Someone posted the so-called ‘sissy test’ in a thread in another online forum and I took a look. Apparently it originated in internet subcultures and is probably a parody of online tests for personality or whatever and also a commentary on many gender stereotypes. I found it online years ago in a number of meme pages on the web, where people were using it to ‘diagnose’ each other in a seriously humorous way. The test is not based on any psychology or academics.

This kind of thing evolves rapidly. I assume someone initially created the test as a joke for their friends, which then rapidly got spread far and wide by everyone else because it was so hilariously over-the-top. Now, some people get really into it and declare others to be various types of gendered stereotypes without ever realizing that they’re completely, utterly missing the point. Meanwhile, the rest of the internet pretended to take it seriously for a while, and then made increasingly witty wackiness out of it before moving on to the next ‘novel’ thing and forgetting all about it. Until it becomes an accepted part of online culture and suddenly everyone ‘remembers’ it and starts forwarding it to all their friends.

This thing is one of those really annoying but sort of fascinating internet things. It’s clearly a joke, meant to satirize stereotypes, but I have no idea who made it or why they’d do such a thing. My bet is that it was some cartoonish poster on a really obscure online forum posing as a quiz. The questions are so goofy that they sort of collapse under their own weight and become funny. (This thing would make a lot of people very angry, no doubt. The internet is full of such in-jokes that get loose from their origin and take on a life of their own.)

I learned about the “sissy test” from a friend who’s into meme culture. The sissy test seems like something that would be created on 4chan or early Tumblr. It feels very random = funny. The test contains questions which are all very ridiculous and even sort of nonsensical. It wasn’t created by one person but instead was created by anonymous users on the internet who try to comment on how gender works in our culture. The reason for the test is to get a reaction out of people. Some people use it to mock what they see as toxic masculinity, while others are just straight up having fun assigning random labels to people.

It’s sort of funny that online quizzes such as the “sissy test” can gain so much traction on the internet. These tests are so much different from something like the Myers-Briggs personality test, which pretends to be somewhat scientific. The reason that “sissy test” are shared so much is that they are funny, and for now, internet culture runs on sharing lots of funny jokes and trivia tests, even if they’re all created to be really stupid.

What is the sissy test in psychology?

The term 'sissy test' isn't something you'd find in modern psychology textbooks—it’s more of a historical curiosity that pops up when digging into outdated gender studies. Back in the early 20th century, some psychologists tried to measure 'feminine' traits in boys through bizarre experiments, like observing their toy preferences or reactions to 'girly' activities. It was part of a misguided attempt to pathologize gender nonconformity, which today we recognize as harmful and reductive. I stumbled across this while researching the history of gender norms in psychology, and it’s wild how far we’ve come. Contemporary research focuses on understanding gender diversity rather than testing 'deviance.' It’s a reminder that even science can carry cultural biases, and it makes me appreciate how much more inclusive modern psychology strives to be.
