Just took the COGIATI

[Guest Guest_]

I just completed the Cogiati and found out some interesting things about my self. I have always considered myself a cross dresser, but according to the results of the test value of 50 it advised that I was classified as a Three Androgyne. I am not sure what the three is all about, but I went to the Androgyne Forum and read quite a few posts, and I will admit I can Identify with quite a few people. I still like the term cross dresser and am not sure if I'll change my gender selection. I know this will be on my mind and cause me a bit of confusion, but I guess time will tell on how I idnetify myself. Thanks again for such a beautiful place and allowing me who I want to be. Love Amber L.

The Cogiati is by no means completely accurate. Please don't allow it to make you doubt yourself. It may help you to do what you did and look at other options but finding who we are is a more difficult(sometimes) search. It also seems to vary over time, if not moment to moment depending on what we are focusing on. I find that working with a therapist GT has been the best way for me to discover myself. Laura's has also given me a place to explore while not being judged in the process.

Please keep exploring without pressuring yourself to fit any "role".

Hugs,

Charlie

you are welcome, amber i will always respect people and who they want to be. this is a good place for that

but, like charlie said, keep in mind that it is you who must decide who you are, not a test. good luck to you. hugs*

The Cogiati is fun to try, your score means you fit dead in the middle of the genders of everybody by their definition. Up to HRT and SRS, you can adventure into almost ALL gender expressions and presentations and go back to square 1 with only a little harm to your finances and none to your body. Present as who and how you want to be known in safe environments, BUT if you do not find your niche with crossdressing or gender bending, then a Gender Therapist is in your future!!

What a wonderful group of ladies you all are. After going back through and reading more of the forums and reflecting on my own thoughts and from all the wonderful input from you ladies I ve decided that I will stand tall and identify as a Cross Dresser. My inner self tells me this is who I am. I just dont feel I identify with the Androgyne classification. Thanks to all of you who have the desire to take time and help someone make their walk in life easier. God Bless you all. Love Amber L.

How accurate is this test? I've heard about it before, and wasn't sure how it could actually tell you whether you were trans/cd. I have my doubts....does anyone here know the true answer to this question?

[Guest Angel Heart]

Only you can find the true answer...only you can know who you are. but, i will admit, the COGAITI does help guide you, but it should only be used as such.

And about how accurate it is... I actually am not too fond of it. many of the questions asked on it are based off gender stereotypes, and that is an epic fail hahaha. but still - you can check it out and see what it says; maybe it will help you

[Guest CelesteSky]

I got a 330 which was probable transexual I think . I tried to take it as accurately as I could but some of the questions just seemed to focus solely on stereotypes I guess some of the thought processes are there, but really i don't know about it xP It didn't tell me too much other than you might have something going on go see someone. The only thing it did help me with was accepting that I should go see someone for help as it gave me some written validation to what I was feeling c: It was kind of nice to have something tell me flat out like that, even if it is probably horribly inaccurate xD

If it helps, Amber, I ran the Cogiati a few times and each time came out 'Androgynous' Now I think that label is poor because the term is normally applied to those who don't really identify with either sex. But the Cogiati uses it the opposite way - describing those who are happy to express their gender either way depending on mood, etc.

But I do totally go with your interpretation. I'm just the same as you. I don't take the Coghiati seriously but it is a useful indicator. I decided OK - I'm a cross-dresser and the Cogiati helps me feel good about it! I think more of it as a wandering gender expression. I also took the Bem Sex-Role Inventory and that had my gender expression as 75% feminine. The BBC did a similar test and I scored the same result on that.

The best thing is, the tests help, but don't define us. Being true to ourselves is the thing, and I really identify with how you reacted to the tests!
