hi....just took this test which is suprising. I got 185 probable Transsexual. Now i am not one to think about myself too much but things, events in my life seem to be now clicking into place. although this is not a for sure test it does for me clear some things up as i am one who really has no idea but know that i am not a 100% male. People have said i do and act very fem even my wife does. Anyway heres the link

take care

Sandra, although these tests are for fun maybe, they could still have an uncanny acuracy. After all, even if the generalisations the test is built on are not exact, the "near enough" factor could win through.

Even if the test designers admitted to the tests inacuracies, the results could in a relevant time frame still actually reflect enough data to draw some conclusions that are maybe more real than is first envisaged.
There's more than one way to look at stats.

And I agree with you about the shortfalls you describe about the shrinks, although they are in a position of processing the diagnosis by I guess, "elimination". Thats better than nothing, although obviously not good enough.

And I wonder how many cases they see have or could have maybe similar symptoms but are not actually t-anything? I personally have not a clue, but I think there probably are some.

Do you think that one day a test of some sort might emerge?

If thats by a process of elimination is that accurate?

Do we know what we are not, as much as what we are?

One day I feel there will be a way.

Whether the shrink's will have such a tool from their own ideas I know not, dealing with the complexities of the developed mind is sort of looking at the smoke after the fire is out, tricky stuff.


love and light
are stats right?

While I agree these test are just for fun really, I have found that doing the same test twice with two years in between has made a very significant change in the result I got.

The first time I did the cogiati, I got something like probably trans, better go and have a talk to someone sort of result. The last time I took the result it basically said TRANSITION NOW!! you ARE a transexual. To which I replied, "der thats why i take so many hormones!!"

So maybe there is something of a rough pridicter of it after all. As I agree with the way the results went for me.

There you are i just did it again and got class 5 and a score of 450.

I just took the test and scored 285, class 4 probable transexual. Not really surprised as I've taken it a couple of times before and scored about the same. I'm really not sure how accurate this test is but it is a good indicator that I'm not 100% male This doesn't mean though that I'm going to be seeing a gender specialist, starting hormones and planning my srs in the near future...although I wish I could. Everyone's situation is different, and right now I could not see myself starting down the path to becoming the woman that's hiding inside me. At least that's how it is for me now.
Denise, does your wife know how you feel?

Hugs & kisses,

Monika

Monika,

She knows i dress from time to time and one time i gave her a picture. She wasn't happy to say the least. I got out of the situation by saying i was bored and it was for a laugh. Since then i recently supressd it all as i am good at that. Now though the desire to dress and be fem is more intense. I dont get a sexual kick out of it but i honestly feel at ease and happy when fem. My thinking also since i accepted has changed too. I notice more things and tend to watch women and how they are and what i think of the clothes they wear and there hair. sounds silly i know but not to me. I will have to tell my wife once and for all and take what comes. I know that if i deny what i am and supress my true feelings things will only get worse. too be honest its all really scary... i like the known...not the not known. does this make sense?

Well thanks for listening to me rattle on.

On the subject of the test. I think it serves some purpose but its not a for sure test. I dont think there is such a thing. I think deep down you know. its there, its just a matter of accepting as like me i resisted.

kisses

Denise.

I, too, have taken the test and it comes back as probable transsexual. (To which my brain goes: "Duh! But, NOW what do I do?").

Sincerely Yours,

Kari

Kari,

I know exactly how you feel there. I think for me i will spend more time thinking on this and to listen to my feelings. The old gut feeling i think to be honest just go with what you are and see how it progesses. There are so many wonderfull ladies here who are so much more experianced then me that are here to help. We are lucky to have them here to listen.

Hugs

I took some tests recently for fun aimed at normal(?) male female rather than a specific target.
brain types, aptitude etc
All came out female every time
the targeted test (cogiati) gave me 330,,,,later retakes settled to 250 - 300
If i take even a fun test.........girl.
Well ain't that just how it goes.......
nice to pass one real test in your life
or is that the real life test?
love and light
no calc tonight...! (yipee!)

After reading this I had to take it lol, here's my results:

Your COGIATI result value is: 440 Which means that you fall within the following category:

COGIATI classification FIVE, TRANSSEXUAL
What this means is that the Combined Gender Identity And Transsexuality Inventory has classified your internal gender identity to be female. According to COGIATI, your mind and gender identity is that of a woman.
You essentially fit the the model of the classic transsexual, and you should not ignore your gender issues, they will only become more severe.
You definitely need to seek treatment.

hehe, class 5, if I was a tornado I'd do some damage!

Well, its a giggle, even if I did smear my nail varnish doing it!
Scored 385 what ever that means lol

Denise,
I think you are talking about the COTCHI test i would not worry at all hun they just really give you and idea what you may have to consider.
The first and last time i did that test i had a result of 465 so don't get all upset about it.

Hugs
Sara

guess what i just re-did the test for fun and got 405 it must be a boy day ?????? lol

I took test and got -20 which is classification THREE, ANDROGYNE.

Maybe it's because I'm a Libra...

Kim

Last score: 495. Class 5.

Taiphoon Minako is at it again.

I've taken this test for the last time; I used to take it once a year but found that all it did was reinforce what I already knew, deep down.

There is some basis for fact with these tests, but Sandra is right. There is no truly accurate test for transsexuality--yet--but I have no doubt there will be one eventually.

**evil grin**

There's just too many of us to NOT develop one...!

Luv 'n hugs,

Dr. Minako Sakura

I take these tests with a pinch of salt, but they always tell me I’m probably transsexual so they can’t be all wrong, so Natalie does have a point.
I would say, if you think you’re probably transsexual then you probably are.
Welcome to the site, Denise.

Denise, you sound like a sensible girl, i'm sure you will do whatever is best for you. Good luck whatever happens.

ps You're in Switzerland, do you like Andreas Vollenweider?

I came out as class four - probable transexual. No surprises there!

Would I ever transist? Probably not, too much to lose. If I could start again would I transist? Almost definately.

Still, since we can't turn the clock back, as long as I can express my feminine side, I'm happy.
