What Stage are you?

[Guest angie]

lol I took this test like 4 times in my life. Last time I got like a 310 but this time it dropped me to a 290, sigh my girl score went down curiously i just don't care anymore. once I took this test like once a week just so it would tell me I'm a ts and make me feel better XD. every time I've taken this test it's told me I was a class four transsexual lol.

Sara,

Like it told you something you didn't know.You are a TS,but you knew that in your heart of hearts all ready didn't you?The Cogiati is fun,but it is just that,fun.We know who we are,don't need a test

I have taken this test a couple times, once as i was starting therapy, my score then was 190, i just retook it was 220 COGIATI classification FOUR, PROBABLE TRANSSEXUAL.

Took the S.A.G.E. test recently my Raw Score was: 615, which indicates that overall you are Feminine. Says I'm a Male to Female Transsexual, either post-operative or in transition.

Also tool the Personal DNA Test, my Femininity was 78 out of 100, my Masculinity was 26 out of 100.

I been in transition almost a year now, and even though these tests are just for fun they seem pretty accurate.

have been born a girl.I am just doing something about it finally.

255 - COGIATI classification FOUR, PROBABLE TRANSSEXUAL

some of the questions on there were so... neautral in everyway that i find it hard to understand how that would affect a score. but either way, im not surprised by my result. if i had to classify myself, i would say that same. There are no complete certaintys in my life at the moment so to say that i WAS a transexual would be jumping the gun

good test

The Cogiati Test Link

Remember, its not scientific. But it does seem to be very close to some professional Psychological tests Laura took years ago. Jennifer did a nice job. Besides the test was kind of fun. The test link is also on the Fun stuff page of my site.

The recommendations made after your results are received are excellent. She should have been a psychologist. Its interesting to note that test is still talked about as widely now as when it first came out.

My test results have been around 290 every time I have done this teat . Now I am working on the courage to go farther in my life.Brenda Lee

Your COGIATI result value is: 135 Which means that you fall within the following category:

COGIATI classification FOUR, PROBABLE TRANSSEXUAL

What this means is that the Combined Gender Identity And Transsexuality Inventory has classified your internal gender identity to be essentially feminine, but with some masculine or androgynous traits. It is very possible that you are a candidate for a diagnosis of transsexualism. You show a strong degree of gender dysphoria. At the very least, further investigation should be undertaken. Your COGIATI score places you among the majority of those diagnosed as transsexuals, the 'late onset' tanssexual.

SUGGESTIONS FOR ACTION:

Your situation is potentially serious and indicative of a probable inborn gender conflict. It is definitely recommended that you pursue further action.

The suggestions for your circumstance are several.

1.

It is recommended that you seek help from a sympathetic counselor or professional about your gender issues. It is very possible that over time they will become increasingly difficult to cope with. Early determination of what you really need and want is vital. You need to determine if you truly are transsexual. Keep in mind, thought, that many alternatives exist other than complete sexual transformation. Partial transformation and many other way of existing are available. While you are very possibly a transsexual, COGIATI has determined that this is not absolutely certain. While time is an issue, being certain is more important. Proceed with investigation of your possible transsexuality or transgenderism, but with caution.

2.

Some actions may help you to define your needs more clearly. Experimenting with living full time as a woman, taking hormones for a short time under supervision, or taking testosterone suppressers to observe how you feel are all viable options. Keep in mind that while it is very likely that you might be a transsexual, it is not certain. Do not take severe or permanent actions without long thought and the help of counselors and professionals.

3.

Your gender issues are real, and should not be ignored. Neither should you rush into acting on them, however powerful they may feel. You do not fit the full criterion for the rarest classification, classic transsexuality, and so should be cautious, and open to possibilities. You may yet end up undergoing transition, and the path of the transsexual may well be your salvation. Be very careful, but do not ignore your issues.

4.

If you have not already, consider joining any of the thousands of groups devoted to gender expression of various kinds. There is literally a world of friends to discover who share your interests. There are also publications, vacations, and activities that would expand your gender expression.

[Guest Gwyn]

I have taken this test a few times and I always got classification four.

It's true; in essence I am female but I am not transsexual. Transgender is the right label for me. =)

[gennee]

This is the third time I took the test. I graded out as -20. Classification 3, Androgyne. I would be a third sex in some cultures. Though equally comfortable as both genders, I prefer the feminine. I am a transgenderist.

[Guest Nigh]

I think I got a "probable transsexcual" score last time I took it, I can't really remember the exact number though. I thought that was kind of wierd though because there's no "probable" about it.

[Guest NicolaiAE]

LOL I wanted to take that test then I realized it was for MtF's

I did take the S.A.G.E. test though:

Your Raw Score is: -365, which indicates that overall you are Androgynous

Your appearance is Androgynous

Your brain processes are mostly that of a Androgynous person.

You appear to socialize in a masculine manner.

You believe you have major conflicts about your gender identity.

You indicated your were born Female.

ANALYSIS:

Female to Male Transsexual, either post-operative or in transition

NOTES:

Your answers indicate you have altered your physical appearance to look like the opposite sex.

Your Answers indicate your psychological state has likely prevailed since you were quite young.

