Thanks.

I got 'Your Brain is 53.33% Female, 46.67% Male' and

'Your brain is a healthy mix of male and female
You are both sensitive and savvy
Rational and reasonable, you tend to keep level headed
But you also tend to wear your heart on your sleeve'.

Interesting to me is that my spouse also came up (marginally) on the male side of the ledger, but the write-up was identical to yours, Angela:

Your Brain is 46.67% Female, 53.33% Male

Your brain is a healthy mix of male and female
You are both sensitive and savvy
Rational and reasonable, you tend to keep level headed
But you also tend to wear your heart on your sleeve.

Go figure...

:-)

The write-up probably varies the further from the center... would be interesting to see whether the '33.33% male and 66.67% female', your 'opposite' on the other side, would have a different write-up. Would have to, I'd imagine... opposite and all.

This entry is more evidence that as a science, psychology is right up there with astrology and dowsing.

Take a quality Gender Test. Find out the real scoop without having some PhD. condescend to you with really obvious, stupid questions.

My Results:

Your Brain is 40.00% Female, 60.00% Male

You have a total boy brain
Logical and detailed, you tend to look at the facts
And while your emotions do sway you sometimes...
You never like to get feelings too involved

Gawd, Shark, for a minute I was taking your comment seriously - then I clicked on the link, and found:

#3: A MALE friend of mine wants to talk about relationship problems he's having with his significant other; I respond by:
...A) ...sending him a nice, thoughtful Hallmark card that contains encouraging words of friendship and sympathy.
...B) ...getting him drunk, taking all of his money in a few games of pool, mocking his sexuality, joking about his family life -- and finally beating the shit out of him on his front lawn at 3:00 A.M. 'cause he got smart on the way home.

#4: A FEMALE friend of mine wants to talk about relationship problems she's having with her significant other; I respond by:
...A) ...spending hours listening, sharing tears, and giving good advice.
...B) ...pretending to be sympathetic, and then offering to share my bed in case she wants to leave him for an hour or two some Saturday night.

Sorry, Doc, but the "Gender Brain Quiz" just friggin' BEGGED to be mocked.

xxoo

Me too! ;-)

Like most BlogThing quizzes, What Gender Is Your Brain? is fluff disguised as a serious meme. The topic of brain gender, though, is one I've been following in a desultory way ever since I met my loving spouse (34 years ago and counting...).

That said, your mock quiz is certainly funny, Shark, and pokes holes just where the straw-man (or -woman) is weakest.

Doc: "...The topic of brain gender, though, is one I've been following..."

Me too.

And I have some very important theories on the subject:

I believe that being able to pee standing up changed the basic structure of the male brain --and conversely, etc etc.

ie.

Female squatting = nesting imperative (care/compassion/nuturing)

Male standing = swordplay imperative (violence/nuclear weapons/environmental destruction)

Just think of it: the Earth and most living species are basically doomed because men have an external hose that they are able to equate with a weapon.


You're welcome!

for those interested.. im 17 soon to be 18 and am questioning my sexuality (not after taking this quiz)

Your Brain is 66.67% Female, 33.33% Male

Your brain leans female
You think with your heart, not your head
Sweet and considerate, you are a giver
But you're tough enough not to let anyone take advantage of you!

Ouch! Another blow to my masculinity.

A far more useful indicator is Myers-Briggs. At a family dinner recently, my sister-in-law and I found that we're the same INTJ type, while our spouses are the same INFP type. As a lark, I asked her to take to the brain-gender quiz, and she also came out with a "total boy brain".

Her husband, though, wound up with a high testosterone score:

Your Brain is 6.67% Female, 93.33% Male

You've got the brain of a manly man
Feelings, schmeelings... tears aren't for you.
You could break both legs and not get misty eyed.
A great problem solver, nothing ever phases you.

I scored a perfect 10. Where do we go from here?
