BBC Gender Test

[Ginkgo]

Heh, yeah, I thought that was rather amusing as well. (I ended up demanding £49/£50 )

 

[Reverie]

I have a 25% male brain trapped in a woman's head. Though I just sped the whole thing through because I wanted to eat a piece of chocolate cake. Only words in my head were "cake, cake, and cake"...so I know for sure my brain thinks cake is more important than anything else.

[Eric B]

Yes, I started the thread for the same test way back in 2007-2008.

EDIT:
BBC Gender Test

OK, that was before my time. And then, I remember seeing that thread title (As it was resurrected off and on), but never checking it out).
Now, as people have resurrected that one again, yesterday, perhaps they should be merged. (I guess you can't do that anymore).

Nope. All my pixie magic is gone.

 

[funkadelik]

Got a 0 score in total...sooo neither? Both? Androgynous?

Gotta admit, I found this test annoying. Especially this part:

Average score for men: 6.6 out of 10
Average score for women: 6.6 out of 10
...
If you scored 7 - 10: Your result suggests you are a good empathiser, sensitive to other people's emotions. Women generally fall into this category.

Bullshit! The average score is equal for both men and women. What gives?

 

[Xenon]

Well I guess I never did post my score. So anyways, I scored right in the middle also (0). I started taking it again but I can't find my tape measure to measure my fingers.

Gotta admit, I found this test annoying. Especially this part:



Bullshit! The average score is equal for both men and women. What gives?

Yeah, I noticed things like that. I don't know if they'd predicted men and women would be different based on previous research but they ended up performing the same on this test, or what.
