Again, grain of salt, internet is not a medical professional and so on. But I like doing that test every few months or so, because bar graphs pretty.
My biggest caution about this test is how some questions ask about your beliefs about society and gender in general. Someone could be a cis woman through and through but also recognize that someone's gender can change over time, or dislike the gendering of a lot of things in society. I think it reads knowledgeable people who give a shit as being a little bit fluid and a little bit agender no matter what they actually experience of their own gender.
This was my experience taking that survey as well. I am pretty comfortably cisgendered, but the test flagged me as agendered, with the #2 category being genderqueer. I am assuming this is because I answered several questions disagreeing with traditional gender identities (read: toxic masculinity) and not having to put much conscious thought into my expression of gender.
The test seems to count a number of items against being cisgendered that I really think should not be the case. Someone can disagree with traditional expressions of masculinity and still consider themselves male.
That certainly seems to be case, yeah. But I think if someone has given this topic enough thought, they will recognize that and know what to make of the results.
And just generally, these tests surely can point someone in the right direction, but they're absolutely not the ultimate tool to figure it all out. As long as people keep that in mind, they should be good to go.
This test is kinda stupid. What the hell should I answer to this:
I don't care about that. Call me whatever.
Most questions seam to be about gender expression, but I don't actively think about that. I don't actively try to express myself as the other gender.
Well, that would mean you never felt that people were incorrectly assuming anything, since you don't care. At least that makes the most sense to me
Yes, but this question probably isn't about that. I think its just asking if you're cis or not.
Technically correct though.
It's good that you're viewing this critically, tests like these shouldn't be taken too seriously, they're just a rough gauge if anything.
They can serve as a pointer, but they'll never be as accurate as some proper and honest introspection.
Yes it's technically correct, but this test specifically feels like it's designed to validate what you're already feeling and is basically useless if you're completely unsure.
Getting the confirmation that I'm unsure was quite helpful to me, but I get what you mean.
Damn, online quiz, why you gotta come at me like that?
Great question for people who've never been in a relationship, right?
