Fortunately I remember the score, and type, so was able to crib 'what this means' from Alexandra's post.
So, here's my result:
Your COGIATI result value is: -5 Which means that you fall within the following category:
COGIATI classification THREE, ANDROGYNE
What this means is that the Combined Gender Identity And Transsexuality Inventory has classified your internal gender identity to be essentially androgynous, both male and female at the same time, or possibly neither.
In some cultures in history, you would be considered to be a third sex, independent of the polarities of masculine or feminine. Your gender issues are intrinsic to your construction, and you will most likely find your happiness playing with expressing both genders as you feel like it.
Perhaps my score says something about my inability to save the result of my test--I'm also pretty hopeless at reverse parking, and catching balls (no double-entendre intended).
In any event, I think the test is about as accurate as the horoscopes in newspapers, though amusing to do.
Frankly, I like being a hetero man, it's just that at times I want to be a 'lipstick lesbian', and I really enjoy that too.
What is more interesting than the test is reading other people's feedback on their own results.
I can see this topic running for some time.

I wrote the above without having seen SharonRose's post explaining the methodology behind the test. Hi SharonRose, that was a v useful piece of info that only a vapid 'dumb blonde' like me could miss.
The classifications are as follows, quote: The breakdown is thus:
-650 to -389 Class 1 (Definite Male)
-390 to -129 Class 2 (Feminine Male)
-130 to 129 Class 3 (Androgyne)
130 to 389 Class 4 (Probable Transsexual)
390 to 650 Class 5 (Classic Transsexual)
The sexual gratification-based, fetishitic transvestite would fit Class 1
The mostly sexual / fetishistic but slightly gender involved crossdresser fits Class 2
The serious transgenderist fits Class 3
The most common type of transsexual (well over 70%) fits Class 4
The rarest, early onset, 'classic model of early research' transsexual fits Class 5 :unquote.
On that basis, I was a Class 1, but have developed into a Class 2, yet the test has me as Class 3. Interesting, huh?
Well, whatever, I still enjoy it, and do no-one any harm, including myself.

I tested -20 androgynous. This is what I pretty much expected. Everything in my life is about balance. I know I'll never be Ms. Perfection Paint and Body. I love dressing & using makeup as a female but I don't tend to worry whether people can 'read' me or if I have a run or ten in my stockings, etc. I like to look very feminine but I doubt I would ever get and sort of medical procedures to enhance this (although I would like to get rid of my facial hair & get a larger bust, if it weren't too much trouble...)
