Gender Dysphoria Test: Explore Your Inner Sense of Self with Clarity
Wellbeing
Take this 5-minute Gender Dysphoria Test to explore feelings of gender incongruence. A safe, private screening tool to help you understand your patterns.
Do you sometimes feel like you are looking at a stranger in the mirror—not because you don't recognize the face, but because it doesn't tell the truth about who you are? For many people, the physical reality of their body and the social expectations placed upon them feel like an ill-fitting costume that they never chose to wear. This persistent hum of "wrongness" can be exhausting, distracting you from living your life fully.
The Gender Dysphoria Test is designed to help you turn that vague sense of unease into clear, understandable patterns. By exploring your feelings about your body, your social interactions, and your internal world, this tool acts as a private, judgment-free space to begin unpacking your gender identity. It is not a diagnosis, but a first step toward self-discovery and validation.
This screening tool is built to cut through the noise of confusion and provide you with a structured reflection of your feelings.
Gender Dysphoria is the distress a person feels due to a mismatch between their gender identity and their sex assigned at birth. It is not just about "liking" certain clothes or hobbies; it is a profound internal sense of alignment—or the lack thereof.
You might be asking yourself:
This test draws on the "Tripartite Model" of gender dysphoria often referenced in clinical tools like the GIDYQ-AA and the Utrecht Gender Dysphoria Scale. It recognizes that gender incongruence is not a single feeling but a complex interplay of physical, social, and psychological factors.
The test consists of 20 questions and typically takes about 3–5 minutes to complete.
You will rate each statement on a scale from 1 (Strongly Disagree) to 7 (Strongly Agree).
Tip: Try not to overthink. Your immediate, gut-level reaction is often the most honest indicator of your true feelings.
We sum your responses (accounting for reverse-scored items that measure comfort/congruence) to place you on a spectrum of indication. This creates a "Mean Score" that categorizes your experience into one of three descriptive patterns.
This test is especially helpful if you:
Please consider seeking professional help instead if:
We don't just give you a number; we provide a narrative that contextualizes your feelings. Your result will fall into one of these three standard categories:
Each result page includes a breakdown of Typical Behaviors, Strengths (like resilience and introspection), and specific Action Plans for moving forward.
A high score does not "make" you transgender, and a low score does not invalidate your feelings. This test simply holds up a mirror to the feelings you already have. Use it as a starting point for a deeper conversation with yourself.
Depending on your result, we will suggest small steps—like journaling, experimenting with pronouns in safe spaces, or finding community—as well as long-term goals like finding a gender-affirming therapist.
IMPORTANT: This online test is for educational and self-exploration purposes only. It is not a diagnostic tool and cannot replace a professional evaluation by a qualified healthcare provider.
If your results indicate a high level of gender dysphoria, it does not automatically mean you require medical intervention. Conversely, a low score does not invalidate your personal identity. If you are experiencing significant distress, depression, or anxiety, please contact a mental health professional or a trusted support organization (such as The Trevor Project or Trans Lifeline) immediately.
Your responses suggest a strong alignment between your physical body, your social role, and your internal sense of self.
You appear to be experiencing a complex relationship with your gender, sitting somewhere between total comfort and significant distress.
