I took the [Gender Test](http://www.thespark.com/gendertest) at [TheSpark.com](http://TheSpark.com) … here are the results: \*"It all adds up… You are definitely a man! ``` How do we know? Well, deep down, your gender affects everything about you, from your favorite number to your views on Canada. Using the previous takers of the Gender Test, our patented Geni-Tell technology has discovered the subtle, surprising differences between male and female. ``` It’s sooo obvious you’re a dude. ``` As we said, this test gets smarter with every taker, and it's almost never wrong. You can make it even better by telling us it was right for you. ``` [] Amazing! I am a man! [x] You bitches, I am a girl. "\* Once I clicked on that it sent me to a page which said: \*"You know, for every question, we track very carefully what each gender answers. This allows us to guess with the utmost accuracy what you are. And in the rare case where we guess incorrectly (like now), we have the opportunity to learn from nature’s mistake. You. ``` People like you, who walk the scary line between man and woman, are *very* helpful in understanding exactly what makes someone fucked up. Thanks, and good luck."* ``` HTML tags replaced with vB tags. [Edited by UncleBeer on 02-02-2001 at 12:09 PM] ---

Well, they were wrong again. Then again, I kind of act like a guy, so it doesn’t matter. I look like a girl. ---

So I’m a man! Huh. Well, that would explain my total lack of skills in the housework department…but Bluesman is gonna be kinda pissed. ---

I am evidently a man as well. Apparantly I got the porn star question wrong. Perhaps this is because I have the sexual humor of a 12 year old boy. That’s just cockamamie! _snicker, snicker_ ---

“Definitely a woman”. Well, I’d’ve been more annoyed if they’d gotten it right. ---

Chalk me up as a man who appears to actually be a man. But I don’t have _nearly_ as much hair as in the picture. ---

Apparently, I’m a man. Funny, I always figured men came equipped with penises. Maybe it will pop out if I jump around a bit… 😃 ---

Apparently I am also a man. Either they are wrong, or I’ve been getting my period for the last 18 years by accident. Let’s not even mention the breasts and childbirthing. ---

Weird. It told me I am definitely a man (which I am). Then it gave examples of the differences between how men and women answer some of the questions–and for every single one, I had chosen the answers they say that women prefer. ---

Big surprise… I’m a woman. I think that in my case the clincher was the word “moist”. I almost clicked on “used”, first. I might re-take the test later and see if changing this one answer affects my results. I was so disappointed to get the _correct_ answer.🙂 I guess I’m not as odd as I thought… [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/take-the-gender-test/52854.md?page=2)
