I´m very definitely non-trans and I know it. But I haven't actually seen a test that might get this right more often than not.

Any suggestions?

Try this test:

I'm sure it has been posted a lot of times on a lot of forums.

Here's what tsroadmap thinks.

"Anne Lawrence states: "I think that both the COGIATI and the Moir-Jessel tests are little more than pseudo-scientific nonsense, and that anyone trying to figure out his or her gender identity issues would be well advised to ignore both."

I agree with this assessment. Because this test takes Brain Sex to be a valid scientific platform upon which to base its premise, it is as flawed at its core as the Brain Sex book is.

For a little comic relief, I recommend taking the DIANATI, a very funny spoof on the COGIATI."

I'm interested in what evaluation someone who has been diagnosed as trans actually went through. I doubt it was Cogiati.

The question is, what is the real test?

You wrote previously, "I'd be interested to know if you are aware of any test that you believe sorts out the trans from the non-trans."

I guess I should have read more carefully, because by posting the link to COGIATI I implied that I "believe" it does what you ask.

The fact is, I neither believe nor disbelieve. I offered it only because I knew of its existence, and that others have taken it seriously. I cannot vouch for its scientific veracity or credibility.

Gender Dysphoria is self diagnosis based.
Gender Clinicians will use the stuff said by the person, over a period of time.
Consistency.
Look at how the person looks on their future
how they view their past
aspects of gender disconnection
awareness of implications
and consistent in their desire to permanently adopt the opposite gender.
Usually accompanied by the desire for various surgery's
In the case of M2F: SRS, FFS, breast aug, Face hair removal HRT and so on...

Or don't.
The cogiati test has no validity in anything outside a pop quiz.
Certainly no scientific basis.
Also it plays to gender stereotypes from, oh, about 1955.

Anyone who uses cogiati for ANYTHING other than idle amusement
is misleading themselves.
DON'T DO IT.
(least not in a way to find out anything about yourself)
