This is supposedly serious research, but it's much the same as the usual Internet interactive questionnaires, though done a bit more professionally than most.

On that test, I scored a big fat zero, dead in the middle between male and female brain. Not really surprising to me, or probably to people that know me well. My mother used to call it balanced brain thinking. I call it "all fucked up."

I came in the middle of the male range on pretty much every test. I was a bit surprised about that. I screwed up on the word association part - every test up till then only used the mouse - when I reached for the keyboard, some things slid off the desk, and by the time I'd recovered them, half my time on thinking up words that matched the first one (the colour) had gone.

If you're going to do the test, get a ruler ready - one stage of the test gets you to measure the length of some bits of your body.

Middle of the male range too. I messed up the word one some how too though. I typed in 4-6 words for each, but both times it said I only got one word. :(

I screwed up the Word association test too. It had directions at the top which I didn't bother to read until the end of the second word. Supposed to put a comma after each word, I turned my list of words into a list. I tried to fix it but there wasn't enough time. I scored a 0. Right in the middle. Does that mean I'm as screwed up as warren?

Well, warrenly, ex-zombie and I should probably form a club or something. I scored a "0", as well.

I also learned that I have really small hands.

I gots a 50% male brain, which is interesting, considering that I seemed to score in or above the female range in all the female-brain orientated sections... :scratch:

I am about 25 towards the female side.

What sex has so little patience with any kind of online test that it can't even get through one when it is actually interested in the topic? :kickscan:

Okay, that was a damn lot of work for it to give me a score of 0...right in the middle. I have neither a male or female brain.

Yah, I made it to the second test, the memory test, when I said FUCK THIS and closed it.

I'm gonna go with the odds and say I came right in the middle without even taking it.

Overall I got fifty on the male side.

My 'spot the difference' results were terrible:
Your score: 21%
Average score for men: 42%
Average score for women: 57%

For judging eyes:
Your score: 6 out of 10
Average score: 6 - 9

...and that was a lot of guessing.

Finger ratio came out weird:
Right Hand: 1.05
Left Hand: 1.05

Average ratio for men: .96
Average ratio for women: 1.00

They said my brain was male but its really just abnormal.

Where's my sedigive? :eek:

I have a female brain. I rated 25 on the female side.

Man, I didn't think I did very well on the empathy thing. What'd you guy guys do, kick 'em while they were down? :wink:

My 'spot the difference' results were terrible:
Your score: 21%
Average score for men: 42%
Average score for women: 57%Whew! I thought I did bad at 32%. I did only take about 12 seconds looking at the items before clicking Next, taking me to the moved around items, instead of the 60 seconds allowed. Maybe my impatience played against me.

For judging eyes:
Your score: 6 out of 10
Average score: 6 - 9 I did 7 out of 10.

Finger ratio came out weird:
Right Hand: 1.05
Left Hand: 1.05

Average ratio for men: .96
Average ratio for women: 1.00Yours was weird? My right index finger is 4 mm longer than my left index finger.
Ratios
Right Hand: .99
Left Hand: 1.02

I have small hands for a man my size. My right index finger measured 70 mm. The others you can figure out using simple algebra. Actually, it would've taken less keystrokes to just tell you than writing that.

Weird in that my index fingers are longer than my ring fingers, as is yours on the left side.

On my left hand they are only 1 mm different, but the left index finger is shorter rather than longer. No wonder I have so much trouble playing the piano with my left hand, I don't have the reach to play some of those chords.

I got a 2/20 on the empathy section. I have no empathy at all. I did well on the memory test and the 3D shapes test, but not the angles test. I got a 25 "male" brain.

Overall I got fifty on the male side.I was 25 on the male side.My 'spot the difference' results were terrible:
Your score: 21%
Average score for men: 42%
Average score for women: 57%I scored 79% on that test, which is what must have pulled me to the female side, because I scored in the middle to high male side on all the other tests.
For judging eyes:
Your score: 6 out of 10
Average score: 6 - 9

...and that was a lot of guessing.Same with me, 6 of 10 and lots of guessing :D
Finger ratio came out weird:
Right Hand: 1.05
Left Hand: 1.05

Average ratio for men: .96
Average ratio for women: 1.00I was 0.95 on boths hands, almost bang on male average.

I was 18 out of 20 on the angles part and 10 out of 12 on matching the two correct rotated shapes to the original, but I didn't even answer the last one, I ran out of time.

I'm just a little bit male of even :D

That's not a gender, dammit! You and your big male brain can't fool me. :grumpy:

My apologies for not being more specific in my post. I'm no expert but I believe smiley addicts can be either male or female. Addiction is not specific to one particular sex.

I scored 50 points towards male though I didn't spend enough time on the angles test, I gave it one or two seconds as opposed to taking five or ten for each angle, screwed up on the word test so those results are skewed, etc.

I generally hate these kinds of quizzes, but took it anyway - must be bored or something. :yawn:

Anyway, I got 50 into the male side so I guess I'm just your average guy. :wink:

Got a low score, even for men, on empathy, but I don't think I'm really that bad. :madrazz:

Got a 9/10 on the eyes which really surprised me because I thought it was a total guess each time. :shock:

I'm tending to think the whole thing was bogus, but I got a 11/12 on the 3-D and a 18/20 on systems, so they were right about being an engineer and having a science background. :yup:

:wtf:

Something wrong with me being more of a man than most of y'all? :P

Nah, most of my results were more balanced male-female or male on this one but female on the other, I'm not sure exactly what tipped the scales.
