wow, thats pretty interesting, i got halfway, male and female brain. hehe.

[BlueStar]

Angles

Your score: 14 out of 20
Average score for men: 15.1 out of 20
Average score for women: 13.3 out of 20

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: 71%
Average score for men: 39%
Average score for women: 46%

Those with a female-type brain generally score in this range. Your ability to remember where objects are may serve as an advantage to you when you're trying to find your way around places. You're more capable of recalling landmarks to get from one place to another.

Hands

You said your left thumb was on top when you clasped your hands together.

This suggests the right half of your brain is dominant. Some studies theorise that as a right brain dominant person, you may excel in visual, spatial and intuitive processes.

Emotions and Systems

Empathising

Your empathy score is: 12 out of 20
Average score for men: 7.9 out of 20
Average score for women: 10.6 out of 20

Empathisers are better at accurately judging other people's emotions and responding appropriately. If you scored 15 and above, you are very empathic and would be an ideal person to comfort people in a time of crisis. Women in general are better at empathising.

Systemising

Your systemising score is: 10 out of 20
Average score for men: 12.5 out of 20
Average score for women: 8.0 out of 20

Systemisers prefer to investigate how systems work. A system can be a road map, flat pack furniture, or a mathematical equation – anything that follows a set of rules. A score of 15 and above suggests you're good at analysing or building systems. Men in general are better at systemising.

Eyes

Your score: 6 out of 10
Average score for men: 6.6 out of 10
Average score for women: 6.6 out of 10

Your result suggests you have a balanced female-male brain and find it neither easy nor difficult to judge people's emotions.

Fingers

Right Hand: 0.97
Left Hand: 0.93

Average ratio for men: 0.982
Average ratio for women: 0.991

It's thought that your ratio is governed by the amount of testosterone you were exposed to in your mother's womb. The ratio of the length of your index finger to the length of your ring finger is set for life by as early as three months after conception. Even during puberty, when we experience intensive hormonal changes, the ratio stays the same.

Men generally have a ring finger that is longer than their index finger, which gives them a lower ratio than women, whose ring and index fingers are usually of equal length.

Studies have found that men and women with lots of brothers generally have more masculine finger ratios. Find out what other things scientists think our ratios may tell us.

Faces

Your choices suggest you prefer more masculine faces.

Highly masculinised male faces possess more extreme testosterone markers such as a long, broad and lower jaw, as well as more pronounced brow ridges and cheekbones.

Interestingly, women's preferences are said to vary across the menstrual phase. A more masculine face is preferred during the 9 days prior to ovulation, when conception is most likely.

3D shapes

Your score: 8 out of 12
Average score for men: 8.2 out of 12
Average score for women: 7.1 out of 12

In past studies, 50 per cent of the people who scored in this range were women and 50 per cent were men.

Words

Your score: you associated 31 word(s) with grey and you named 36 word(s) that mean happy. We are assuming that all the words you entered are correct.
Average score for men: 11.4 words total
Average score for women: 12.4 words total

Most people in this range have a female-type brain.

Ultimatum

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.

So, um, all in all, I suppose I have a fairly balanced, but still definitely female, brain.

I got a male brain.

Part 1

Angles
Your score: 16 out of 20
Average score for men: 15.1 out of 20
Average score for women: 13.3 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: 21%
Average score for men: 39%
Average score for women: 46%

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.

Part 2

Hands
You said your left thumb was on top when you clasped your hands together.

Left thumb on top: This suggests the right half of your brain is dominant. Some studies theorise that as a right brain dominant person, you may excel in visual, spatial and intuitive processes.

Part 3

Emotions and Systems
Your empathy score is: 12 out of 20
Average score for men: 7.9 out of 20
Average score for women: 10.6 out of 20
Empathisers are better at accurately judging other people's emotions and responding appropriately. If you scored 15 and above, you are very empathic and would be an ideal person to comfort people in a time of crisis. Women in general are better at empathising.

Systemising
No score available. It appears you didn't complete this task. (Don't know how that happened)
Average score for men: 12.5 out of 20
Average score for women: 8.0 out of 20

Eyes
Your score: 8 out of 10
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.


Part 4

Fingers

Right Hand: 1.01
Left Hand: 0.97

Average ratio for men: 0.982
Average ratio for women: 0.991

It's thought that your ratio is governed by the amount of testosterone you were exposed to in your mother's womb. The ratio of the length of your index finger to the length of your ring finger is set for life by as early as three months after conception. Even during puberty, when we experience intensive hormonal changes, the ratio stays the same.

Part 6

3D shapes
Your score: 11 out of 12
Average score for men: 8.2 out of 12
Average score for women: 7.1 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.

Nearly a third of men who took this test got full marks, whereas less than 10 per cent of women managed the same.

