Why men don’t listen & why women don’t read maps
by A&B Pease


Hi

I’ve been reading the above book recently (really funny), and wondered if NT’s are exclusively male brained?

Here’s the test (it’s different than the one in the book but it will give you the gist):

brainsex matters - Live, love and learn to the full

Are NT’s more male brained (even if Female)? I've met a few guys who are ENxP - who I think possibly have female brains....

Amazing book, both me and my NT ex read it. So insightful.

7/20 but both of my index fingers are about 1/3 of an inch longer than my ring fingers, so sI have female hands.

catching a bloke staring at other women is a bit of a cheat - they have to turn their heads to check women out, Women look at other men just as much but pereferally.

Oh no....not more "scientific" excuses for bad male behavior....:rolli:

I'm an NF woman and I scored female: 12/20.
My index finger is significantly shorter than my ring finger.

Longer ring finger (I think there might be something to the finger length theory. I remember seeing somwthing where they visited a female rugby team, and all of them had a longer ring finger. And I'm guessing there have been studies on it.)

I didn't know being good at multi-tasking, good hearing, and not being a collector was feminine. :huh: I probably could have come up with a better test.

I have taken these types of test before, and have always scored highly on the male AND the female ones. So I guess my brain is confused, or a crossdressing brain, or sumthin.

I got eleven, which means my brain is more balanced, but slightly more female.

And I've got the female hands.

It's supposed to signify more testosterone.

In my case, I find it odd because I'm not an aggressive tomboy at all. I'm super girly and mostly gentle.

Female INFJ, scored 10/20. Index and ring fingers look like they are the same length but ring fingers may be ever so slightly longer. And people not being able to reverse park properly is one of my pet peeves. :)

In the book the scale is something like -40 to 149 is male, 150 to 180 is the area of crossover, and 181 to 370 is female.

I scored a 65. Also, the sequel, Why Men Don't Have a Clue and Women Always Need More Shoes is excellent as well.

I got 7. Some male-brained questions sounded like "are you a dumb jock or not?". I really don't love this kind of books, I can't see myself in 70 percent of the typical male behaviors (and there's no question about my sexuality or my appearance or my voice, all stereotypically male; my ring finger is significantly longer than my index finger).
