Taxonomy upgrade extras:
Well I got curious after Steph (Cyclist) mentioned the Gogiati test in one of her replies so I googled it and took the test.
I scored -50 That is Androgyne 3 and that is eeerily close to my mind set at the moment.
It recommends that I don't go for anything radical and indeed I never had any intentions of doing so. I am happy with my little boy bits and never felt the need to go 'whole hog' for SRS.
However the notes go on to advise that I continue in my transgendered mould that is, dividing my life up between homme and femme periods. Suggesting that I should explore the feminine side further. This again is uncannily close to my life-style at present for I am taking hormones and growing boobs. 4mg Progynova and Spirolactone daily for two years under medical supervision.
Just how accurate can it be!!! I am certainly 'coming out' more but the site still advises caution in my lifestyle. That however, I think reflects the somewhat more transphobic situation that prevails over the pond.
So far I have never received any abuse or threats whilst out en-femme though a couple of kids have asked me about wearing my 'Alice Band' in my hair to keep it out of my eyes when I'm going about my property repairs whilst en-homme.
The kids were 10 and 11 and they couldn't seem to reconcile my quilted workmen's jacket, jeans and boots with my long white hair held up with an alice band.

It's OK to drift a bit genderwise.
For a long time after, I was as feminine as I could posibly be, adamantly refusing to wear anything but floor length skirts, but I can feel myself drifting a bit now, and left to my own devices might actually start wearing men's clothes again at some point. I've been hankering to do a bit of a walkabout in the wilds of Eastern Oregon and a male alone is much safer than a woman alone. It seems attractive to rent a one room cabin out in the sage brush and watch the Milky Way turn during the night; write a little poetry; pen a nice little story ...
For all the struggle we go through fighting to be, life is pretty futile and vain. In the end that which we long for so much is empty and without value. We wind up feeling used up and empty. I wonder what the Coyote would tell me about it all. Maybe I'll go ask.

The Test, giggle.
I took it a long time ago, and was solidly girly. Then I took it about a year ago and was in the middle. What the Hell?

Hey, girly, whatever
People do change over time, I sure you know that. Perhaps it just depended on your mood that day?

COGIATI
I can't speak to the accuracy, and I've been told many times not to trust anything but a good counselor/therapist's opinion, but in lieu of having access to unbiased professionals, I'd have to say "that's about right", for me at least :-) I couldn't remember my score the last time I took the test, so I just bit the bullet and retook it.
Here's Another Gender Test...
I took the COGIATI test and passed it (barely) with an F+
For those of you who haven't seen it here is an interesting
gender test that I found on the Internet a while back....

ANSWERS TO LAST WEEK'S QUIZ, THE NORTH DAKOTA WELLNESS AND BETTERMENT INSTITUTE'S WHAT-YOUR-FAVORITE-BASKIN-ROBBINS-ICE-CREAM-FLAVOR-SAYS-ABOUT-YOUR-PERSONALITY TEST:
SUGAR FREE NO FLAVOR SORBET: Some would call you an ascetic. You favor long term gain over instant gratification.
VANILLA: While not as austere as the sorbet lover above, you're a traditionalist, and somewhat on the cautious side. But dependable and easy to like.
ROCKY ROAD: You're a realist, expecting no special treatment in life.
FUGU SURPRISE: You're never one to play it safe. A restless soul, you continually seek the new and the strange. The music you listen to gives people a headache.
QUADRUPLE CHOCOLATE APOCALYPSE: When you find a good thing you take it to extremes, which gives you a gusto for life but also a propensity toward every sort of addiction. Romantically you work best with Sagittarius; stay away from Pisces.
MR. CREOSOTE'S MEANING OF LIFE MINT: As contemptible as you are you will get your just deserts.

4.))) WHEN I SEE A MOUSE I:
{.A} – Faint.

But mice are kyoot!
Not like nasty COCKROACHES, ergh...

Oh?
Then your answer to #4 is D, I presume. Especially if you are in Disneyland.