[Guest ChloëC]

I took this test and a number of others about a year ago (and maybe a few years before that!), and most the results came out as I suspected. Of course, I'm also a good test taker, and I can see through a lot of the validation type questions - like when they ask you the same thing, 2 or 3 different ways in different parts. So a lot of my results depend on how I'm feeling. And how I think my different personas would respond. I usually start by being in my male mode, but then I quickly realize that and switch to my female mode. And yes, we are slightly different.

Back in High School we all had to take this Vocational Inventory test (ex. would you rather dance on a stage or rope cattle) and a friend of mine for each page of the test (about 20-30 questions per page) chose a different occupation to concentrate on. They made him re-take the test. Today he is a successful lawyer. I 'knew' what I was going to be, so it didn't matter what I really liked, I would opt for the one closest to what I was aiming for.

Anyway, they're nice fun tests, and maybe can give you something to think about. I just don't put too much stock in something this open and generic.

[Guest AllisonD]

Interesting test.

I didn't understand where some of the questions were going, but some were obvious.

I got a 505.

But then I came out early, transitioned early, and have been very happy with my gender for a very long time.

I like to think that the result wouldn't matter to me, but it did somehow. The results suggested I see a gender therapist. I have never seen one, but I don't think I need to since I am decades post-op and very happy.

[Guest Joanna Phipps]

Dont know what stage the Cogati says I am but RL i am a fully out woman who just goes about her daily business and to me that is far more important than some test of dubious diagnostic value

[Guest jaymie]

I got a 305 on it which is type 4: probable transsexual. I have taken it before always with similar results.

think mine was 400 something.. I do know that my T score was lots lower at 380(that was pre spiro)

[Guest 71christy09]

I have taken this test several times over the past several years and I have always scored as a Probable Transsexual.

[Guest Heather H]

Well, just given this a go for the first time, and got 320 - Classification 4 Probable Transexual.

A bit of fun for ten minutes, even if not amazingly scientific.

[Guest Kacee]

460 Hmmmm.... Like I didn't expect that.

Your COGIATI result value is: 200 Which means that you fall within the following category:

COGIATI classification FOUR, PROBABLE TRANSSEXUAL

Interesting test, and fairly well put together. Confirming questions, subtle differences in language and meaning, overall good stuff.

Not really sure what it means in the end though, although some of the questions I think were geared towards a more stereotypical girl. Like the walking in the woods one, or anything with an outdoor activity that didn't involve pretend. I knew many a cis girl that loved to climb trees, build forts, and play in the stream and mud. I dunno, we all take our own paths I suppose.

[Guest Kalley]

I got a 305 on it which is type 4: probable transsexual. I have taken it before always with similar results.

I got basically the same,thought it was sorta fun though. I never even knew about it.

Does anyone know if there are any others like it online?

Hi Kalley, the only other one I know of is quite similar...http://www.hemingways.org/GIDinfo/sage/index.htm.

Oh and don't click where it says to on #4, 54, 122 and 154...the link seems to be broken.

[Guest Edu]

I just did the test and got 365 "COGIATI classification FOUR, PROBABLE TRANSSEXUAL".

I have some opinions I'd like to share about the test and the result:

Over 15 pages of all-bold text is annoying and eye-tyring. I'm putting this all in bold just to illustrate the point, and it's just one or two lines.

The choices for some questions are not well-thought enough. Most obvious example, the one about parking: I do not drive, what I am supposed to answer there? Another example, the "Pick the choice that most closely represents the age at which your gender first became an issue or a concern to you." Wouldn't a text-field to type in a number be more exact? If my answer were "about age 6", should I select 5 or 7? At least a hint about whether to round up or down would have been useful.

The "Visualize the following entirely in your head" is, IMO, very badly worded. The thing starts at horitzontal position, then rotates 90º. If we repeat the same rotation three times, we get 90º + 3x90º = 360º = 1 full circle. So the thing ends horitzontal again. The choices give for granted that it ends up vertical (either of the edges is on top or on bottom). This, plus the vague "end over end" phrase, makes me assume it's taking three 180º rotations, rather than 90º each. Maybe it's just that I'm not a native English speaker, but I missed an option to answer "Do you know what are you asking?".

Another one: "It is grade school. The teacher gives you a gold star on your work for excellence. What is it for?" There were no "gold star" things on my school, but I could honestly mark any of the options. I always studied maths on my own from my brother's books (he's two years older!) and even helped him with his homework; I'm good enough with grammar and spelling (may make some mistakes on English, but I rarely miss something on my native languages); and I had won several school poetry contests. What I am supposed to pick here?

I could go on with many other questions. Now, about the results: it says that I'm probably transexual; and I guess the test is probably right. Furthermore, it says: "What this means is that the Combined Gender Identity And Transsexuality Inventory

has classified your internal gender identity to be essentially feminine, but with some masculine or androgynous traits." Of course I have some masculine traits: I have always been expected to act as a male, and have been treated as such, for over two decades.

Another issue with the test: it seems to be taking math and geometry skills as something inherently masculine. In my case, these skills come from a higher than average IQ (I'm not trying to show off nor anything, just clearing things up). For what I have seen, higher IQs are much more common among women than among men. So I think this part of the test is biased and probably adds more noise than precission to the final result.

Finally, I must admit that the actions recommended are good advice. I think they are mostly obvious, but the idea of trying limited hormone treatment (either short-time or only the testosterone suppressers part) is something I had never thought about: I might mention the idea to my therapist on our next session.

In general, an entertaining distraction, with some design issues, which told me almost nothing new. But still fun anyway.
