So, in an effort to deepen my understanding of myself and others, I took a look at some of those online tests. I had some issues with all of them: 1. They asked redundant questions. Sometimes, the answer to one question would make asking a different question moot. 2. They all only did one thing or mixed two things together poorly (i.e. an asexuality test that asks questions about one’s romantic interests). 3. They weren’t open source.
I made this test in an attempt to remedy those issues as best I could. I am fully aware that this is a very rough test and obviously doesn’t include all of the beautiful and vast labels. I hope I still did a fairly good job.
Some of the design decisions include:
- Testing one’s gender identity first to be used later on in the romantic and sexual orientation parts of the test.
- Measuring romantic and sexual orientation in four directions (gyno, andro, ace/aro, bi).
- I also added pan to differentiate between being attracted to multiple genders and being attracted regardless of gender. I thought that was an important distinction to make.
- I added an ace/aro-spec test that includes ace, gray-ace and aceflux (aro, gray-romantic and aroflux for romantic orientations). Being aroace myself, I wanted to test this so I wouldn’t ask aro/ace people to whom they’re romantically/sexually attracted to.
I did a practice round in my fairly diverse circle of friends and they all seemed to think it was pretty accurate. This gave me the confidence to share this with you all. Again, I am fully aware that there will no doubt be people for whom this test will not be accurate and I’m sorry if I didn’t include your label in this test. The way it’s built makes it hard to add microlabels. If you have any suggestions or would like to share if the test was accurate (with or without disclosing your labels), feel free to do so. Thank you for your time.
I got Gender fluid Demi-Gray-romantic Demi-Gynophile. That’s quite a mouthful, but mostly accurate. I don’t actually describe myself that way for a few reasons, but I guess that’s out of scope for this test.
Neato :3… I identify as bi not pan, buut… it’s definitely mostly right uwu
That’s awesome, thank you so much for trying it :)
oh nice! :3
i got Transfem Demi-Homoromantic Asexual, which is how id describe myself i think
one suggestion id make is, at the start of the gender identity test, to replace “what is your sex?” by “what was your sex assigned at birth?” or something like that
medical transition does change your sex in many ways and many trans people who have medically transitioned would put their real sex there instead of the one assigned at birth
(then again i don’t think people who have medically transitioned would get much out of a gender identity test but still)
Thanks for the feedback! I’ll change that (makes way more sense to clarify that)
“Agender Aromantic Gynophile”
I did not expect aromantic to come up, but the other two are correct
Thank you so much. I learned something new about myself today. 💕
Agender (Demi-)Androromantic Androphile. I am a triple AAA title (which also coincidentally explains the amount of bugs in my programming…) 🥲
Maybe add links to a LGBTQIA+ Wiki or Wikipedia for further reading🙂
Also got AAA, but aromantic asexual instead of andro. Nice seeing quizzes use the andro/gyne model for attraction over the hetero/homo one even if I don’t get one of those labels.
Thank you so much :) I haven’t gotten around to adding the wiki links yet, but it’s at the top of the list
Your gender identity result is: Cis male (4 points); Other matches: Agender (3 points) Gender fluid (1 points)
Huh
There’s a tie for the top spot in the romantic orientation test. Please choose which one should be number 1: Aromantic (4) / Gynoromantic (4)
Your sexual orientation result is: Gynophile (6 points)
Hmm, I do wonder how much overlap there is between the romantic and sexual desires. It also makes me think about how much of my romantic desires are actually romantic or just me wanting to have someone close, since I do have some aromantic traits (or, more likely, traits of avoidant attachment)
