I found this quiz in an old Utne Reader. Assuming we all have some feminine and masculine traits, this quiz assesses the ratio.
I found this to be interesting, especially item # 8 (haha). Maybe you will too.
If you want to, leaved your quiz results in comments.Scoring key follows the quiz. I found myself amazed at the distinction between gender, yet fluidity at the same time. I also found myself laughing quite a lot. I hope you have fun, and how do you think Brian and Justin would answer these questions?
