Your Gender Aptitude Score:
66
You have a range of possible scores from zero to 255, and if you haven't guessed it by now, when it comes to your Gender Aptitude (GA), smaller is better. But don't fret, please. It's just an aptitude, and like any other part of human potential, with a little or a lot of work you can always improve. Let's see what the numbers translate into.
If your GA was:
Then your Gender Aptitude Level is:

0 - 60
Gender Freak: This was child's play for you, wasn't it? Either that or water in the desert, huh? Just realize that you're not alone. Whatever it is you're doing, just keep on doing it and have fun being your gender freaky self!

61 - 100
Gender Outlaw: Honey, you're too far gone to make the climb back up to 'real' man or 'real' woman, working not only on your own gender, but the subject of gender itself for quite some time, huh? I'm willing to bet things are still a bit scary and a bit serious for you in your life. Your next step would be to let yourself explore some of the place that really thrill you, no matter the social taboos. Just be kind and compassionate when you are doing it.

101 - 175
Gender Novice: Gee, it's like you have one hand in respectability and the other hand someplace where both of you like it. You're not always taken for 'normal', are you? In fact, you probably get an infrequent but regualar bout of the gender willies from time to time, don't you? And a lot of this gender stuff is probably kinda new to you ... a little scary and a little thrilling, right? Maybe it's time to explore exactily what scares you. Go on ... you know how to be gentle with yourself.

176 - 235
Well Gendered: Hiya, Mister Man! Hello, Ms. Lady! Look, I know that all this 'gender-as-construct-or-performance' stuff might sound weird, but the world is changing. Maybe someone you know is exploring gender. It would probably pay off to study more of this stuff, if only to help you get along with them, and to keep up with people who are going to be living more and more outside gendered 'norms.'

236 - 255
You're Captain James T. Kirk!: Omigod ... I've always wanted to meet you! Look, when you boldly go where no man has gone before, it's us freaks you're going to meet up with. Honey, we're what makes life worth exploring.

So, there you go. Is it accurate? Yes. Is it a big deal? No.
Now you know more about your relationship to gender than most people in the history of the world.
Isn't that neat?

I just took this test on this website (http://cydathria.com/cgi-bin/SurveyShow.pl?script=gat&page=/ms_donna/ga_test.html). I only did it to see where I scored on this extremely-accurate scale. I mean, my score DEFINITELY describes me. I am a Gender Outlaw through and through!
