The Michigan Gender Identity Test (MGIT) was administered to 52 retarded and 36 normal children to assess the acquisition of gender identity. This instrument required the ability to sort and categorize photographs of boys and girls wearing conventional clothing and with conventional hair-styles. As part of the test, each child was expected to recognize a self-photo and to be able to categorize it as a boy or a girl. In general, a significant correlation was found between MGIT performance and mental age for the retarded children. The performance of the normal children correlated significantly with both chronological age and mental age.
对52名智障儿童和36名正常儿童进行了密歇根性别认同测试（MGIT），以评估性别认同的获得情况。该测试要求具备对穿着传统服装、留着传统发型的男孩和女孩照片进行分类的能力。作为测试的一部分，每个孩子都要认出自己的照片，并能够将其归类为男孩或女孩。总体而言，发现智障儿童的MGIT测试成绩与心理年龄之间存在显著相关性。正常儿童的测试成绩与实际年龄和心理年龄均显著相关。
