Like any 'test' that purports to comment on your gender, it is to be taken with a large grain of salt.
In other words, it's pretty much meaningless.

Like other online tests, it is pseudoscience at best based on a lot of dumb stereotypes. In other words: meaningless. Talking to a gender therapist is much better.
The best test I can think of is this simple question:
Do you feel male, female, neither, both or a mixture of the two?
If you don't necessarily ID with your GAAB all the time, you are most likely on the transgender spectrum.

Totally worthless. Confuses gender characteristics with gender identity. Should be thrown out with yesterday's bathwater.
