[TheBladeRoden]

Hope you have some time on your hands.

my results

Your personal brain score: 0
Well now i'm sad. Er, I guess that means I'm right in the middle between male and female.

Angles This task tested your ability to identify the angle of a line by matching it with its twin. This is a spatial task, which looks at how you picture space. Your score: 19 out of 20 Average score for men: 16.4 Average score for women: 14.7

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.

It comes from all the 3d modeling I bet

Spot the difference This task tested your ability to identify which objects changed position Your score: 86% Average score for men: 42% Average score for women: 57%

If you scored between 67 - 100%: 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.
It doesn't help though when people want me to tell them the road names. Ya know, the one with the S curve and the bar! Now where did I put that mask sketch?

Hands You said your RIGHT thumb was on top when you clasped your hands together. Right thumb on top: This suggests the left half of your brain is dominant. Many studies have tried to establish whether there is a relationship between handedness and brain dominance. Some scientists believe that if you are left brain dominant, you would be more verbal and analytical.

hmm, my right thumb may be on top but my left hand gets all the action, so i dunno about this one.

Emotions and Systems This task looked at whether you prefer to empathise or systemise. Empathy Your empathy score is: 5 out of 20 Average score for men: 4 - 12 Average score for women: 8 - 15 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.
Can you guess which side of the aisle I'm on?

Systemising Your systemising score is: 11 out of 20 Average score for men: 8 - 16 Average score for women: 3 - 12 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.
hmm, lower than I expected

Eyes This task tested your ability to judge people's emotions. Your score: 9 out of 10 Average score: 6 - 9

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.

Yeah, except in real life people don't generally walk around like smiley faces :D :( :gnash: :eek: :stomp:

Fingers We asked for the measurements of your ring and index finger. Your ratio came to: Right Hand: 1.04 Left Hand: 1.01 Average ratio for men: .96 Average ratio for women: 1.00

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.

I swear the ring finger looks longer from the back.

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.

*phew*

3D shapes This task tested your ability to mentally rotate 3D shapes. Your score: 11 out of 12 Average score for men: 8.4 Average score for women: 6.4

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.

No, but I do play a lot of video games.

This task looked at your verbal fluency. You associated 10 word(s) with GREY and you named 8 word(s) that mean happy. We are assuming that all the words you entered are correct. Scientists will be analysing your results in more detail. Average score: 6 - 10 words If you produced 6 - 10 words: Most people in this range have a female-type brain.

Women are said to use both sides of the brain when doing verbal tasks while men mainly use their left side. Studies have shown that girls develop vocabulary faster than boys. This difference in brain power is caused by levels of pre-natal testosterone. Find out more .

Great, scientists will have to research whether Strong Sad counts as a grey word.

This task asked you how you would divide money. If someone offered you £50, you said you would demand £25. On average, people offer 35 to 40% of the pot. Sex differences are small in this task. An offer of more than 40 per cent of the pot (ie £20) is more typically female and an offer of less than 35 per cent of the pot (ie £17.50) is more typically male. Scientists believe that people with lower testosterone levels tend to take fewer risks so they are probably more willing to keep less for themselves. Those with higher testosterone levels tend to drive a harder bargain and are less compromising.

Men's testosterone levels fluctuate over the seasons and are at their lowest levels during the springtime. This is said to influence their bargaining power. Find out more about the role of testosterone.

pshhhh, 50% is hardly an unreasonable demand.

Anyway, at least this was slightly less wastetime-worthy than that stupid eharmony thing.

[LiLOrion]

If its a test, I'll do it later. Since you've warned me its going to take some time. :)


ETA: I scored a 0 too!

3D shapes

Your score: 12 out of 12
Average score for men: 8.4
Average score for women: 6.4

What does your result suggest?

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 really hate when they attribute science to men. Men can have math, I dont like math. But science... :)

[kechara420]

I had to stop and save, since I don't have a ruler at my desk. It's been pretty interesting so far, though. I look forward to finishing and seeing what it says.

