hehe :) might being left handed have something to do with it? O_o

Amusing test.  Half of the items say I have a female brain and half say I have a male brain.  They have an issue with using timed tests, because they are not taking into account that the processing speed of the brain slows down with age.  So tests like "angles" will tend to come back more "female" as you get older, and "spot the difference" will tend to come back more "male" as you get older.

The one thing it tells me is that my "empathy" score is way out of the normal range.

Angles
Your score: 12 out of 20
Average score for men: 15.1 out of 20
Average score for women: 13.3 out of 20
If you scored 0 - 12: You have more of a female brain.

Spot the difference
Your score: 21%
Average score for men: 39%
Average score for women: 46%
If you scored between 0 - 33%: You may have more of a male brain.

Hands
Right thumb on top: This suggests the left half of your brain is dominant.
(Even though I'm left handed.)

Empathising
Your empathy score is: 18 out of 20
Average score for men: 7.9 out of 20
Average score for women: 10.6 out of 20
If you scored 15 and above, you are very empathic and would be an ideal person to comfort people in a time of crisis. Women in general are better at empathising.

Systemising
Your systemising score is: 12 out of 20
Average score for men: 12.5 out of 20
Average score for women: 8.0 out of 20
A score of 15 and above suggests you're good at analysing or building systems. Men in general are better at systemising.

Eyes
Your score: 7 out of 10
Average score for men: 6.6 out of 10
Average score for women: 6.6 out of 10
If you scored 7 - 10: Your result suggests you are a good empathiser, sensitive to other people's emotions. Women generally fall into this category.
(If both men and women average 6.6, what is the point in this test?  One of those numbers must be a typo.)

Fingers
Right Hand: 0.98
Left Hand: 1.02
Average ratio for men: 0.982
Average ratio for women: 0.991
Men generally have a ring finger that is longer than their index finger, which gives them a lower ratio than women, whose ring and index fingers are usually of equal length.
(Well, gee.  I always sort of figured the right half of my body was masculine and the left half was feminine.)

Faces
Your choices suggest you prefer more masculine faces.
(Whatever that means.)

3D shapes
Your score: 11 out of 12
Average score for men: 8.2 out of 12
Average score for women: 7.1 out of 12
If you scored 10 - 12: Are you an engineer or do you have a science background? People with these skills tend to score in this range. (Yes)  Past studies have concluded that people in this range have a more male brain.

Words
Your score: you associated 4 word(s) with grey and you named 6 word(s) that mean happy.
Average score for men: 11.4 words total
Average score for women: 12.4 words total
If you produced 1 - 5 words: You are more of the strong, silent type with a male brain. You probably find it easier to express yourself in non-verbal ways, preferring action rather than words.
If you produced 6 - 10 words: Most people in this range have a female-type brain.

Ultimatum
If you had to split £50 with someone, you said you would demand £25
So far on the Sex ID test, men have demanded 51.6% (£25.80) of the pot and women have demanded 51.0% (£25.50), on average.
Sex differences are small in this task. Demanding less than 60% of the pot (ie £30) is more typically female. Demanding more than 65% of the pot (ie £32.50) is more typically male.
"Anyone who attempts to play the 'real transsexual' card should be summarily dismissed, as they are merely engaging in name calling rather than serious debate."

50 on the female side.
but a lot of that was because I barely have a spatial ability

I got 50 on the female side, which is supposed to be the average female. I should have copies the results before I closed the page. :(

one interseting thing about measuring the fingers, both my index and ring finger are exactly the same size, and the same size on both hands. I've heard the fingers being different. I wonder what it means if they are the same length?

25 on the male side (basicly the androgyne zone) which was not surprising since I scored perfect in all the spatial ability thing (I've always had an uncanny ability to know where I am in space, more than any male or female I know!).

I score high (20) on empathy and (18) systemising!
I scored perfect on angles and 3D shapes!!
I scored 35% on the find what moved thing, but I didn't do it quite right, I thought they had to move a lot, but some just moved a little and thus I missed them.
9/10 on the eye thing.
Extreme Digit ratio: 1.03 right, 1.01 left.
Produced 13 words and 7 synomyms.

Seems my scores are high on both the male and female range, hey, I'm weird like that.


While on average, women may fit these things, I think that if you took women mechanical engineering students, you'd get a score quite similar to mine.

25 on Female. I happen to be an engineering student. I hope I didn't bias my own results >.>

Perfect on lines and angles. 86% on moving objects. 8 on eye/emotion.
14/14 Empathizing/Systemizing. 15/14 on the word tests.
Prefer masculine faces.

My digit ratio is .96 on both sides. This really bothered me at one point in the past, until I took a good look at my mom's hands once, and what do you know? She also has a longer ring finger, with a ratio like mine, as a normal natal female. So... I guess I inherited it ;p
