These tests are for screening. A result is not a diagnosis: only a psychiatrist or psychologist can make one, after talking with you.

Your answers are scored on this device and never sent. Only your result is saved, with the email address you confirm.

Before the test we send a 6-digit code to your email address. Your result is saved with it, so that our team can help you if you wish. The email with the code contains no health information.

About this test

The Gender Dysphoria Scale is the Turkish adaptation, by Tarhan, Gökten, Tutgun-Ünal and Şahin (2021), of the adult gender identity/gender dysphoria questionnaire developed by Deogracias and colleagues (2007); it measures how dissatisfied a person is with their gender. It is for people aged 18 and over; this is the version for men (there is a separate version for women). It has 25 questions, takes about 6 minutes and does not give a diagnosis.
