Strewth, I go to work for a few hours and find this thread has caught fire whilst I'm gone!
OK, my two penn'orth on various thoughts posted since yesterday:
Firstly, to sfem re the COGIATI test - I know it seems illogical and I know Isabelle says it wasn't created by a psychologist, but it very much reminds me of a professional test ( I cannot for the life of me remember what it was called) that I've had to do a couple of times at work in the past. That also had sets of apparently nonsensical questions and then later on appeared to ask exactly the same thing but in a different way. Things like, choose between these two statements, "I like football" and "I like pink" and then later, "I like team sports" and "I like dancing"... I made those up but the point is not necessarily the question, but the combined answers, in that taken overall, it shows a trend not an absolute. If I were answering my own questions here, I would always take whatever was not football, team sports, and anything similar because I can't really conceive of anything worse than team sports! If that is then analysed, it probably in employment terms says that I am a loner, not a team player, or whatever. In COGIATI terms it probably says that I am X% female.
I'm interested in the COGIATI scores that people have reported in this thread. Everyone seems to have reported positive scores whereas mine a few weeks ago was -70 and described as Androgyne. Beverley says hers was 280, but I wonder if that should be -280, because I've seen definite TS's report scores in the high MINUS 200's in other places.
As for Julie, whether yours is 20 or -20, I wouldn't worry, you're nearer to the middle than me and I'm quite certain I'm not TS.
