What sex is your brain?

Take this test to find out.

I scored a zero...right in the middle.

Which was the average score for men who took the survey.

woot! i was happy about that :rofl:

i got 50 male.. which is odd :rofl:

i always have said i was an odd chick though ;)

I got 12 or 12 too.

Most of the other parts said I had a female brain. I think 12 of 12 adds a lot to the other side of the scale.

:shrug:

:thumbsup:

but that's mainly cuz I'm bad at imagining rotated shapes. Always sucked at that test.

Apparently this was because I was above-average at every task regardless of whether it was male or female. Something that I did find interesting however is that my ring/index finger ratio was VERY masculine (I am a female).

I've never particularly "felt" like a woman. Or a man either for that matter. Just a human being.

:woohoo: :woohoo:'
:rofl: :hi:

:woohoo: :woohoo:'
:rofl: :hi:

I scored "highly female" and "highly male" on several of them, which ended up 50 female. I have female fingers.

on the rotating objects one - I got 8 out of 12 on pure chance. Sometimes I think I have a learning disability about those things b/c all my life this has been a worthless exercise for me. So when I did it, I didn't really examine any of the four objects. I just looked at all four at the same time and chose two - there was NO analysis involved.

so, based upon how I came to the figure, I probably lost some "male brain" props.

I am also right-brained, as far as that matters. In other words, I'm pretty useless in a modern capitalist society.

i was highly female on the empathy part and then highly male on the 3d images part(whoddathunk the men would be the ones with perfect scores on that? ;) )

I did just okay on everything else. :P

that was kind of fun, sort of - although it felt too much like an IQ test in some places, which of course makes one wonder about the gender bias in IQ tests. Interesting.

I know this, I do not need a test to tell me.

DuStrange has the news up.

but have not read it all yet.

damn. All this time I thought I was a real manly man.

:rofl: ;)

it's funny how things work out :rofl:

But everyone knows I'm comfortable with my masculine and feminine sides...I think... :silly:

weeee.

:hi:

I'm a zero. Yup, that's about right. :P

My fingers are too short

most of it involved spatial recognition, which I'm good at not because I'm male, but because I've done a lot of video games and simulators and various 2d and 3d software things that use that part of my brain.

:thumbsup:

Asperger's Syndrome and all, of course... nobody's perfect...

I should go for engineering, but if those jobs are being offshored for "cheaper" work, why bother?