[LT Garrix]

Interesting. I'll have to use this to kill time. Something tells me that love of math and science and more logical way of looking at things will put me on the masculine side. Gotta love it that math and science are stereotyped as male. My hubby doesn't care too much for either, he's more of a history person.

[LiLOrion]

Yeah, they seem to put anything that involves emotion or intuition on the female side and anything that involves math, science or logical thinking on the male side.

I think males devised this test. :)

[stellar]

I scored 50%.

[AyuRocks]

I got fifty on the female side, not exactly what I expected, figured I'd be more towards the zero mark than that.

Part 1 Angles

This task tested your ability to identify the angle of a line by matching it with its twin. This is a spatial task, which looks at how you picture space.
Your score: 11 out of 20
Average score for men: 16.4
Average score for women: 14.7

What does your result suggest?

If you scored 0 - 12: You have more of a female brain. Scientists believe that people with a female brain find it more difficult to judge the slope of a line because they're not wired for spatial tasks. In past studies, 65 per cent of people who scored in this range were women.

Spot the difference

This task tested your ability to identify which objects changed position
Your score: 86%

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.

Systemising
Your systemising score is: 10 out of 20
Average score for men: 8 - 16

Fingers

We asked for the measurements of your ring and index finger. Your ratio came to:
Right Hand: 0.92
Left Hand: 0.95

Average ratio for men: .96
Average ratio for women: 1.00

I've got no idea what this means, even after reasing the results.


Part 5
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 masculine faces.


Part 6

What does your result suggest?

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.

Yeah to the video game comment, TBR. It ticks me off whenever someone just assumes that girls can't be gamers, I heard someone say that not too long ago and was near fuming.

Words

This task looked at your verbal fluency.

You associated 9 word(s) with GREY and you named 15 word(s) that mean happy. We are assuming that all the words you entered are correct. Scientists will be analysing your results in more detail.
Average score: 6 - 10 words

What do your results 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 someone offered you £50, you said you would demand £25.

On average, people offer 35 to 40% of the pot.

Sex differences are small in this task. An offer of more than 40 per cent of the pot (ie £20) is more typically female and an offer of less than 35 per cent of the pot (ie £17.50) is more typically male.
Down the middle seems the only fair way to me.

[stellar]

I love it that the Germans were willing to take 5pounds. Who's okay with 1/10 of a share?

[B Sharp]

Yeah, they seem to put anything that involves emotion or intuition on the female side and anything that involves math, science or logical thinking on the male side.

I think males devised this test. :)
:yes:

[LT Garrix]

Not surprisingly I scored 25% on the male side. Kicked butt on the 3D Shapes (I'm in that 10% of women who could ace it, and yes, I have an engineering and science background) and systemizing as I thought I would. Sucked on the eyes and the empathy. Scored well above average on the Spot the Difference, Words and the Angles. Strangely even though I'm right handed I came out right brained because of the whole left thumb on top. But, that says it makes me a better fighter so I'll go with it.

Pretty interesting test and I ended up about where I thought I would. I was always a bit of a tomboy.

[Zimtsternchen]

pffff... I got stuck at the attractiveness test because I could not decide which one of the girls was prettier.

[AgentSun]

Part 1:

This task tested your ability to make spatial judgments.

You correctly matched 12 line(s) out of 20.

Part 1: You correctly identified 6 out of 14.

You incorrectly identified 2 objects.


in my defense, my cell phone rang during the part of the test.

Part 2:

You said your right thumb is on top. This suggests the left side of your brain is dominant.

The left side of your brain is said to be more adept at language, logic and linear thinking.

The right side of your brain is said to control your visual, spatial and intuitive processes.

whoo!

Your empathising score is 6 out of 20. This is an indication of your ability to read and respond to others' emotions.

Your systemising score is 8 out of 20. This indicates how much you enjoy exploring the intricacies of systems, for example playing strategy games and putting together flat pack furniture.

Out of 10 pairs of eyes, you matched 7 with the correct mood.

