http://www.bbc.co.uk/science/humanbody/sex/add_user.shtml>This is a pretty fun quiz. I already took it some time ago, but at least in the spot the difference section my score changed pretty drastically(from something in the 20-30% range to 71% ).

I got 50 on the male side. The hardest was the words section(got 4 each:/), easiest the angles(20/20) and 3D shapes(12/12, with about a 100 seconds to spare).

"LMAO, word section was okay - got 11 and 7 for each."

The only 4 I found for gray were clouds, socks, suits, and concrete.

I bet you cheated, didn't you?

"i got 100% on spot the difference "

Not too shabby!

"And I put my right thumb over the left. That makes me left brained and hence very logical and analytical. Yet I scored very well in the eyes section. That decidedly makes me female......."

That left-brained/right-brained thing is more or less popular-science bs, from what I understand. What is interesting is that left-handed people can generally handle more stimuli. From what I understand the number of lefties in math and science is pretty disproportionate, but so is the number of left-handed 'tards.

Plus, left-handedness is more common in males.

I actually write better with my left hand, but it takes me a bit longer(lack of practice, I suppose). It's fast enough for most lectures, though.

"I thought it was inherited. Might also be the part of the world thing? Because I do remember in school there were exactly 2 girls who were left handed and 2 guys. 2 of them were whizs in math and science and the other two sucked at it but where good artists."

Could be, I suppose, but that seems like a pretty low N.😛

I got 50% male....
I kind of believe it actually. I never understood females all that well.

13/20 for the Angles = male & female traits.
43% for Spot the Difference = balanced.
My Left thumb was on top...I am indeed very right-brained. Makes sense.
I preferred masculine faces. Duh. 😄
12/12 on the 3D shapes. This is probably because I've done both mechanical and architectural drafting.

Ok, I got my results I am 50 on the women's side. I scored way below par for empathy. I scored in the male rage for Angles. I am very good in spotting the difference. I use my right brain more b/c my left thumb was on top. 9 out of 10 for eyes. I like masculine faces. I am a systemizer. I was tired by the time I got to part 6 so those scores aren't very accurate of my brain sex.
