Hi, wmpwiwlw,
General consensus seems to be, tests like SAGE and COGIATI are mostly nonsense.
OTOH, they seem to align pretty closely with the people I've chatted with over the years. Confirmation bias, maybe?
There was a "guess your gender" test on Spark eons ago, it didn't ask anything that would specifically match a man's or woman's stereotype. It asked about favorites, which word was more disgusting, which death seemed worse, lots of other outlandish things, but then made a determination based on your answers. Statistically, it seemed to be right about 80% of the time, because given "answer A" and "Answer B", men chose one, women the other, statistically.
Wish I could find it, since I've had to "man up" so much for so long, it would be interesting to see if it's changed for me.
BTW, I learned to game the SAGE and COGIATI, and the quiz at the Albany Gender Clinic site, too...