Women are said to outperform men in this task because they tend to be more sensitive to facial expressions. They are generally better at discerning someone's mood just by looking at their eyes. Studies of children's behaviour have shown that on average girls make more eye contact than boys.

i had to finish it later cause i have no ruler.

[ChianaGray]

I got between 0 and 50% on the male side

It said I prefer more femuninistic faces in men :P no duh!

I only got 1 word for Grey and 1 for Happy ... I thought I'd get more than that. I can't think when I'm being timed!

[MrVesham]

50 on the male side but this is the only one I care about:

3D shapes

This task tested your ability to mentally rotate 3D shapes.
Your score: 12 out of 12

[ItsThatGuy]

pffff... I got stuck at the attractiveness test because I could not decide which one of the girls was prettier.

Yeah, other than one girl, none of the faces were remotely attractive for either choice.

I scored fifty percent female on this thing, apparently because i suck beyond belief at math, use lots of words, and can "empathise" i believe it said.:shrug:

Let's not take into accout journalistic aspirations or anything, here.:pissed:

[kechara420]

I scored a 25% on the male side, which is bizarre to me, because I really think I'm way too girlie. I'm a bundle of emotions. I love math, but HATE science. :shrug:


Angles
Your score: 16 out of 20
Average score for men: 16.4
Average score for women: 14.7

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: 86%
Average score for men: 42%
Average score for women: 57%

If you scored between 67 - 100%: Those with a female-type brain generally score in this range.

3D shapes
Your score: 12 out of 12
Average score for men: 8.4
Average score for women: 6.4

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.

I find this one particularly funny, because I have ZERO interest in science, engineering, etc. I like puzzles. That's it. :shrug:


Words
You associated 4 word(s) with GREY and you named 7 word(s) that mean happy.

Average score: 6 - 10 words
What do your results suggest?

If you produced 1 - 5 words: You are more of the strong, silent type with a male brain. You probably find it easier to express yourself in non-verbal ways, preferring action rather than words.

If you produced 6 - 10 words: Most people in this range have a female-type brain.


Ultimatum
If someone offered you £50, you said you would demand £20.

On average, people offer 35 to 40% of the pot.

Average score for women: 14.7

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.


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.

However, these theories are debatable and leave much to be said about the small percentage of people who are ambidextrous.


Emotions and Systems

Empathy

Your empathy score is: 15 out of 20
Average score for men: 4 - 12
Average score for women: 8 - 15

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: 12 out of 20
Average score for men: 8 - 16
Average score for women: 3 - 12



Eyes

Your score: 7 out of 10
Average score: 6 - 9

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.



Fingers


Right Hand: 1.04
Left Hand: 1

Average ratio for men: .96
Average ratio for women: 1.00

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.


Faces

Your choices suggest you prefer more masculine faces.


3D shapes


Your score: 11 out of 12
Average score for men: 8.4
Average score for women: 6.4

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.


Words

You associated 12 word(s) with GREY and you named 12 word(s) that mean happy. We are assuming that all the words you entered are correct. Scientists will be analysing your results in more detail.
Average score: 6 - 10 words

If you produced 6 - 10 words: Most people in this range have a female-type brain.

Women are said to use both sides of the brain when doing verbal tasks while men mainly use their left side. Studies have shown that girls develop vocabulary faster than boys. This difference in brain power is caused by levels of pre-natal testosterone.


Ultimatum

If someone offered you £50, you said you would demand £25.

[Antrobus]

I scored 50%.

You cheated!

I got 25% on the male side. Must have been my positive answer to the florist question that knocked me down from 50!! ;)

[La Bomba]

50% male side.:shrug:

[talyn3]

I have a girlie brain, NOOO!!!!

In my defense-
"Men's testosterone levels fluctuate over the seasons and are at their lowest levels during the springtime."

[scrape_medic]

I got a zero.......which with an engineering background is not that surprising...

But I didn't have to do the test to find this out..

Your choices suggest you prefer more masculine faces.
