I tried to accomplish the test but stopped somewhere in the thirties. I doubt that it was designed by experts or scholars, if it was it wouldn't use phrases that are so obviously gendered nor ask questions that are so obviously gendered. Why not? Because it provides people with an opportunity to answer dishonestly just to procure the results they hope for.

I feel that quizzes like this are absurdly irrelevant. I would LOVE to see a quiz created by professionals, but I really hope this wasn't because it's quite unprofessionally constructed.

I'm genderqueer, just for info sake. Most of my thoughts during the answering of the thirty some questions I did get through involved eye-rolling. "Yea, I love doing house work it's real "MAN'S WORK""?! Are you KIDDING me? My cisgendered mother loves handywork. Come to think of it, I'm quite certain she would have gotten a "female to male transitioning" result as well. Lol, maybe I should let her know who she is.

((Note, if you identify as trans or genderqueer, you probably don't need a quiz to inform you. Limbo is a good place to be , I've never left))

Haha yeah... I tend to have an inability to avoid things like this because they are so tempting to take even if they are bullshit x_x

I doubt any one questionnaire could give real results anyway.

But I wouldn't discount a third person inspection; otherwise there wouldn't be individuals who go into therapy only to find a different answer to whatever they might've thought they were feeling.
Our cognitive processes are biased based on personal feeling etc. What we conceive to be a problem or occurring within ourselves could be something else.

Some of the questions are really gender oriented I agree(looking back through it now)... but that doesn't stop people from thinking of them in such a manner.
But yeah the GID one is not made by professionals, the actual SAGE test is to measure mild cognitive impairment and dementia and there's information on it at Ohio State's website... XD
I just took this a while ago because I googled "Gender Identity Disorder" to see if there was more in-depth information about it or available case studies and I ran across that as a link from another website so clicked and took it...

andnowifeellikeanidiot 8'D for even wasting my time with the stupid thing. OHwell live and learn.

You hit it on the head with "tempting to take even if they are bullshit". I've taken too many excruciatingly long bullshit quizzes in my life to compel me to complete that one in specific, but to this day if I find one intriguing enough, I'll likely sit through the duration of it. (Often to find that it provides the answer I wasn't looking for and then I become upset about it's pure bullshitness).

We are human and easily amused!

Professional here! I'm an academic, and I do work on gender, identity, and narratives.

"if it was it wouldn't use phrases that are so obviously gendered nor ask questions that are so obviously gendered. Why not? Because it provides people with an opportunity to answer dishonestly just to procure the results they hope for."

Not quite, in my opinion. If someone is going to "answer dishonestly" because they desire a certain result, that certainly says something about their gender identity, doesn't it?

The biggest problem, I think, is that this test purports to TELL YOU what your gender identity is. A responsible researcher would absolutely not claim that we can tell anyone how they identify. That shit is subjective, all the way.

In my work, for example, I just ask people how they identify. Androgynous? Masculine? Feminine? Transmasculine/fem? Queer? Fluid? Etc, etc. If I want to know the specifics if that identification (like, for example, whether they identify with and enjoy traditionally masculine work, like fixing things around the house, or traditionally feminine work, like tending to the home), I'll start with asking them to identify themselves, and then I'll ask them which work they prefer. Critically, their answer would NOT undercut their self-identification (if someone identifies as masculine but says they like to tend to the home, I wouldn't interpret that to mean that they're more feminine than they think).

So, long story short, you're probably not going to see a test like this from a professional, unless they're a shitty professional.

That said, it's an amusing quiz if you think of it as equivalent to those "what meme are you?" quizzes, or whatever. It took me I was androgynous. Shocker.

I have not taken this test but now I am curious.

I feel like most of these tests are bunk. No test can determine your gender identity or needs for medical procedures-- only you can. That's not to say don't take them. They can give you interesting things to think about, especially if you're questioning. Just don't rely on it too much, an don't believe everything you read from a test.

Yeah most of them are but it's still interesting/amusing to see the results and how the test is gone through. Hehe
