Gender Dysphoria Test

[Confucius]

From a psychological perspective I have suffered from being a introvert, with an inferiority complex, and childhood gender dysphoria. I know my gender dysphoria was much more obvious as a child. I used to think that my mother would have loved me more if I was a girl, and I believed that all parents preferred daughters because girls were just better than boys. Girls had all the advantages in life.

Well, I'm grown up now and I believe that I have learned to appreciate my biological gender more. I see great value in being a good husband and father to my children. I think my life has improved and improved over the years. So recently I took a gender dysphoria test and found that I still have some gender dysphoria issues. I think the following gender dysphoria test to be pretty good. I scored a 90. Try out this link and let me know what you think. https://www.mind-diagnostics.org/gender-dysphoria-test

[BrendaPDX]

Okay, 119, what ever that means.

[Robertacd]

Be careful with online assessments, as it is very easy to answer the questions to get the results you want, but not necessarily the truth.

[jacques]

hello Confucius,
I do love a quiz or test.
I scored 98.
I wonder what the "average" crossdresser should score?
luv J

[Micki_Finn]

“Girls had all the advantages in life” lol. I certainly hope this was just your childhood perspective and that you’ve come to realize that pretty much the exact opposite is true. Women get screwed by society.

[AmberLeigh]

I scored a 108, Indicated that I don't have gender dysphoria.

[CharlotteCD]

69, strong indication of gender dysphoria. Not at all surprised.

[FairyCrossdresser]

I got 86. TBH, I suspect there is no straightforward answer to this question; there are after all a whole plethora of reasons that people crossdress, some of them linked more to gender Identity than others.

[Pumped]

To those that missed it, less than 80, Dysphoria, above 80, no dysphoria.

I scored a 106. I guess I am just a cross dresser!

[Toni in nz]

I got 66 answered the questions as truthfully as I could, not supposed about the answer.

[HelpMe,Rhonda]

I think if you were born during or before the JFK administration you should get 10 points subtracted since you were conditioned to hide it much more than kids today.

[Crissy 107]

I scored 106 and was as honest as I could. No Dysphoria for me.

[Stephanie Voorhees]

I got a 77. Not really surprised by it.

[LydiaL]

Some questions a bit too broad. So with a few wild guesses: 106. A plain-jane crossdresser I am.

[amandagurl2014]

103 for me. I dont feel dysphoric, but do like the dressing and being treated as one of the girls by other gg's.

[giuseppina]

Be careful with online assessments, as it is very easy to answer the questions to get the results you want, but not necessarily the truth.

Exactly Robertacd. The other half of the story is putting your personal information in the public domain.

The primary value of these assessments is entertainment. They have no diagnostic value whatsoever. I won't go near them for privacy reasons.

[Kelli_cd]

@Crissy 107 - I got 119. Not surprising to me, really.

[HelpMe,Rhonda]

if anyone is seriously questioning if they are trans, there is a site that will answer that question...

Am I trans? (https://amitrans.org/)

[Suranne]

58 for me - so a strong indication of dysphoria here. Not a surprise mind.

[dominique]

I scored 113 which they say there some traits of dysphoria but not enough to be concerned. In other words I'm a crossdresser only.

[foxy bartender]

I got 49
But I guess I already knew I had gender dysphoria

[SaraLin]

80 for me. Even in this test, I'm borderline.
Figures.

[Crissy 107]

Interesting results, I know it is only an online thing but it can be fun.
Kelli, I expected a lower number for you.

[Nadine Spirit]

hahahahahahahahahahaha............... 38

Uh, yup! I was honestly laughing at the questions though. Five years ago I would have answered many of the questions differently due to quite a bit of denial. I would have gotten a far higher number. It would have probably given me a false perspective. I never did think I had dysphoria of any level. How stupid I was. Well, how about naive.

Enjoy your tests........

[Teresa]

Confucius,
Thanks for the link but I agree with Lydia , the questions are too broad to give an accurate assessment perhaps they should grade them numerically , I struggled with the NB question , nothing really fitted .

My score was 58 , no big deal I'm totally happy living full time , which keeps my dysphjoria in balance .

[MonicaPVD]

That test is a lot of fun. I agree with others about getting the results you desire. I have struggled with dysphoria my whole life. If I were 20 years younger today, the solution would have been straightforward. At this point in my life, the cumulative and interwoven effects of a million decisions have led me to understand that switching teams is not in my particular best interest.

[Trish]

I scored a 70, strong indication of gender dysphoria.

