WHAT THE TEST MEASURES

About This Assessment

Children's Gender Identity Questionnaire Test

Child Gender Identity Questionnaire Test - Symptoms and Signs

femininity gender identity masculinity

This measure is designed to assess how young children describe themselves in relation to gendered traits and stereotypes. The Child Gender Identity Questionnaire uses developmentally simple prompts to capture children’s self-attributions about gender-linked characteristics.

It consists of 18 items and typically takes about 4 minutes to complete. Responses can support clinical formulation and developmental monitoring by characterizing the extent to which a child endorses traditionally gender-typed versus less gender-typical attributes in their self-concept.

The Child Gender Identity Questionnaire is intended for use as one component of a broader assessment and should be interpreted in the context of age, language abilities, family and cultural norms, and the referral question.
