what are you, really?

Okay, I am definitely female (I had my husband check to be sure :wink: ), and I scored at 50 on the male side. It’s because of those spacial rotations. I got all 12 of those right. I’ve just always had a knack for that. It’s never really paid off for me, though.

I got 50% female. Yay. I got 1/20 for empathising and 7/20 for systemising. Maybe I’m a retarded autistic but strangely enough I got above average when it came to recognising eyes, so maybe I’m actually just very, very apathetic. And I named 20 words compared to an average of 12.4 for women but those who know me would know that my usual vocabulary is more or less confined to “awesome” and “crap” so that would appear to support my hypothesis.

Am I the only one who was mystified by the explanation for the last question? I picked $25 and it seems most of the other people who took the test did the same, so why were those people offering such small amounts for their partners? Even the Japanese left less than half.

Oh dear.

Not only am I male (Papa Zappa will be very surprised) but apparently, as I preferred more masculine faces, I’m gay.

Well, actually, as my spouse is male, I guess that’s for the best!

Funny - 50% male for this lady. Did really well on the rotating the shape thingie, which kind of surprised me. Did lousy on the which one moved test. Which, again, is surprising - I’m the one that remembers where things are.

Huh, like FaerieBeth I came out as 50 on the male side, apparently because I scored highly on the spatial tasks: 20/20 on the first one with the angles, and 11/12 on the 3D flipping of the objects. This appears to have outweighed the other components of the test where I scored distinctly as having a female brain where there was a reported difference betwen the genders.

I am female by the way. On the bright side, I’m a female who doesn’t get lost easily (must be the spatial relations thing). Oh and I can talk up a storm while I’m not getting lost.

I got a 0. (I’m a girl.) I have man hands, with my ring fingers longer than my index fingers. I don’t have any older brothers, either. I prefer more feminine faces (I did the test with pictures of girls, but it would have turned out the same for guys). I got a 9/10 on the eyes thing, which really surprised me because I always thought I sucked at that.

Hm.

50 on the female side. Hubby will be thrilled to know nothing’s changed while I’m at work.

I scored 0 (in the centre) which really shouldn’t surprise anyone.

I was kind of annoyed by the faces test - it said I like guys with more “masculine” faces. That’s true when I’m looking at pictures, but not so much in real life, where I really go for more androgynous guys. Also, nearly all the pictures were ass-ugly, so it was hard to choose.

I’m a big, fat, androgynous zero.

And, just to beat the wiseasses to the punch – “Gee, too bad they didn’t have sheep pictures to choose from”…

Now, where is that horribly embarassed emoticon?

I mixed up centimeters and millimeters.
Oops.

but metric was over 30 years ago for me.
I do not have stubs for fingers–I actually have longish fingers… :eek:
carry on.

Yeah, same for me. It’s that engineer thing… :smiley:

Another 50 on the male side for this here male.

Did anyone not get exactly 50, 25 or 0 on either side?

I got 25% on the male side, and I’m a woman.

14% on Spot the Difference. :frowning:

Total crap at empathising, which doesn’t really surprise me – watching an interpreter/captions all my life means I haven’t really had a chance to learn how to interpret the body language too well.

10 out of 12 on the 3D shape thing, and I was rushing to finish the last few in time. Fear my spatial-fu. Unfortunately, I still have very little direction-fu and have to quadruple-check myself when driving from a map every few miles.

I got 25% female, which sounds about right to me. I’ve sent the link to my husband, so we’ll see how he comes out. I suspect he’ll be about 25% male. Neither of us is very traditional about gender roles.

I flubbed part of one test from not reading directions beforehand, but I came out as 50% guy, which matches the issued equipment. I pegged both the spatial relationships and judging emotions from eyes. Don’t know what that’s supposed to mean. I got zip on the displaced objects, which is funny since I can tell people where everything is in the house when they can’t find something. That’s more visual and spatial memory than a 2D test though, so maybe that accounts for it.

I used to be the official wet shoulder before I stopped fixing broken women, so I suspect that my female traits are mostly empathic. I’ve lost track of the women who’ve “told [me] things [they’ve] never told anyone else before.” I am CONFIDANT MAN! The verbal test was the one I flubbed, ironically. I got close to a perfect score on the verbal section of the SAT, and I took that years ago when it still meant something as a test. Without those empathy scores I’d probably be higher on the male side.

The faces were deliberately designed to be only slightly different, probably because it’s very easy to pick out a face that’s closer to the ideal. Still didn’t make it any more pleasant to take that part. It seems like they tried to account for some racial bias with their choice of subjects, and I think they messed with pupil dilation too.

The money thing. Wahh? The way I interpreted it, you divide and the other chooses, so of course you divide in half so you don’t get shafted. If it was some latecomer, then they deserve nothing, assuming you’re not going to turn the lost money in to the proper authorities. Maybe I missed something. Gotta learn to read the directions first.

I’m a guy, and my score was a dead center zero. I did screw up by clicking away from the ‘spot the difference’ thing too fast, but that’s the result I expected.

My spatial reasoning skills are not great, I write for a living, and I’ve known for a long time that I have kind of a talent for empathy. (I got a 12/20 on ‘empathy,’ 9/10 on the eyes thing, and put 21 words into the word association.)

I could be your male counterpart - though not numerically, as I scored a boring and disappointing zero overall. A good start (20/20 - I’m extremely competitive and a good concentrator), a pleasing (for me) 8/12 on the 3D thing, what I thought was a brilliant 7 out of 10 on the eyes, and I’m so into equity that I didn’t give the money thing a second’s thought but wanged down 25 quid pronto.

Least surprising finding: an empathising score well below even the male average.

I got tired of waiting, after about five minutes, for the Part I page to load. Not sure if this makes me more male than female or the other way around.

Whoa! The mamboman is the mambolady! Who knew?

mm

Definitely male then. ^__~
