Just Took The Test

Hi,

I just took the COGIATI and scored a 140 in probable transexual. I might have been dishonest on few questions or there were some dealing with a situation i never been in before. There was a question about growing hair and i'm an african american male and i can only grow an afro; it would be good to grow different hair. I think i should've scored somewhere in androgyne. But i shouldn't take this test real seriously, should I?

Hi Deandra,

The Cogati isn't too serious, at least from my POV. It's a bit of fun - you can see what things make up your "girl" side as well as your "male" side. But it's based on many stereotypes, and we know that just doesn't work! Nonetheless, I think my score was about the same as yours - and it's not too far off the mark...

Love, Kat

I agree with Kathleen. I also think that reading the questions seems to tell you more about yourself than the results. I found that when I took the test, just reading, thinking about, and answering the questions told me a lot more about myself than the numbers did.

Although the test is not to be taken seriously as a diagnosis, I have noticed that it seems to give you the result you expect. There was a thread about this and a lot of people who were placed in category five said that they weren't surprised. I scored in the same category as you, Deandra, and it was exactly what I was thinking. The test seems to be pretty good at telling you what you already suspect.

OMG!! i'm not sure what or how high the scores goes but I just

scored a 285 on the "COGIATI" test. WOW!!! I'm going to copy an

paste what it said:

Your COGIATI result value is: 285 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.

All I can say is WOW!! Course I already knew what I am but this test

really helps my confidence :)

Well I just took the test and scored about the same as the previous times - 440 Category Five Transsexual.

I guess it is OK to continue on the Hormones, I wasn't too sure with only my therapist and Two Doctors opinions to go by.

Still the test is sort of fun.

Love ya,

Sally

I played it conservatively by shaving off one degree of "feeling" on questions where it was obvious and got a 225. I hope I have a deeper complexity of identity than "probable transsexual," though.

Taken this a few times over the years, don't put a lot of weight into it as the questions seem rather vague.

My latest result 225 classification four, probable transsexual.

Folks....the test is geared with mainly stereotypical type answers....

Take the first time and be honest....look at your score....

Now, knowing how the questions are framed, you can "cheat" and get a very high score in which ever direction you desire the next time you take it!...

Take these tests with a grain of salt...

After I took it the second time, I scored so female, I should be having babies by now!

LOL

That test was the single largest waste of time I have had in forever. I took it a week or so ago and the same question repeated over and over. Do you like math or English? Do you regocnize how someone feels by looking at them?

I scored a 185. Probable transsexual. I could gave scored a -185 if I wanted.

I can tell you without question, I'm transsexual.

Shelly.

      I have read some of it, mostly in areas specifically targeted at the LGBTQ+ peoples.   You also have to take into account what and who is behind the words, not just the words themselves. Together that creates context, right? Let's take some examples, under the Department of Health & Human Services section:   "Radical actors inside and outside government are promoting harmful identity politics that replaces biological sex with subjective notions of “gender identity” and bases a person’s worth on his or her race, sex, or other identities. This destructive dogma, under the guise of “equity,” threatens American’s fundamental liberties as well as the health and well-being of children and adults alike."   or   "Families comprised of a married mother, father, and their children are the foundation of a well-ordered nation and healthy society. Unfortunately, family policies and programs under President Biden’s HHS are fraught with agenda items focusing on “LGBTQ+ equity,” subsidizing single-motherhood, disincentivizing work, and penalizing marriage. These policies should be repealed and replaced by policies that support the formation of stable, married, nuclear families."   From a wording perspective, who doesn't want to protect the health and well-being of Americans or think that families aren't good for America? But let's take a look at the author, Roger Severino. He's well-quoted to be against LGBTQ+ anything, has standard christian nationalist views, supports conversion therapy, etc.   So when he uses words like "threatens the health and well-being of children and adults alike" it's not about actual health, it's about enforcing cis-gendered ideology because he (and the rest of the Heritage Foundation) believe LGBTQ+ people and communities are harmful. Or when he invokes the family through the lens of, let's just say dog whistles including the "penalization of marriage" (how and where?!), he idealizes families involving marriage of a "biological male to a biological female" and associates LGBTQ+ family equity as something unhealthy.   Who are the radical actors? Who is telling people to be trans, gay, or queer in general? No one. The idea that there can be any sort of equity between LGBTQ+ people and "normal" cis people is abhorrent to the author, so the loaded language of radical/destructive/guise/threaten are used. Families that he believes are "good" are stable/well-ordered/healthy, specifically married/nuclear ones.   Start looking into intersectionality of oppression of non-privileged groups and how that affects the concept of the family and you will understand that these platitudes are thinly veiled wrappers for christian nationalist ideology.   What's wrong with equity for queer families, to allow them full rights as parents, who are bringing up smart and able children? Or single mothers who are working three jobs to get food on plates?

      Well yesterday didn't work like I wanted to. I met a guy and started talking and he was wanting to be in a relationship. I asked my kids on how they thought of me dating a man and they said gross and said no. I guess it's time to look for women. I think that is going to be harder. Oh well I guess.

      This topic reminds me of the lyrics to the Beatles song, "A Little Help From My Friends."   "What do you see when you turn out the lights?"   "I can't tell you but I know it's mine."   Carolyn Marie

      @Ivy have you read the actual document?   Has anyone else out there read it?
    • Abigail Genevieve
      I am reading the Project 2025 document https://www.project2025.org/policy/   This will take some time.  I read the forward and I want to read it again later.   I read some criticism of it outside here and I will be looking for it in the light of what has been posted here and there.  Some of the criticism is bosh.   @MaeBe have you read the actual document?

      Old topic, but I gotta say my favorites are: "Stop hitting on minors" (doesn't work if you're holder tho) and "Sure as [squid] not you"
    • Carolyn Marie
      Abigail, I think we will just leave the other posts where they are, and the discussion can start anew here.  It is possible to do what you ask, but would disrupt the flow of the discussion in the other thread, and would require more work than it's worth.   Carolyn Marie

      I am in too good a mood to earn my certificate today. I am sure something will happen that will put me on the path to earning it.

      It's likely most cis-women consider a fitting unnecessary "because they know what  they wear" and get used to the wrong size.  The instructions for what your size is are simple and why go to any further effort?  You measure your bandsize and you measure your max and subtract the two to get the needed info for the cup size.  Then you buy the same size for years until it hurts or something.

      Congratulations Lorelei! Yes, it is a powerful feeling to have the documents that say "you are you".
