I came across this psychological test in Time magazine:

Bem Sexual Role Inventory
http://www.helloquizzy.com/tests/bem-sexual-role-inventory (http://www.helloquizzy.com/tests/bem-sexual-role-inventory)

It was designed in 1971 apparently. Not sure what value to attach to it, but I thought it was pretty interesting. I came out as "Undifferentiated"; 70 out of 140 masculine and 87 out of 140 feminine. The explanation text for me said: "You scored less than 98 for both masculinity and femininity. 98 is the average for most people. So what are you? Who knows? You are neither particularly masculine or feminine."

Your result for Bem Sexual Role Inventory...
More Feminine

82/140 masculinity and  124/140 femininity!

You scored over 98 in femininity and under 98 in masculinity. You are more feminine than the average person. You are sweet, loving and warm. Will you hug me?

Don't think I can post pictures yet :P so this will have to do!

You scored over 98 in femininity and under 98 in masculinity. You are more feminine than the average person. You are sweet, loving and warm. Will you hug me?

Woo~ right where I should be x3

Undifferentiated, but leaning heavily towards masculine. 92/140 masculine, 62/140 feminine.

75/140 masculinity and 103/140 femininity!

95/140 masculinity and 109/140 femininity!

Androgynous

You scored over 98 on both masculinity and femininity. According to Bem, "The concept of psychological androgyny implies that it is possible for an individual to be both compassionate and assertive, both expressive and instrumental, both feminine and masculine, depending upon the situational appropriateness of these various modalities. And it further implies that an individual may even blend these complementary modalities in a single act, such as the ability to fire an employee, if the circumstances warrant it, but with sensitivity for the human emotion that such an act inevitably produces."  You have no idea how hard it is to find a decent picture for you...

I thought for sure it would say I was a dude O_O .

Took way too long to figure out how to post results O_o ...

Who knows if this is a meaningless survey.  Perhaps it still suggests I'm on the right track.  The great irony of having a lot of traits which are considered female/feminine is that for the longest time I wished that it were possible for men to be that way so as to justify my existence.  Women also would say they wished it could be that way and would commend me, but when it really came down to it they were incapable of responding to it.  This is why I find it very difficult to believe that anyone will ever feel a lasting, instinctive desire to be closer than a friend with me whether I'm transitioned or not.  Human nature has been a major letdown :'(

"More Feminine"

"You scored 62% on masculinity, higher than 5% of your peers."
"You scored 103% on femininity, higher than 70% of your peers."

So like most of us, I'm apparently more than 100% feminine..  ???

Some of these tests say I'm male, some say I'm female, and some say I'm androgyne.  I guess if I average it all together it comes out about right  LOL

72/140 masculine  130/140 feminine  ...

I definately didn't think I would be that high ... now I'm doubly terrified about a stealth fail while the Global Director is at my facility ...

*cries in a corner*

I guess Bug Eyed Monsters can be sexually differentiated.  ;D

More Masculine
116/140 masculinity and 81/140 femininity
You scored above 98 masculinity and below 98 femininity. You are more masculine than the average person. You are the manliest of the manly. The hairiest of the hairy. The... uh... you get the point...

Apparently, I scored higher than 92% of my "peers" for masculinity. That's odd.

i got 119/140 masculine and 94/140 feminine. i'm a manly man aparently. haha.

So I got bored. I can't say I expected this but - quizzes on the internet, whatever.

QuoteUndifferentiated

87/140 masculinity and 90/140 femininity!

Undifferentiated
You scored less than 98 for both masculinity and femininity. 98 is the average for most people. So what are you? Who knows? You are neither particularly masculine or feminine. You are even more difficult to find a picture for than the adrogynous people...

I can't say I disagree too much, although I feel like I know what I am well enough :)

77/140 masculinity and 114/140 femininity!
You scored over 98 in femininity and under 98 in masculinity. You are more feminine than the average person. You are sweet, loving and warm. Will you hug me?

Hmm...this means that how I am now, shows that I would be feminine in 1971?

fwiw, I marked "m" on the last question. LOL--many of the questions seemed stereotypical...I wonder why they didn't have "Do you like to throw curve oddballs into the situation?"

I think that test has rather outdated gender role assumptions, but that's to be expected from a paradigm that's over 40 years old.

I got 95/140 Masculine and 90/140 Feminine.

I agree with Deeper about the outdated gender role assumptions, however I was happy with my result.

I was undifferentiated. 70/140 for masculinity and 90/140 for femininity. I think that matches me pretty well.
