Wondering how autism traits affect things.


Quite thoroughly from what I'm told. I scored as socializing in an Androgynous manner though I look very Masculine...had to laugh when it mentioned I'm a transvestite which I most certainly am not. Probably it's because I have a hard enough time socializing anyway. Based on the questions I'm also guessing the test is rather biased in favor of a stereotypical postwar Americanized masculinity and when you put that parody in there the whole thing is skewed. (Actually this test has me wondering again, just how many gender dysphorics have got that way because they're autistic & took the world's cues too literally--almost like an over-masking? Because I was wondering, "OK, so why am I considered androgynous by this test" and thought, "Probably because I'm not the extreme-male stereotype." Anyway, I certainly hope psychologists aren't giving this test to people.)
I warned these tests were flimsy at best earlier in the thread.

You're exactly right; I had guessed it would be pretty flimsy and still decided to crash-test it anyway.

I tested as Androgynous and Transexual although there is no truth to it. Admittedly I do have androgynous thinking - independent, a systemizer, non-emotional. And I'm fine with all the many sexual identities - so I guess that makes me a transexual. I thought I was just fair minded and non-judgemental. Who knew!

I wouldn't put a ton of stock in it! If you're "Transsexual" whatever that is, by the measure of a test that stereotypes men and women, how on earth is it supposed to know what people actually are like?

I clicked the link, and then clicked "take the test", and then I got a message that Microsoft edge blocked a pop up from the site, and asked me if wanted to allow the test. So I left the site.

So...since I am too afraid of the site to take the test...that must mean that I am ...a p**** and a queer! :lol:
