Title: Sage test
Post by: KathyLauren on August 09, 2015, 09:36:48 AM
I have seen references to the SAGE test, so I did it.  It said I was 'anallophillic'.

That seems to be a made-up word.  The only online references to it are the SAGE test itself and people who have taken the test wondering what the heck it means. 

Etymologically, it should mean 'not allophillic'.  Turns out that allophillic is another made-up word that means 'liking groups other than one's own'.  So does that mean that I don't like women?  News to me.

I have limited respect for tests like this, with the forced-choice answers.  I don't believe that a question where the truth isn't an option will tell anyone much about me.  Just curious if anyone actually knows what this result means.

What if you want to do 2 things that oppose each other. For example if one wants to be a hair dresser or pilot.

Have a nice day.

You are being exceedingly kind. My honest assessment of the SAGE test would involve words that Susan thankfully does not allow on her forum.
