    Rocky has an unusual number of conditions that make him a difficult employee. Which of the following conditions are protected from discrimination by the ADA?

    A. Muscular dystrophy.

    B. Transvestitism.

    C. Kleptomania.

    D. All of the above.

    Answer: A. An examination of the statute indicates that, of those conditions listed in this question, only muscular dystrophy is a protected condition.


    I think people generally know what transvestism is. But still, doesn’t it seem strange for the CPA exam to expect you to know fancy medical terms?

    My guess is that this is just a review course question. At least I hope so lol.

    I don't know what any of those mean except for D! I highly doubt that would be on the exam, and if it was, I doubt it would hurt your score much if you got it wrong. Remember, if you don't know something like this, no one probably does, and this exam is graded on a “curve.”

    I think it would be weird if someone consulted a CPA to find out if they can discriminate against transvestites. I mean… of all the things that I expect to advise my clients about… this just isn't one of them.

    REG - 94
    BEC - 92
    FAR - 92
    AUD - 99

    Sounds like you bought review materials for Neurology board exam or something.

    Is transvestitism a disability? Are you sure it's covered by the ADA or is there another governmental entity that protects against discrimination against that type?

    @lude – the exam is not graded on curve. If you check out the scoring psychometrics on the AICPA website, you will find out how the sections are graded.

    B:76
    A:64, 73, 91!
    R:77
    F:76
