Why does my pop-up blocking software stop me from taking the test?
The Sex ID test appears in a series of pop-up windows. You may have to turn off your pop-up blocking software to take the test.

Can someone else see my results page?
When you've completed the test, you'll receive a page of results that lists your scores and puts them into context. This page will not include the personal information you supplied during the test.
If you are using a public computer, for example, a shared work computer or an internet cafe machine, others could use your log on name to see your results page. That's why we advise you to delete your results when you've completed the test. If you want to keep your results you can print the results page.

Can I quit the test and delete the cookie in my computer?
You can quit the test at any time you like and delete the data stored in the test cookie on your computer. Doing this would remove all the information your computer holds about the test. If you are using a public computer, we advise you to take this step once you've completed the test because others may be able to see your results page. While the results page doesn't contain any of the personal information you are asked to enter during the test, you may not want others to see your scores.
To delete your data, go to the test menu page and follow the link at the top of the page.

Can I take the test on more than one computer?
Unfortunately you must complete the test on the same computer. This is because the test must save a cookie to your computer for Sex ID to work properly. If you begin the test on one computer and then try to complete it on another, the second computer won't have the cookie that lets us know what your log on name is and how far you got in your first session. You will have to restart the test, if you use a different computer.
