Interesting gender test

[Joseph]

http://community.sparknotes.com/gender/

I came across this gender test.  I thought it was interesting because the questions are completely random and it's based on statistics:

---------------
How do we know? Well, deep down, your gender affects everything about you, from your favorite number to your views on Canada.
...
For every question, we keep a running total of how men answer vs. how women answer. This allows us to compare your responses against other people's, resulting in a highly accurate guess at your gender.
---------------

My result:
---------------
Statistically speaking, you are a man—whether you know it or not.
---------------

Correct!  And I know it. 

I'm curious to see how everyone else does on this test. 

All the best,
Joseph

Very interesting. I was sceptical but the test did show what I already knew. I am a woman. Every gender test I take comes out the same. I took one test that said I was less masculine than the average woman. Works for me.

It all adds up... we feel 20% certain that you are...
 
A Woman! 
Compared to others...
       
 
79% more male than you — 5% like you — 16% more female than you

LOL...not sure what the ZERO percent sure is all about, though...    Feels kinda' special to only have 7% like me...

Well you did say you were bi didn't you? By the way is that a cat on your shoulder or have you been standing to close to a nuclear reactor core? 

Cassie

[Valerie]

Cassandra! I am utterly in amazement!    Yeah, I'm bi- but hasn't the running theme here on Susan's been that sexual orientation has nothing to do with gender identity ?

I laughed out loud about your nuclear reactor crack... 2AM lots of things tickle my funnybone in a more hearty manner...  That's my boy Oliver, we took that pic Wednesday morning....  He was being all cute and purring and walkin' all over me, and head-butting me...  *sigh*  I think I love cats more than some people....

As the song goes "save the horse ride a cowboy", I am very amused by those gender tests as they can be a little far fetched. Not to mention that you have to sign up for that particular site in order to get the results. As another song says "Man I feel like a woman", theres my test and I passed.

[Valerie]

Oh I just did it for giggles and grins, I don't put credence in those things, either.  There's no way anyone can convince me that because I prefer a circle to a square that I am more or less female.   

[Dennis]

8% certain you're a man.

Yeah, I like taking these things for amusement's sake. Apparently preferring a blue bedroom over a white one is a female trait, though.

Dennis

[Valerie]

I chose a white bedroom, if it's any consolation, Dennis

[Dennis]

You macho chick you!

Dennis

[Valerie]

Bah!  I'm such a wimp, though, lol... if I could truly exude male prowess I might be worthy of such a title... besides, 'moist' is more disgusting than 'used'...     Valerie

[Sarah Louise]

Oh well, I guess I won't take the test, I started to take the test and it wanted me to make an account with them.  Sorry, not interested in having an account with them.

And anyway most of those tests are silly.  My choice of colors, etc have nothing to do with me belief that I have a birth defect and need it corrected.

Hi Anna Margaret,

How about popping over to Introductions and telling us a little bit about yourself and what brings you to Susan's? By the way my middle name is Anna.

I agree that of course these gender tests don't *really* determine anything, I just thought this one was more interesting than others I've run into in the past.  It's also pretty cool that so far it's been right for everyone who's posted (although, Valerie, I dunno what to think about "0% sure", either  ). 

I actually created a different profile with "female" checked and took the test again, choosing the same answers as last time.  It still told me the verdict was male.  I guess they're telling the truth about not peeking at your profile.  I do wonder about the last question though ("were you born in an even or odd year")?  You can't base gender preference on a question like that.  *shrug* oh well.

The result:
12% certain that I am a woman 
well, I am wearing a skirt and makeup 

64% are more masculine than me (this is probably true)
7% are like me (so high? I thought I was the only one)
29% are more feminine (well, of course)

When I do these gender tests I generally wind up in the "androgynous" category.  I suppose that the percentages on this test are consistent with that.

[Valerie]

Hey yeah I went back and created a guy account, did the test with the exact same answers and got the exact same result, "We feel 0% that you are a woman!"  and same stats and everything...

And that IS interesting how they seem to think birth year affects anything!  All i can think of is maybe there are statistics involved, maybe more boy babies are born on even years or vice versa...who knows what they're thinkin.... 

Anyway it's been fun but I've worn this test out...

XO,
Valerie
