SAGE.test
Sex And Gender Explorer

VERSION 2.5 / 10 September 2002

Directions:

  1. Each time this page is loaded it should automatically clear out any previously opened pop-up windows. If, for some reason it does not, close any pop-up windows that may have been previously generated by the SAGE test, especially if reloading/retaking the test. Once you leave this page the script has no way of knowing if there are windows created by previous sessions. Close any pop-ups now.
  2. ALLOW TEST TO FULLY LOAD BEFORE BEGINNING!
  3. Before going through all the questions and THEN finding out that your browser or platform were incompatible and incapable of rendering the results you may wish to generate a TEST PAGE. If you can read the message your browser and platform should also be able to process your responses and render the analyis.
    1. If you have any pop-up ad blockers, disable them now, or your test results window will not be displayed.
  4. Once you've determined if your system is compatible, answer the questions as truthfully and honestly as possible. Each question should have a fairly "neutral" option, however if you simply cannot commit to any of the questions you MAY skip them. The default values for all questions are already neutral and will not add to nor subtract from your "score" or the values used to calculate the analysis.
  5. The test is NOT timed, but may take you 30+ minutes to complete. Some questions containing images feature a "flash card" that IS timed and will only display for a few seconds. Once the card has been activated it cannot be displayed again without reloading/refreshing the test page. This test utilizes a JavaScript and has no way to save your answers. If you refresh/reload the page or click the "Back" button on your browser your responses WILL BE LOST and you will have to start over!
  6. Upon completion of the questionaire, click the "Submit" button only ONCE. It may take several minutes for some older, slower computers to process the data and render the analysis.
  7. Final analysis is rendered in a seperate pop-up window. The analysis results page is generated "on the fly" and does not exist anywhere as a file, it shouldn't even be saved in your browser's cache. JavaScripting was chosen because it will protect your privacy by ensuring your answers are not retained nor transmitted and the analysis is neither saved nor shared. You may, however, copy and paste the text from the analysis results window if you wish to save them. A detailed explanation of the results analysis will display in the TEST PAGE window.
  8. Remember, this test will not TELL you what your gender identity is. It is designed to help you EXPLORE and understand your gender identity against "social norms" and clinical diagnostic classifications. It is NOT a substitute for seeking professional therapy.