[GretchenM]

I hate to throw water on this, but ... I didn't take the test because these kinds of tests, especially with generalized questions, should be taken with a grain of salt about the size of Massachusetts. Self assessment tests are notoriously inaccurate. They don't prove a thing unless they are interpreted after interviewing the test taker by someone who knows how to interpret the results correctly. One of the largest errors is to assume that if you have dysphoria then you may be transgender. Hogwash! It is true that gender dysphoria (a discomfort with your native gender identity) can be indicative of a person with unresolved gender issues, but a lot of transgender people of all kinds do not have gender dysphoria because they have come to accept who they are and are not at all uncomfortable with that identity. In other words using the dysphoria test to identify whether you are transgender or not is illogical. All it shows is whether you have issues with your native (birth) gender and those issues create a Discomfort in your life and sense of self. Once you fully accept who you are and what you are, dysphoria should go away unless it remains because of other issues.

Furthermore, as others have pointed out these tests taken without having a subsequent interview to tell if you were telling the truth is little more than a parlor trick. Also a person who is exhibiting dysphoria is already in a disturbed state and is more likely than not to skew the answers toward showing a result that is closer to what they want than what is there. That is why the interview by a specialist is so important. I am not saying the test is not useful. It probably is but only in the hands of a person who is able to separate themselves from the answers provided and view those answers in the context of a focused underlying concept.

[Teresa]

GretchenM,
A very good point about the quality of answers . Also the point Nadine made , we can only supply truthful answers if we've already experienced the contents of some of the questions .

I wonder if it raises a broader scenario of being asked the right question by a counsellor , we don't always know how good they are as we have nothing to relate them to . At one point I did ask my gender counsellor if I was only seeking her help to validate my dressing needs ? I have to say she was professional enough to see that one coming but she had to agree it was sometimes the situation they did face.

[Krisi]

I would be wary of any phycological diagnosis obtained from an on-line test. Interesting, perhaps, but not scientific.

[Georgia_Maine]

I think these kind of tests are fun to take, but as Gretchen wrote they should be taken with a LARGE grain of salt. One of the problems with this test that I ran into was how they used the term "gender". Many times I didn't know if they were using gender in a physical sense, one's physical sex, or how one feels mentally and emotionally gender-wise. These can be two very different things and can alter the answers one gives. I personally got a much better understanding of my own gender identity by using Dara Hoffman-Fox's book: “You and Your Gender Identity: A Guide to Discovery”. Of course neither can replace actual counseling with an experienced gender therapist.

[Teresa]

Georgia,
Their actual usage is the normal one when referring to GD .

[DanielleCD]

I did the test just to see, for fun. 106... but what was disturbing was what was on the answer page... treatments for gender dysphoria. Like this is a disease and it needs to be treated.

[MsEva]

I would agree with that LydiaL. I scored a 94. I think some of the questions had gray areas that couldn't be answered as accurately as I felt.

[Pixie_94]

121 points.

By the way, why is the word "assigned" thrown so much? Since when are we talking about homework or a project?

[praderas]

131. No Gender Dysphoria.

[Davina Katherine]

This test seemed better than most. Got an 85. Not so dysphoric, since I see myself as gender fluid.

Pixie, I was REALLY hung up on the use of "assigned" for gender/sex determination at birth. (I work in mental health, so its everywhere.) The word just seemed to indicate a random event. "You there! You are male. You...female. Just because." But if I think of it as meaning "based on observable data, this child has been assigned the male/female sex (or is it gender)." Then it's not so problematic.

[Taylor186]

117 - Your results indicate that you have no, or only a few, symptoms of Gender Dysphoria.

Sounds right for me.

[Miel GG]

80 for me. Even in this test, I'm borderline.
Figures.


Good sense of humour, SaraLin :laughing:

[Gia]

97-Your results indicate that you have no, or only a few, symptoms of Gender Dysphoria.

More confusion than before. What are these few symptoms now ?:brolleyes:

[Aunt Kelly]

This "test" has far more efficacy as the marketing tool that it is than it does as a diagnostic tool. With that in mind, it's harmless fun.
61, by the way.

[Paulie Birmingham]

I scored a 134.

[Jeri Ann]

Took the test just for grins, scored 58. However, I can honestly say that I have zero dysphoria. LOL

[Tracy Irving]

That was a fun quiz. 129 btw.

[Jenny22]

82 .. borderline, but I know I'm 100% TG.

[FrannGurl]

That was very interesting, and it really made you think if you were being honest with yourself....96 here

[GracieRose]

Interesting. I got an 80. puts me right on a binary border. :doh:

[Victoria Kelley]

123- "Your results indicate that you have no, or only a few, symptoms of Gender Dysphoria.".....This was an interesting quiz. Not sure if I was completely being honest with myself though.

