In this article, we take a look at the creation and use of masculinity and femininity test as gender technologies. From its origins linked to the measurement of gender differences (measuring attitudes and interests), through its use in the identification of sexual deviations (especially homosexuality-femininity in men), its conscious and unconscious measurements, to its current use with trans and intersex populations or in accordance with gender roles and its relationship with health. For each instrument, we provide a brief description, the criticism received and its subsequent aftermath. Finally, we address some methodological and conceptual issues that remain unresolved
