Is your brain male or female?

[Celephais]

I'm still taking this test (I had to skip the ruler one, I don't have a ruler) but I just did the mental rotation test... scored perfect w/ 80 seconds left (they don't tell you how many objects are left so I tried to hurry), rather happy w/ that...

Gah, I scored more female... I'm just a lesbian in a male body!

[Back]

I did it this morning. I was half a bar lower than average male. I scored perfect on the eyes/emotions test. Also the Last 3D widget test.

The choose-the-better-looking-babe test was easy at first, then they started all looking like they hadn't washed for a few days.

[Celephais]

I don't really want to ruin it for someone else, but I ended up noticing something (I wont' say what yet) on one of the babes with her face that was really messed up (cause it's a computer collage thingie) and I had a real hard time not noticing it if it was there... made them look freaky.

I did real good on the eyes (think I missed one), and more than doubled average words for either, but I was way female on the lines (thought I had 10 seconds total). I'm just glad I scored as prefering female looks.

I only scored "50" female (but I have a feeling the scale isn't precise)

[Dwarven Empath]

Yep all man here. But I must admit I took it while being drunk.

I'll do it sober later.


Medi...

[AestheticDeath]

If I read it right, I scored 50% male, which is the average.

Spoiler? below... who knows.


My scores tend to contradict themselves. Some of those tests are just stupid too. Mostly the face test. You compare the same face, with a very small difference, like plucked eyebrows.. took me several to figure out a difference, and most of the time I just picked one randomly anyways.

I did horribly on the word task. Matched one word each... though I entered like 10 or more for each category, but some were guesses.

11 outta 12 on the 3d shapes, woulda had 12/12, but i read the directions wrong, and was trying to find ONE match.. and finding two.. I was like what gives.. then I read the thing at the top again.. wasted a good 40 seconds wondering why two are correct.

I won't lie, I used some dumb words.

If you had to split £50 with someone, you said you would demand £25

I just went 50%

Overall I scored more female. :(

[Jorddyn]

Angles
Your score: 14 out of 20
If you scored 13 - 17: You found this test neither hard nor easy. This suggests your brain has male and female traits when it comes to spatial ability.

Spot the difference
Your score: 46%
If you scored between 34 - 66%: You may have a balanced female-male brain.

Hands
Right
Right thumb on top: This suggests the left half of your brain is dominant. Many studies have tried to establish whether there is a relationship between handedness and brain dominance. Some scientists believe that if you are left brain dominant, you would be more verbal and analytical.

Your score: 6 out of 10
If you scored 4 - 6: Your result suggests you have a balanced female-male brain and find it neither easy nor difficult to judge people's emotions.

Your choices suggest you prefer more masculine faces.

3D shapes
This task tested your ability to mentally rotate 3D shapes.
Your score: 10 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. Past studies have concluded that people in this range have a more male brain.

Words
Your score: you associated 13 word(s) with grey and you named 12 word(s) that mean happy. We are assuming that all the words you entered are correct.
This task looked at your verbal fluency.
If you produced 6 - 10 words: Most people in this range have a female-type brain.


Ultimatum
This task asked you how you would divide money.
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.

Spot the difference
29%
If you scored between 0 - 33%: You may have more of a male brain. Scientists say men tend to under perform in this task. The corpus callosum, the part of the brain that links the right and left hemispheres, is a fifth larger in women. This means women can process visual and other signals at the same time more easily than men. There is also a theory that oestrogen levels in women give them an added advantage in spatial memory.

If you scored 7 - 9: In past studies, 50 per cent of the people who scored in this range were women and 50 per cent were men.

Words
5 words with grey, 8 words with happy
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.

Ultimatim
If you had to split £50 with someone, you said you would demand £25
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.


Conflicting results are awesome.

Edit: I ended up at like 25(%?) male.

[Satira]

I closed it already, but I ended up with a 25 towards the male side of things. Heehaw.

[Jennaen]

I wound up at 25 toward the male end of things, as well. Interesting.

[Stanley Burrell]

Shit. I closed the window. LoLz.

It wouldn't let me not select Genghis Khan or Queen Latifa on the women's faces thingy :-\

Methinks I was cheatz0ring since I deliberately started checking for smaller ears, larger neck and larger lip skewing in each after becoming pretty aware of it after the third pic in part 5 (and to a lesser degree, pupilary contraction in part 3.)

With all the sexual psychology and spacial relations, I am emo that it did not give me an average index. Bah.

That, and it told me I was a pillaging barbarian from the hermaphrodite clan of assexually reproducing cheuvinist fungi.

You're not?! I'm sorry, but it could never have worked between us darling. :cry:

50 towards the male side.

Those men were hideous.

[Satira]

Damn I thought the same thing. Barf-a-larf.

[Celephais]

Those men were hideous.

The female's didn't exactly do much better... I don't think I could sum it up better than stanely did:

It wouldn't let me not select Genghis Khan or Queen Latifa on the women's faces thingy :-\

[Miss X]

50 towards the female side.

I pwn at spot the difference.

[TheEschaton]

I am also 50 towards the female side. Huh.

-TheE-

[AestheticDeath]

I didnt get to look at the males, but Id agree on the females not being anything special. I was randomly picking one side or the other for a few, and then just selecting whichever side had thinner/smaller eyebrows. Then it told me I like masculine faces... How they got that I dunno. Men always have larger ungroomed eyebrows.

[ElanthianSiren]

Regarding the males, I didn't see much difference at all in them (even enhanced) and didn't think they were marginally attractive either. That portion of my test was mostly random clicking for Coley-esque reasons. Pickyass PC girls unite.

-M

[Ravenstorm]

Regarding the males, I didn't see much difference at all in them...

I found the differences quite distinctive. I noticed one of the major differences was in the chin and the jawline. One was usually more square while the other would be more narrow. There was also some difference in the cheekbones and eyes. I already knew I prefer more masculine features so the result was no surprise.

And I came out 50 on the male side overall.

[ElanthianSiren]

:shrug: they all looked fat to me.

-M

[Back]

I went back and took the test as a female just so I could see what the women were seeing. Maybe its just me, but half those guys were obviously effeminate looking. I looked at them like they may be cool to hang out with. While the test told me I preferred feminine features when I took it as a guy looking at females, it told me I preferred masculine features when I took it as a woman who was actually a guy thinking about who seemed cool.

[Satira]

They did look effeminate. Or really young like, in a creepy way.

They didn't look fat to me, but there was some BAD HAIR and BAD EYEBROWS. I'll tell you that much.