[luuv2dress]

Good and Interesting post, Scored a 95

[Teresa]

Aunt Kelly,
I agree it's more a foot in the door for online therapy , I've had two Emails for therapist in the US .

It also has the big omission of asking the question if you've had therapy and what was it outcome ?

[SaraLin]

Good sense of humour, SaraLin :laughing:

Ah, but who says I'm joking? :battingeyelashes:

[Miel GG]

Ah, but who says I'm joking? :battingeyelashes:

:bonk: Laughing at oneself is not easy but very good for the mental health :bs:

[Krisi]

121 points.

By the way, why is the word "assigned" thrown so much? Since when are we talking about homework or a project?

I agree. we aren't "assigned" a gender, we are a gender.

I got a 123. A pretty stupid test.

[GretchenM]

As I understand it, "assigned" refers to the process of a physician looking between the legs of a newborn and seeing what is there and then declaring what they are. This is then followed by placing a pink or blue woven beanie on the babies head so everybody knows what they are because you sure can't tell any other way. So, it is really sex and not gender. But in Western Society where the gender binary concept is accepted as if it is scripture (it isn't) that designation determines what clothes you wear, what toys you receive, and how you are treated as growth begins. Therein lies the problem. Your genitals determine who will become. So "assigned" becomes the first step in a kind of indoctrination to develop in a certain way that is determined by your sex and not your behavior.

Unfortunately, who you will become does not become evident until you are 2 to 3 years old when children are mature enough to understand gender and develop according to the fundamental outline established by genetics and limited experience. In other words, prior to that age children don't actually have a gender identity. So, even though most develop "normally," not all do and that starts the process of forcing the child to behave according to gender-sex expectations.

In a few societies around the world where gender is not linked to sex, a child's gender is not designated until they show signs of what they are which usually occurs between 3 and 5 years old. In some traditional Native American cultures you are not given a name until it is certain what you will be in terms of behavior. Seems a lot more sensible to me because gender is not binary but is a spectrum or mosaic or some such entity that appears later. Let the kid show us who they are before determining what they are instead of deciding for them long before their gender has even developed.

[Kim Summers]

I scored 90 so guess I am what I am.....X x x

[Suranne]

Having looked through the posts on the thread and bearing all the possible caveats in mind, I think that on balace, in terms of generalities and averages, this test has got it about right. There may be individual outliers and people where the score assigned is not correct, but, when you look at this site as a whole the majority here, as shown by the scores on this thread and the nature of posts on the site, are people who crossdress for whatever reason that is. The actual number of people here with mild and even stronger gender dysphoria is much smaller. This test has shown that to be the case. I would say harmless fun in this case. That is as long as you didn't give them your email address and you don't follow up on it. Always seek independent advice and don't rely on something which may, just may have been set up by two men called Ivan and Josef who have set themselves up in a Moscow garage.

[Star01]

It says that my score is 76 which is interesting but the questions are not targeted to the individual as has been pointed out. This will be a nice conversation starter for my next therapy appointment but I agree that a big grain of salt is in order.

[TheHiddenMe]

I think it's a reasonable test. I scored a 125.

First, the scoring. There are 27 questions with five different answers. Each answer is assigned a score from one to five, so the possible range of scores is 27 (all ones) to 135 (all fives). The lower the number assigned, the higher the scoring for gender dsyphoria.The "average" score is therefore 81, which is why 80 would be the "cutoff", so to speak.

I doubt anyone on this forum taking this test would score a 135, because if you did, you wouldn't be on an internet board called crossdressers.com.

Second, in the US at least, you are assigned a sex at birth and your gender, right or wrong, is assumed to be the same as your assigned sex. Making a big issue about the wording about your gender assigned at birth, when that is the common terminology, is silly.

I would think that the majority of the members on this board are of the older demographics, so most of us have been dealing with/thinking about these issues for 30, 40, or more years, and by now have a pretty good idea of where we fall on the transgender spectrum. I would expect the score would confirm our prior thoughts, and would be extremely surprised if someone had a score that was inconsistent with their own self-assessment.

[BTWimRobin]

I scored a 113, FWIW

[Shelly Preston]

As a bit of fun its fine

Please consider the test may have been designed to get you to pay for counseling.

[Teresa]

Shelly,
Yes , so right I've now had three Emails for online therapy from the US .

[michelleddg]

This test is fine for screening, much like the antigen covid test. If you're on either end of the scoring you're good to go. If you're in the middle things are more complicated.

I scored 123, so completely comfortable in my own skin, and grateful for that. Hugs, Michelle

[Michala]

125 for me. Have honestly never felt like a woman or had the desire to be one.. Just sometimes like dressing up and looking like a woman.

