There is a newer BBC brain sex quiz:

It requires an up to date Flash player, which I did not initially have but there is a download link.

I got



Interestingly, it implies that I did not do so well on the spatial tests, whereas on the older test, I got 19/20 on the angles quiz (the only section I could access), implying male spatial ability.  The old angles quiz did not involve 3D rotations of complex shapes, though.

I got female brain. I've taken dozens of these things. I love taking these silly tests and quizzes because I always, every single time, get the result that I have a female brain. I realize this should be taken with a grain of salt and should in no way ever be used as a gatekeeping tool, but it helps reaffirm my feeling that I am a transgender woman. Those last 5 words were harder to type than I was expecting. I always worry I'm not feminine enough because I hate the way I look and sound and if someone were to hear me say that aloud and in meatspace they'd scoff.

I found a few that are like this in that they don't really rely on questions which have answers which might be subconsciously selected to influence the result, such as what's your favorite thing to do watch sports games or go shopping? They usually involve two methods of determining the test taker's ability to detect subtle differences in colors (females perform better) or their spacial cognition (males perform better). I'll try to dig these tests up.

Here are a few other tests I put up on my Pinterest, not to be taken too seriously:
