful therapist and working my way closer each week towards the real me.

So for me the silly Cogiati holds a special place. ( I know, I'm a sap)

With humor.

Kylie