[JaytoJillian]

if anyone is seriously questioning if they are trans, there is a site that will answer that question...

Am I trans? (https://amitrans.org/)

Well played! Awesome.

[Asew]

A 93. Despite the test talking about non-binary, so many of the questions were based on birth gender and opposite gender and not very good for anyone who has issues with both genders.

[Felicia M]

if anyone is seriously questioning if they are trans, there is a site that will answer that question...

Am I trans? (https://amitrans.org/)

LOL love the link Rhonda

fwiw an 83 so borderline. no question age, conditioning and life history have a material impact. if i was 20 years younger i would no doubt score lower on the spectrum.

[Marianne S]

Thank you for posting this test, Confucius. I found it most interesting and useful. I'm sure it's accurate for me. Due to differences in interpreting the questions I tried it twice. The first time I got 118, the second time I got 111. This small difference is insignificant. I have some comments on the quiz itself.


Be careful with online assessments, as it is very easy to answer the questions to get the results you want, but not necessarily the truth.

Point taken, but it still has value as a rough screening test, preliminary to further investigation with a counselor if necessary. If people don't try to answer the questions honestly, that's their own problem. And if anyone is repressing their gender dysphoria altogether they're not going to get a true result--but then nobody, not even an expert, is going to get a true result out of them.


The other half of the story is putting your personal information in the public domain. [...] I won't go near them for privacy reasons.

I don't blame you, but I don't see that as a big issue here. What really ticks me off is when I try some online test and it's not until I get to the end that they demand my e-mail address to report the results. To hell with that! I won't give it to them, so I've wasted my time doing the test. At least with this gender dysphoria test the e-mail address is an option we can decline, and they report the results anyway, so it's anonymous enough.


Please consider the test may have been designed to get you to pay for counseling.

I'm sure that's true! But at least they made that an option, too.


...the questions are too broad to give an accurate assessment perhaps they should grade them numerically , I struggled with the NB question , nothing really fitted .

My score was 58 , no big deal I'm totally happy living full time , which keeps my dysphjoria in balance .

This number seems in the right ballpark for you anyway, Teresa. I agree that some questions can be interpreted in different ways, so there's bound to be some arbitrary variation in results. That "non-binary or genderqueer" question was an example. I answered a flat "never" to that question. That's partly because "genderqueer" means I don't fit either sex, which is not true for me. But it's also because I associate the term "non-binary" with some people who would like to do away with the concept of gender altogether!--which is pure wishful thinking and denial of reality. There are two sexes, and they come right out of Nature! Who can argue with Nature? But that doesn't mean we can't be "somewhere in between"--though for myself I prefer to think of it as "switching" between the two. Would I say Yes to being "gender fluid" instead? Maybe, but even that seems too "sloshy" a term. I think more often--not entirely, just more often--in terms of being one sex or the other at any given time. In "digital" rather than "analogue" fashion, if that makes any sense to anyone. But I realize other people might interpret the question differently.

On the other hand, when asked if I'd ever "had a feeling of not sharing much in common with either gender," I was happy enough to answer "Occasionally," even if that's not strictly accurate. There has never been a time when I felt I "didn't belong anywhere," since I always felt happy identifying as male. The only thing is that I don't identify with some traits that men in general are stereotypically (though unfairly) accused of, such as being "dominant," "insensitive," "unemotional" and the rest of that junk. Nor am I heavily into sports, in the same way a great many men genuinely are. So what? I'm a "nerd" and not a "jock." (I hope the high-school cultural implications of those American terms are familiar to you on the other side of the Atlantic!) Still, I identify freely with all kinds of supposedly "masculine" pursuits, from mechanics to hunting to being a husband and father (as Confucius mentioned). So I answered "Occasionally" to that question as a concession to the times I don't see myself quite as "masculine" in certain ways as the "average" man.

What's the bottom line here? It's "Don't sweat the answers!" Just answer to the best of your ability--the way you "feel," if you like--and don't worry if it's "wrong" or "right"! If the quiz is any good at all, it will all come out in the wash, and you'll get a "good enough" result. As I suspect you did. Good luck to you!

[JulesLynne]

91. I wouldn?t consider myself to be dysphoric. For me, I don?t feel like I was trapped or born into the wrong body and I really don?t struggle with my male identity during daily activities. However, I have an intense wish that I could be a woman instead. So I guess I?m half dysphoric - I see myself as a male, I just don?t want to be one all the time. I wish I could flip a switch and be either.

