I did this test: http://www.hemingways.org/GIDinfo/sage/index.htm (http://www.hemingways.org/GIDinfo/sage/index.htm) the second time, to make sure I was completely honest in all the answers that I gave last time, and it gave me the results:

Have anyone else taken this test and think it is trustworthy? It seemed more detailed then another test I found called "the COGNATI". Can tests like that be compared to real tests done by professionals?

Is playing EA Sports Golf like going 18 holes with Tiger Woods? In short. No.
any test that asks me to get a tape measure out is suspect.
I took this test 2 days ago.

There are no real tests. Take stuff like this for fun or to make you think about your answers but don't take them seriously.

Tests like this can only tell you what you already know. They're fun to take but are about as revealing as looking in the mirror.
There aren't any tests that will magically reveal a secret that even you did not know. Most of these tests have a built in gender bias. There are obvious masculine/feminine answers usually. So it is quite easy to skew them to say whatever you want them to say. Even if you answer as honestly as possible you will still only know what your internal feelings are already. And people usually don't need some make believe test to tell them that.
If you want affirmation, go see a therapist. Especially one versed in gender issues. They can only tell you what you already know also, but then they would be able to give you assistance in coming to grips with that knowledge.
Now I have to admit that the trigger for me to come out *was* a test like this. But was only the trigger. It didn't reveal anything I didn't already know. It just made me really look at myself and that started me on the path to accepting that I was a woman and I did have GID.

These can be "accurate" while not really meaning much of anything. FWIW:

Well yeah, therapy, electrolysis, doctors, etc. are expensive. My bank account alone already tells me I'm in the process of transitioning :P
I found the BBC's brain sex online test to be more interesting, but still meaningless. Don't try too hard to read anything from these. The fact that you're asking these questions in the first place is probably a better indicator than anything that you feel something is off. Maybe you know what you feel, but you don't know what it means yet - no test can tell you that, only you can decide what it means for you.

I'm not intersexed, I'm just not done yet.

Take a gander at this (http://www.tsroadmap.com/mental/gendertests.html), Anima. It's a nice primer on gender tests.
Question 5, about housework. There was no good answer. I enjoy it, but I don't find it arousing. It's a good time for reflection and meditation, because housework doesn't take that much presence of mind to do. And it gives me a feeling of accomplishment and contentment to have a clean house.
Question 14, about hair removal. Shouldn't there be an option for "almost everywhere"?
18, rhinoplasty. How about an option for "don't need it."
20, math problem about trains. The correct answer is it can't be solved because they don't tell us what time the trains leave the stations.
77, what age did you know there was a difference between sexes. I know I was 3, and the options don't go that low.
81, clothing of the opposite sex. Which sex would that be?
82, addressed by wrong pronoun. Same problem as 81.
132, Star Trek. We all know how I answered that one. I suppose they will consider that a masculine answer. But I'm so female, I found hooks into the show as a woman. So did my former wife. So this is just not valid at all.

eh, very stereotypical. I'm not good at math or sports, and I'm nice to people. so sue me.
I took this test and scored an 800. For some reason my browser had trouble with a couple of questions though. I feel like it pegged me pretty good though I swear I've seen many of those questions somewhere else. Also I just don't get the whole girls are supposed to be bad a math thing. Some of the most brilliant mathematical minds I've ever met were GG's. Stereotyping, especially in academia, is for nitwits. What makes a girl a girl? I don't think that can be boiled down to simple stereotypes.

Mine too. I had to just take a blind guess on all the picture questions or it would close the whole test down.

Yeah I believe we all had that issue. However all I did was right click on my mouse and clicked on "Back" and the page was loading fine. Either way, I guess we all got through this quiz just fine. :)

I'm curious about how someone with no gender issues would score on the test.
I asked my best friend, who is (what's the pc term now? gee) who is genetic/cis/natal female to take the test and here are her results:

The questions seem to be recycled from other tests I've taken, and some of them seem to me to be only appropriate for MtF people, not FtM.
