Do you have a male or female brain?

[az]

Take the test, it's interesting: http://www.bbc.co.uk/science/humanbody/sex/

My results:

My personal score is 0 - right between male and female.

My scores for each task:

Part 1

Angles: 17 out of 20
Average score for men: 15.1 out of 20
Average score for women: 13.3 out of 20

Spot the difference: 50%
Average score for men: 39%
Average score for women: 46%

Part 2

You said your left thumb was on top when you clasped your hands together.

Right thumb on top: This suggests the left half of your brain is dominant. Many studies have tried to establish whether there is a relationship between handedness and brain dominance. Some scientists believe that if you are left brain dominant, you would be more verbal and analytical.

Left thumb on top: This suggests the right half of your brain is dominant. Some studies theorise that as a right brain dominant person, you may excel in visual, spatial and intuitive processes.

However, these theories are debatable and leave much to be said about the small percentage of people who are ambidextrous.

Part 3

Emotions and Systems
This task looked at whether you prefer to empathise or systemise.

Empathising

Your empathy score is: 9 out of 20
Average score for men: 7.9 out of 20
Average score for women: 10.6 out of 20


Systemising

Your systemising score is: 18 out of 20
Average score for men: 12.5 out of 20
Average score for women: 8.0 out of 20


Eyes
This task tested your ability to judge people's emotions.

Your score: 6 out of 10
Average score for men: 6.6 out of 10
Average score for women: 6.6 out of 10

Part 4

Fingers
We asked you to measure your ring and index fingers. Your ratios came to:

Right Hand: 1
Left Hand: 1.06


Part 5

Faces
This task looked at how you rate the attractiveness of a series of faces. The images you looked at were digitally altered to create slight differences in masculinity.

Your choices suggest you prefer more feminine faces.


Part 6

3D shapes
This task tested your ability to mentally rotate 3D shapes.

Your score: 10 out of 12
Average score for men: 8.2 out of 12
Average score for women: 7.1 out of 12
Words
This task looked at your verbal fluency.

Your score: you associated 12 word(s) with grey and you named 11 word(s) that mean happy. We are assuming that all the words you entered are correct.

Average score for men: 11.4 words total
Average score for women: 12.4 words total

What does your result suggest?

If you produced 1 - 5 words: You are more of the strong, silent type with a male brain. You probably find it easier to express yourself in non-verbal ways, preferring action rather than words.

If you produced 6 - 10 words: Most people in this range have a female-type brain.


Ultimatum
This task asked you how you would divide money.

If you had to split £50 with someone, you said you would demand £49

So far on the Sex ID test, men have demanded 51.6% (£25.80) of the pot and women have demanded 51.0% (£25.50), on average.


What does your response suggest?

Sex differences are small in this task. Demanding less than 60% of the pot (ie £30) is more typically female. Demanding more than 65% of the pot (ie £32.50) is more typically male.

I never understood those 3D shapes tests - are those actually supposed to be hard? I guess for that one it would just be because it was on a timer.

[Dr Mordrid]

+50 male with high scores in all the right places.

Dr. Mordrid

[VJ]

50% male with some contractitory conclusions.
But similar to Dr Mordid.

25% male. But a lot of the individual test scores simply reveal the fact that I've had a reasonably good education...

The scale, of course, is a ridicioulsy PC one. Just to avoid having to call either male or female 0%.....

[Gurm]

So, the test needs work. I scored 50% male, but the following areas were problematic:

1. The "memorize this scene" test. I just didn't try. It gave us a full minute to look at the scene, but I hit "next" after 10 seconds and just pegged the first few things that came to mind. My eyes suck lately, and I didn't feel like trying. Apparently if I _HAD_ tried, I would have been a girl, since only women score better than my random sampling of 40% of things that moved.

2. The faces. Most of them were ugly. Not only were most of them ugly, but EASILY 10 out of the 20 I didn't have a preference and there was no option for that, so I chose randomly. It then told me that I preferred more masculine faces. REALLY? Apparently my "flip a coin" smapling method favors high cheekbones.

3. The math stuff. They're running off the outdated notion that anyone with good spatial awareness is male. Even so, my "you got all of them" score puts me off the chart anyway. Their cop-out? "Oh, people who are good at math **** up this test."

GO FIGURE.

*sigh*