[mbmeen12]

It is def more complicated, than some ambiguous 20 questions of Q/A, I scored....84 FYSA

[Denice]

130. Not surprised at all, given my signature.

[SarahBJackson]

I scored 64 then a popup screen came up. I want to be a woman now!

[Sashauk]

I tried to answer the questions as accurately as I could and I scored 75 and I think that pretty much sums me up.

I would love to be able to change my gender - or at the very least present as female - but I doubt that will ever happen.

[rian]

Thanks for the link ,,,it was very helpful ,,,,

[chris80]

85, on the cusp.Dress whenever opportune, considered BA and FFS but wold not suit my supportive wife. Too long in the tooth.

[JennyMay]

80 but not sure if I answered the questions to get that result or not. As usual ‘It’s complicated’.

[lucy_miller]

107. It?s interesting to see a qualitative score for myself against a range of others on the site and thanks to thehiddenme for a little more insight.

[JeanTG]

73. Yup, feels about right. Right enough that I'm on HRT at the moment.

[DianeT]

Ha, that one is interesting. I answered all questions as a totally non-binary, extreme gender dysphoria-suffering individual: presenting as the opposite gender 100% of the time, totally hating my body, confused all the time with the other gender by people I never met before, dressing full time as the opposite gender, never hesitating between genders, etc. The maximum gender dysphoria syndrome that I could possibly imagine within this test.
I scored... 43/135. Bottom line: I "MAY be experiencing gender dysphoria". Really? What did make you think that?
To be fair, I guess the gender dysphoria in my answers was so radical, the test decided that the responder was totally convinced that he was a woman and therefore did not qualify for gender dysphoria... Hey, that makes sense.

I did the test the other way around by inverting all my answers:
131/135 (No gender dysphoria)
So presumably the 43 I did before was more "dysphoric" than I thought (I mean, maybe "you MAY be" is a stronger statement than you might think for the authors of the test) and I suspect that you can't really reach 0.
Maybe something to keep in mind when you evaluate your own score (if you responded honestly and not to probe it like I did).

[Kalisopwith]

78... not a surprise to me. I have had the feelings of dysphoria before, I just didn't know what it was called

[AmyVanessa]

I got 62.
Gender dysphoria

[JennyMay]

I?ve been thinking about my response to this. Dysphoria basically means dissatisfaction and unease. When I answered the test (my result was 80) I wasn?t sure if I was answering honestly or deliberately trying to skew my response towards dysphoria. But if the latter was the case what does it mean that I want to see myself as gender dysphoric. I am Dissatisfied with being male and would like to be be more feminine. I wish I had been born female. Help! I don?t understand myself.

[donnalee]

86, for whatever that's worth.

[ReineD]

Oh good Lord. I answered as me, not how I think my SO or anyone else would answer. I got an 81 with a recommendation I should seek "online counseling which can be very effective at treating gender dysphoria". And then I did it again, saying no to everything. I got, "your results indicate that you have no, or only a few, symptoms of Gender Dysphoria", with a recommendation to still seek a counselor in case my "feelings, thoughts, or behaviors get worse".

And then there's a link to "tap here" to chat online with a Licensed Counselor who can treat Gender Dysphoria. Good grief. As if someone can make an accurate assessment online. Methinks this is a clever way for a group of therapists to get much needed clients, i.e. a money making scheme for people to take advantage of the gullible. How would they counsel someone who answers this questionnaire while in the middle of a Pink Fog.

[Visitor]

I took the test a few days ago without intending to respond to this thread but after spending a few days here browsing through different threads I decided to comment. I tried to answer the 24 questions as honestly as I could and the score was 106. As I read here, I sense my interest in expressing myself through crossdressing, is different than what I read many here are feeling and doing. I'm not interested in passing. I won't likely use makeup though years ago I tried eye shadow, eye liiner and blush and looked quite stunning. My blue eyes and long lashes have often been commented upon by women. But my beard has been a companion for longer than anyone I've met along the way, so it will likely remain.

I don't identify as a woman trapped in a man's body, but I do have a great desire to feel a brassiere on my body. I find them quite tantalizing and in the short time I've been exploring these feelings I've bought a few. And I don't seem about to stop building that particular part of my wardrobe. So 106 is fine and wearing brassieres in my home, even when I go out seems to be working as well. I appreciate that these feelings can be expressed in so many different ways.

[Denise55]

I got a 95. Not sure if that is a good thing or not.

[JIJI Xx]

this whole thing is something of a puzzle to me..... after all, who says? nobody knows you like you do (anyone). for myself JIJI is just JIJI, don't seeem to need any other label...... I wouldn't bother to take an 'intelligence test' either... trust yourself, would be my suggestion to anyone and everyone.... JIJI Xx
