Found a little test. Should take about 15 minutes or so. It tests you on your actual abilities rather than just asking questions.

I'll let you know my results when I'm done, but so far it seems that I definitely have a male brain.
I split 50/50. Guess I am close to my gender.

I found the test results to indicate that on the tests, I scored very female but on teh overall I scored male. I did select female faces and then the most feminine of the faces. Does this test distinguish by sexual orientation? Could my score be affected because I prefer females?

.
My overall score was right in the middle. Maybe that's why so many of my female friends say they admire me?
My score was more male but I feel like even if I were a girl it would be that way because of my aspergers
I preferred mostly female faces and scored more female...I bombed the shapes part and it made me feel dumb.. :icon_anger:

I don't like tests, I'm still traumitzed from my gradeschool SRA's.

I pretty much got the average score for a guy. I pwned on a few of the tests particularly the angles 20 out of 20 right, but I also rocked the spot the difference thing which is apparently a more female trait (getting 71% right).
I scored right in the middle. I scored female in a bunch, and balanced in a bunch. Probably about half.
Kinda what I expected, to be honest. Feels right.
I scored right in the middle....as usual.
I got 50 on the male side (typical male score). I got all the eyes' emotions right, and I got all but one of the shapes right. Oh, and apparently the left half of my brain is dominant, because I put my right thumb over my left when I clasp my hands together. ???
I'm 25 into the female zone nd scored above average on a bunch of stuff :). I picked women for my primary attractive group but apparently still preferred masculine faces.
The money one baffled me though. Why in the world do something other than 50/50?
I remember this test. I took it a while ago and scored average on the male side. To compare I had several of my friends take the same test. They all scored their gender.
It worked rather well.
Got 50 on the male side.
Almost a bit proud, I got all the spatial rotation questions right :P

I got the average male score. I am pleased. ^.^ haha
50 on the female side -- which is the average score for female taking the test.

Same here, but I'm thinking my nearly complete (and somewhat surprising) failure on the eyes misjudged me. (Well, nearly acing the spatial stuff probably had something to do with that, too, but a life of video games is bound to have that effect on a person.)
I can't track a trend leading to this or a single event that triggered this, but up until sometime around high school, I had no issues with maintaining eye contact with people as I spoke or listened. I greatly preferred to do so, actually. But after that point, it's been very difficult. For whatever reason, I started feeling very vulnerable when I'd make eye contact, like I'm experiencing some super-awareness that everything that goes in my head when I'm looking at someone is indeed going on in theirs, and then I panic and avert my eyes.
So, for nearly half my life, I've regularly conversed looking away or past the other party. Despite this, I still get accurate reads on the emotions of others by relying on tone, expression, stance, the oh-so-important "vibe," etc.
Over the last few months, as I've started reconnecting with myself, I've made some progress on this, and it makes me glad. I WANT to look people in the eye, without fear, anxiety, or apprehension, like I did when I was younger. But for now apparently, I'm very rusty at reading eyes alone.
25 on the female side for me! ::)
I took this twice, first time I scored 50-50. 2nd time I scored 50% on the male end. I guess because I prefer masculine male faces :-*
I pwnt the object/line flipping things too. and epicly failed the spot the difference and word thingies
I did not understand the money thing either ???
MissAshley, I think lacking eye contact has a lot to do with social anxieties, and depression. when I am nervous, eye contact freezes my thoughts. And when I'm wary of people staring at me, etc, I will not make eye contact or even look in their general direction.
Last time I got this, I got 50 on the female side. I tend to be really good at telling people's emotions, my index and ring fingers are of equal length etc.
I got a 50 on the male side. I aced the angles and the rotating shapes sections but was also rather empathetic scoring 9 out of 10.
I got the average score for a male (50), which kinda' made me mad, lol.

I got the same.
I took the test twice because on the 'identify the rotated shape' the first time I was an idiot and didn't actually read that it said select TWO and tried to backtrack to make it up once I realized. /facepalm. This time I had an actual metric ruler too, vs last time I was trying to convert fractions of an inch into millimeters for the finger thing.
First time I was 25 into female. Second time I was 25 into male. Either way, according to this test I think more 'mannish' than my female counterparts.
I do think, though, that a couple parts of this are skewed a bit...for instance, the eyes I did extremely well, but I also took an animation class that focused on facial expressions and recognition for quite a length of time...I also blew the average out of the water for the 'rotate the block' one, BOTH TIMES funny enough, but I also go to school for 3d polygon modeling for games, so I'm used to thinking of objects in such terms.
And the money thing did confuse me too.
I got 50% male.
(See my avatar for my reaction)
dead center.
Like Maggie, I wonder if my preference to the female face pushed me towards the male side too much.
I wonder how it would do, and what faces I'd get, if I had told it I preferred males?

Not sure what it proves but i took it again and the only significant changes was i came up with more words, and I chose "I prefer males" and picked from male faces instead.
Finished a 25% to the female side this time.
It still said I chose the more feminine faces though.
Inconclusive.
Still, given the fact that I nailed the lines thing and the matching objects thing, I'm content where I ended up because those are always scored as heavily male skills.
I scored 0...
