I did that once....
Let me see if I've got it somewhere, I do tend to keep everything.
On the overall, I'm slap-bang in the 50 of the female - along with most women. So I'm a girly androgyne according to the BBC.
I got about 25 on the female side, which is pretty much in line with my expectations. (My score on the Bem Sex Role Inventory was something like 32 masculine, 67 feminine, 52 androgynous.)
It was funny taking these tests though after reading a book that talked about gender differences... some of those tests show no difference, others show different results depending on whether the person taking it is aware there are supposed to be gender differences in the results, and none of them prove any factors such as fetal testosterone actually result in mental differences.
Healthy scepticism is healthy.
I took that test some number of years ago. It made me realize that there is more to gender than just "boy" or "girl", and started me down the path to where i am today.
That's really discouragng mine says 50 male. :(
If men can have womens brains and women can have mens brains then how can anyone establish WHAT a male/female brain is without the typical sterio typing of gender roles. Its role playing and its a croc.
O i dont know, but there were rotating lines and tetris pieces moving about.
And the pictures which change position are cute too.
Also, what is gender anyway ?
I just like prodding gender tests to get about 50% 50%
And I do it somewhat unconsciously too.
I took it about a year ago (pre-HRT) and got 50 female. Took it this morning to see if that had changed since I've been on HRT for a while, and got 25 female. ???
Then again, I nearly aced all of the sections. No practice effect because I hadn't seen those tests in forever and had forgotten what was on it. But I did ace both the block rotation and picture-swap tests. 9/10 on the eye test, 12 on both word tests, 18/20 empathy, 10/20 reasoning (or technical, whatever they called it).
Strange results. :laugh:

True, that! I used to tell my psychology students something similar whenever we got to talking about IQ tests. I spent a year and a half of my childhood in a school that required an IQ test for entry and I swear some of those kids didn't know their asses from their elbows.
i scored 50 to the male side. must be because i like iq tests and technicalities
found out that i'm really good at reading people's emotions, but unfortunately suck at empathizing and responding in a suitable way. and i've trouble with word association games in english, not that i like to talk too much anyway
IQ tests are very dull aren't they - you do them and think, 'is this what they call clever?'
it's more like you get better at them the more do them, so it's not too accurate. i find it a lot more intelligent to know how to use whatever skills one has, which makes me feel much less intelligent than my iq test results suggest
I scored a zero. My brain is either nothing or everything, I'm not sure which. I did well on all the test-type sections, so maybe I'm both then? That rotation test nearly broke my brain, but I did get a good score somehow.
So I'm an adrogyney girl I guess? /shrug
Though interesting, I personally wouldn't derive any meaningful conclusions from the results.
That was an amusing way to waste some time. I'm surprised at my results, I got a zero. In the past whenever I have taken something like this my score leans towards the female side.
