The Franck Test for gender identity: Correlation with occupation and long-term stability of score in normal men

The projective Franck Drawing Completion Test (FDCT) is assumed to reflex the unconscious gender identity. A community sample of 42 men aged 20-34 years completed the test. A correlation was found between high (independent) occupational positions and masculine scores of the FDCT. After seven years a re-test was performed by 27 men. This yielded an acceptable individual long-term stability in particular of the clinically important gender-opposite scores. The FDCT appears to relate to aspects of masculinity such as activity expansion and outward social commitment. As the test is truly non-obvious to the subject it is useful in the clinical investigation of for instance persons seeking sex reassignment.
