Diagnostic du Spectre : Identité & Subversion (EN)

Identity is now understood as a multidimensional spectrum: sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, and romantic attraction are distinct dimensions that combine uniquely in each individual. The binary model — man/woman, heterosexual/homosexual — no longer captures the full complexity of human experience, a position now endorsed by the American Psychological Association and the WHO, both of which have removed gender identity variations from pathology classifications. This test explores five axes: emotional and physical attraction, gender expression, cultural and aesthetic codes, social norm deconstruction, and identity self-perception. Through concrete scenarios and questions about daily lived experience, it offers a nuanced mapping of your identity positioning — useful for better self-understanding, identifying tensions between inner self and social performance, or simply exploring without labels. It does not claim to categorize, but to provide structured reference points for more informed self-reflection.

This test draws on the Kinsey Scale (sexual orientation continuum), the Klein Sexual Orientation Grid (KSOG — measuring orientation across 7 independent variables including past, present, and ideal), and Judith Butler's work on gender performativity. It also incorporates dimensions from the Utrecht Gender Dysphoria Scale (UGDS) for gender incongruence and queer social identity measures. Items combine Likert ratings, binary questions, and projective image-choice items to reduce desirability bias and capture both explicit and implicit identity dimensions.