Out of curiosity
I did it, had to try and think myself back about thirty years or more. Scored 465 which makes me a Classic transsexual - does that mean as in not dating, like classic clothes?
It tends to be a bit stereotyped, spacial awareness and so on - I just happen to be directionally challenged, and I have the embarrassing memories to prove it. Ask any of the Gabycon attendees. (Blushes) Mind you I have been known to write a bit now and again and I was quite good at English and rubbish at maths.

Alice Band
Alice bands are no problem at all. The obvious reply to any sort of normal functioning male is, "If an Alice Band is good enough for Premier League footballers, it's good enough for me."
If they still carp, say, "If you had hair as long as mine, how would you keep it off your face?"
And if they keep on, you can just say, "My Health and Safety officer insisted I wear it." :)

Very Interesting
Just took this test. Score 100 Androgyne 3.
What I found interesting is the middle sex or 3rd sex. Awhile back my wife and I went to see a claravoyent ( can't spell :) )and she said that my aura was full of pinks and reds. She was a little embarassed thinking I might take that wrong but it was no surprise to me!
I think some real life stuff still colors this test when you answer honestly. Little things like what you played with with your friends or how do you feel about hugging stangers in business meetings. These and similar questions can be skewed by our upbringing. I would love to hug however I have lived in the 6ft 2in 215 lb, broad shouldered, large hands and feet body of an electrician and tought that this is not acceptable. I KNOW that I would be happier as a women I KNOW that I am more fem than not. With my wife and raising our son I can NOT begin to explore. If I could have answered with more of how I wished it would have been than....?
Beverly I really look forward to all of your postings and will be rereading ALL of them soon. Thank you ever so much for all of your time.

That test
I got the giggles doing it because I could see exactly where it was going, and some of the questions were awkward to apply to my life. For example, is my poor reverse parking due to girlhood or to the fact that I have never owned a car? Are my rather good sense of direction and map-reading abilty due to testosterone or years of going mountaineering and coming back alive?
My result? 445. TS, 5.
As I said in my earlier comment, well duh....
That's the funny thing for
That's the funny thing for me. I can tell you where south is in the daytime just based on the sun's position. It's a no-brainer. But put me in an unfamiliar city at night? Forget it. So my answer changes based on the circumstances, and that's just that one question :-)
Parking and true North
It seems to me these two questions are based on untrue stereotypes. The whole 'test' reeks of stereotyping.

Just for fun
I took the test... scored 147...
I had mom take the test. She scored -100.

Hmmm
Your COGIATI result value is: 145 Which means that you fall within the following category:
COGIATI classification FOUR, PROBABLE TRANSSEXUAL
I'm not sure how I feel about that.
Cogiati Test
From time to time I stumble across that test and every time my biggest question is:
What has my talent in maths and the ability to reverse park a car to do with who I am?
My test score varies between 240 and 320 depending how I read the questions.
For some of the questions I have to select the least wrong answer because my "correct" answer isn't available.

I know who I am. It matches their ideas, but....
Curious
I hadn't come across this test before but tried it with an open mind.
I scored 185 which puts me in the "Probable" range. That bit was easy, life is less so.
Topsy
Mostly Harmless
I got a laugh from it
I scored 480 on it last night but I do believe it is a bit sterotypical and mostly hogwash. I live fulltime and most if not all of the questions are tailored towards someone who hasn't transitioned.I suspect for most just like it was for me it didn't take a written test to figure out who you are.
Your COGIATI result value is: 480 Which means that you fall within the following category:
COGIATI classification FIVE, TRANSSEXUAL
Godfrey, don't have a crisis over it !
So, anyhow I finally got round to looking at the Cogiatti again, but this time I looked up the author, and she is T herself! Wallah ! (I swear to God) I do not see any sort of qualifications that would make her expert enough to write a valid test like this. So, in my opinion, it was a bit of fun for her and should be taken accordingly. :)
Besides, I was not happy with the results, and I just know that I am so girly that I perspire in PINK! snark snark.
