good to know...
I took a little test from the BBC yesterday. It told me that my brain is male. That's nice to know. Here's the official results.
Highlights from the parts of the test.
- Spot the difference - This task tested your ability to identify which objects changed position. You lost points, if you incorrectly identified objects.
Your score: 36%
If you scored between 34 - 66%: You may have a balanced female-male brain. - Empathising
Your empathy score is: 9 out of 20
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: 17 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 - This task tested your ability to judge people's emotions.
Your score: 9 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. - Faces - This task looked at how you rate the attractiveness of a series of faces. The images you looked at were digitally altered to create slight differences in masculinity.
Your choices suggest you prefer more feminine faces. - 3D shapes - This task tested your ability to mentally rotate 3D shapes.
Your score: 12 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.
I guess it means that my brain is actually androgynous though, because I'm systematic, and good at "rotating 3-D shapes", but I'm also good at identifying emotions just pictures of eyes.
Who knows.
It's just a test.
And and it was written by some Limeys too.

This is fun. I have more of a male brain than you! (100) But then in a couple it's pretty darn female as well (like I got 10/10 of the eye-emotion tests). Weird.

Sorry, I included an image but that's failed.
I'm an 25% man.:)

I, too, scored 50 on the male side of things. And I'm not very empathetic, apparently. But I don't understand what they meant by that, and I don't care.

I think your empathizer muct have been on Off that day b/c you CAN be good at that if your Male Analyzer is taking a nap.
