Brain gender test
I posted this as a comment, but thought I should probably put it in my own journal, too.
Angles: 19/20 - very male score;
Spot the diff: 71% - very female score;
Hands - left. Well, I am an artist.(Though honestly, I think that contributed to my angles score more -- it'd be pretty hard to draw if you couldn't detect parallel lines, eh?);
Empathy 5/20 - very male;
Systemizing 18/20 - very male;
Eyes 9/10 - very female, but again with the artist thing.
Fingers RH .91, LH 1: Male. Odd.
Faces - prefer masculine
Rotate the shapes: 11/12 Very male. But again with the artist thing. I think they need a subset brain type. Some of us have trained ourselves for this sort of thing.
Words - 17 total, female (They say the prenatal testosterone thing caused the fingers to be the OTHER way, so what the hell?)
Ultimatum - 25 pounds. Duh. I got female, too.
Overall was halfway toward male. Not as high as the average male score, but significantly far away from the average female.
But seriously, I think their tests overlook things I know I haven't ALWAYS been able to do (angles, rotating shapes, etc.) so it's not taking into account environment -- unless they're saying women just don't choose to train their brains to do these things. Plus their reasoning on fingers/words was contradictory.
