I'm finally taking that Sex and Gender Explorer test and checking for errors as I go

[xiphias]

Question 5: no entry for "I enjoy cooking." The only positive association they allow for cooking and cleaning is sexual.
Question 14: no entry for "I don't remove hair from anywhere on my body." Not relevant to me, but still. . .
Question 18: no entry for "I don't want rhinoplasty because I like my nose, but I am certainly that vain."
Question 19: no entry for "I don't have a bipolar disorder -- I have simple depression for which I'm medicated."
Question 20: no FUCKING INFORMATION in the question. How do they expect us to assess how difficult the problem is if the problem isn't actually expressed? "What time to the trains pass each other?" Well, it'd HELP if they mentioned what time the trains STARTED MOVING!
Question 29: no entry for "a hybrid" or "a subcompact" or "a junker."
Question 36: same problem as question 5 -- no entry for "I enjoy it," without it being sexual.
Question 60: no entry for "whatever character type I'd NOT played recently."
Question 65: NONE OF THE CHOICES ARE MONKEYS!! FRIGGIN HELL! GORILLAS, ORANGUTANS, CHIMPANZEES, AND LEMURS AREN'T MONKEYS! And I DO HAVE A FUCKIN' FAVORITE MONKEY! IT'S THE CAPUCHIN! FOLLOWED BY THE SPIDER MONKEY! Ahem. Maybe I take that question too personally. Oook ook.
Question 77: No entry for "Still haven't really become aware of any significant difference between the sexes."
Question 80: No entry for "I have a beard, and aren't particularly passionate about it."
Question 88: No entry for "If money was not a factor, I'd drive a hybrid."
Question 92: No entry for "I'd not do a damn thing about it, and just hope that, somehow, they'd telepathically know."
Question 153: None of the entries are even CLOSE.
Question 159: No entry for "I enjoy needlework."


Well, that's just idiotic.

My Raw Score is 400, which indicates that overall I am androgynous. That's wrong.
My appearance is masculine. Well, yeah, balding, hairy, and bearded. Yep.
My brain processare mostly that of an Androgynous person. Apparently, this means that I'm not an idiot who's brainwashed by society into only doing what "Real Men Do".
I appear to socialize in a feminine manner. Whatever.
I believe I have mild conflicts about my gender identity. No, I don't.
Born male. Yes, that's right.
ANALYSIS
Male to female possible transsexual.

Now THAT'S incorrect. I'm not.

Boy, this is a poorly designed test. The disclaimer says as much -- the author doesn't even think it says anything reasonable.

I took this one a while back and was annoyed. I don't remember my exact results, but I do remember that they thought I should buy a pair of balls ASAP. Sure, I'm androgynous, in the test's rather limited view, but I was born female and plan to die that way.

Seemed to me that almost everything on that test had some sexual association. And I don't know HOW to fix a car beyond taking it to the Car People, so I don't. I don't hate it, I don't love it, it's just not something I do.

18. I like my nose fine.
20. I was looking for the answer that contained your objection and almost clicked the button for "I can't tell what you're asking!" for that reason.
29. No entry for "feet" or "bicycle", was there?
60: Obviously not written by a gamer. Being an elf/dwarf is not incompatible with any of the other choices. (For that matter, the other choices are not incompatible for dual-class characters.)

Anyway... point being that I was not particularly impressed either.

Most of you issues with questions problem with rather
open ended questions on multiple choice tests.

I have to agree that it looks like a very bad test.
For one thing many of teh answers are very obvious
on how they are weighted (all eth "men's" and "women's work answers).

I am totally with you on question 5, I love to cook,
don't like to clean that much.