Words
Your score: you associated 5 word(s) with grey and you named 11 word(s) that mean happy. We are assuming that all the words you entered are correct.
Average score for men: 11.4 words total
Average score for women: 12.4 words total


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

Sex differences are small in this task. 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.

[Kanan Road]

im stuck at the part 3 when it asks for a ruler. ill post results shortly.

[redbreegull]

I couldn't think of shit for the word association. I associated grey with "sky, static, metal, ocean, Television, crayons".

No point in posting all the results. Things that interested me: I got a perfect score on all the geometric tests. Line angles and 3-D shapes. I identified 8 of 10 eyes correctly and I got 12 of 20 on the empathetic scale. Only a 10 of 20 on the systematic scale. I says I have more of a male brain.

my brain is something like 25% male

[Fathoms (unadored)]

ugh, I don't have a ruler. That was a waste of time. Valuable time I could have wasted on something else.

There is no excuse for not having a ruler (unless, of course, you don't have a printer).

[Lie]

Whoa. 50% male.

I'm very empathetic, prefer masculine faces, and suck at systemizing, but as far the actual skill tests, I kicked ass at the angles and shapes and choked on the language one.

I have no issue with possibly being more male-brained, but the fact that I could only think of four words for "happy" hurts my pride.

Maybe the masculine side of my brain just steps in to take over when I'm really tired. How gentlemanly of it.

Haha, I'm more of a man than you.

[trev]

i'm male and got 25% female.

i prefer feminine faces, well fuck, i could've just told them that!

right brain, i split the money 20/30 less for me, didn't seem to accurate this test.

[spring]

i think we've done this before and i got 0% or something.

i don't know if i have the patience to do it again

ok, so i did do it. yay, i'm 50% female this time.



Angles
Your score: 19 out of 20
Average score for men: 15.1 out of 20
Average score for women: 13.3 out of 20

What does your result suggest?

If you scored 18 - 20: You have more of a male brain. On average, men outperform women in this task and those with more mathematical knowledge tend to score quite high as well. In past studies, 60 per cent of the people in this range were men.

Spot the difference
This task tested your ability to identify which objects changed position. You lost points, if you incorrectly identified objects.
Your score: 57%
Average score for men: 39%
Average score for women: 46%

What does your score suggest?
If you scored between 34 - 66%: You may have a balanced female-male brain.

Hands
You said your left thumb was on top when you clasped your hands together.

Left thumb on top: This suggests the right half of your brain is dominant. Some studies theorise that as a right brain dominant person, you may excel in visual, spatial and intuitive processes.

Emotions and Systems
This task looked at whether you prefer to empathise or systemise.
Empathising

Your empathy score is: 11 out of 20
Average score for men: 7.9 out of 20
Average score for women: 10.6 out of 20

What does your result suggest?

Empathisers are better at accurately judging other people's emotions and responding appropriately. If you scored 15 and above, you are very empathic and would be an ideal person to comfort people in a time of crisis. Women in general are better at empathising.

Systemising

Your systemising score is: 7 out of 20
Average score for men: 12.5 out of 20
Average score for women: 8.0 out of 20

What does your result suggest?

Systemisers prefer to investigate how systems work. A system can be a road map, flat pack furniture, or a mathematical equation – anything that follows a set of rules. A score of 15 and above suggests you're good at analysing or building systems. Men in general are better at systemising.

Scientists are keen to learn more about people who score high or low on both tests. They want to find out whether or not empathising and systemising are linked. Is a possible to make yourself more empathic?

Eyes
This task tested your ability to judge people's emotions.
Your score: 6 out of 10
Average score for men: 6.6 out of 10
Average score for women: 6.6 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.

Fingers
We asked you to measure your ring and index fingers. Your ratios came to:
Right Hand: 1.05
Left Hand: 1.01

Average ratio for men: 0.982
Average ratio for women: 0.991

It's thought that your ratio is governed by the amount of testosterone you were exposed to in your mother's womb. The ratio of the length of your index finger to the length of your ring finger is set for life by as early as three months after conception. Even during puberty, when we experience intensive hormonal changes, the ratio stays the same.

Faces
Your choices suggest you prefer more masculine faces.

3D shapes
Your score: 5 out of 12
Average score for men: 8.2 out of 12
Average score for women: 7.1 out of 12

What does your result suggest?

If you scored 0 - 6: Do you find yourself having to physically rotate a map to point in the direction in which you're travelling? This might explain why you scored in the lower range in the 3D shapes test. Twice as many women as men score in this category. Previous studies suggest that those with a female-type brain or with an arts background fall into this range.
Words
This task looked at your verbal fluency.

Your score: you associated 26 word(s) with grey and you named 9 word(s) that mean happy. We are assuming that all the words you entered are correct.
Average score for men: 11.4 words total
Average score for women: 12.4 words total

What does your result suggest?

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 £26

[wangcomputers]

I got 0. (hermaphrodite brain)
