Is your brain male or female?

[Nocturna]

http://www.bbc.co.uk/science/humanbody/sex/index_cookie.shtml

An interesting test to see how your brain works. It takes a bit of time, because there are tasks to complete, but it's really interesting.
I'm particularly curious about how female INTPs score, I imagine we probably won't score too high on female because our tendency to analyse everything around us, which seems to be a more male than female trait.

I've never felt particularly feminine and this seems to confirm it. I scored 25% female, while the average for females would be 50%.

My other results:
Part 1 - Angles: 13 out of 20
Spot the difference: 64%

Part 2 - Hands: right thumb on top

Part 3 - Empathising: 10 out of 20
Systemising: 7 out of 20
Eyes: 9 out of 10

Part 4 - Fingers, right hand 1,01
Left hand 1

Part 5 - Faces - I seem to prefer more masculine faces (I have to say this test didn't convince me at all and felt somewhat biased, I'm very well known for liking guys with girly faces)

Part 6 - 3D shapes: 9 out of 12
Words: 14 (English isn't my native language or even what I use in everyday life)
Ultimatum: 25GBP for each, I find that equal work deserves equal pay but that doesn't seem to happen with most people...

Hope you enjoy this test too!

f 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
Your score: you associated 1 word(s) with grey and you named 4 word(s) that mean happy. We are assuming that all the words you entered are correct.

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. (I didn't realize I needed commas)

Ultimatum
If you had to split £50 with someone, you said you would demand £25 So far on the Sex ID test, men have demanded 51.6% (£25.80) of the pot and women have demanded 51.0% (£25.50), on average.

 

[Adymus]

I'm not the only one who thinks this is retarded, right?

I'm mean, if you are saying women have men's brains and vice versa, maybe we should just stop associating gender to cognitive functions.

 

[Anchorite]

^ Aren't most of these quizzes retarded? Just a way to pass the time.
As for "maybe we should just stop associating gender to cognitive functions" I guess I would agree.

[Nocturna]

I'm gay and got 0%....

I'm nothing?

I think there's a lot of confusion in regard to this test. In fact, if you read the conclusions the investigators came to, you'll see that homosexuality is not mentioned in this study. A female brain is supposed to be more language and empathy oriented (if you score female it means you scored higher in these traits), while the male brain is more spacial and systemising oriented (you'll get a "male brain" if you score higher in these). This is how male and female are seen traditionally and this test is precisely trying to evaluate if that really is true, if more females exhibit traditional female traits and males exhibit traditional male traits. If I remember the numbers correctly, they came to conclude that out of every 10 men, 6 have typical male brains, 2 are balanced (they're equally good at systematising and spacial as they are at empathising and languages), and 2 are female. Out of every 10 women things change a bit, 4 are typically female, 4 are balanced and 2 have male brains. This may actually challenge what's been previously accepted as rule, it depends a bit on your interpretation.

Please don't use this test (which I understand tries to be a serious study and not just another silly online quizz), to diminish someone or to feel somehow diminished. This does not evaluate if you're gay or potentially gay or not (mind you, I don't think there's anything wrong or diminishing in being gay, but unfortunately some people do and still use the word or idea as an insult). From what I know, I think it's perfectly possible to have a brain of the opposite gender and be as straight as an arrow and vice-versa.

Like a good INTP that I am, I just had to try to shed some light on this subject.

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: 15 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 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.

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.

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.

Interestingly, men's testosterone levels fluctuate through the seasons and studies have shown that men's scores are lower in the spring, when their testosterone levels are at their lowest.

Spot the difference

This task tested your ability to identify which objects changed position. You lost points, if you incorrectly identified objects.

Your score: 21%
Average score for men: 39%
Average score for women: 46%
What does your score suggest?

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.

If you scored between 34 - 66%: You may have a balanced female-male brain.

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.

Hands


You said your left 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.

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

This task looked at whether you prefer to empathise or systemise.

Empathising

Your empathy score is: 4 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: 18 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?

Some scientists claim that our empathy and systemising abilities can be traced all the way back to prehistoric times. Find out more.


Eyes

This task tested your ability to judge people's emotions.

Your score: 7 out of 10
Average score for men: 6.6 out of 10
Average score for women: 6.6 out of 10
What does your result suggest?

If you scored 0 - 3: Do you think you're good at judging how another person is feeling? Your score suggests this doesn't come to you quite so naturally.

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.

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.

Professor Baron-Cohen at the University of Cambridge says that people usually perform better than they expect to on this test.

Men often think a person's eyes are sending signals of desire when that's not the case at all. Find out more.

Fingers

We asked you to measure your ring and index fingers. Your ratios came to:

Right Hand: No result available. It appears you didn't complete this task.
Left Hand: No result available. It appears you didn't complete this task.

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.

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 feminine 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.

A typical 'attractive' female face possesses features such as a shorter, narrower, lower jaw, fuller lips and larger eyes than an average face.

3D shapes

This task tested your ability to mentally rotate 3D shapes.

Your score: 6 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.

If you scored 7 - 9: In past studies, 50 per cent of the people who scored in this range were women and 50 per cent were men.

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. Find out why.

Your score: you associated 8 word(s) with grey and you named 1 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 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.

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 .


Ultimatum

This task asked you how you would divide money.

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

So far on the Sex ID test, men have demanded 51.6% (£25.80) of the pot and women have demanded 51.0% (£25.50), on average.

What does your response suggest?

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.

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.

I have a dick, it's male. Test is a waste of time, check your trousers or if that's ambiguous consult your doctor.

 

[shortbuss]

This is my first post, so hello good people of the internet.

I took the test, and I won't share the needless numbers, but my brain is more female, which is cool since I am female. I pretty much suck at empathizing, systematizing, and mentally rotating shapes.

Interestingly enough, though I'm not good at empathy, according to the test, I am slightly above average at detecting emotion through looking at pictures of eyes. Next time I can't read someone's disposition I need to take a good look at their eyes.

Fun test, and perhaps useful

[Jedi]

I heard the length of the ring finger to index finger implies weather a person is more masculine or feminine. Apparently if the ring finger is longer than the index than the fetus was exposed to more testosterone.

Funny--I don't look like a dude. Nor am I masculine for being a lay-deh. I was born late--maybe I was marinating in testosterone.

By the way, I am center brain and ambidextrous.

[Nibbler]

I like how many dudes got offended at this test or outright claimed they don't take silly online tests.

I also wonder how many actual INTPs scanned the whole thread looking for trends in the data--instead of just being offended.

 

[Melkor]

My brain is erratic, bi-polar, disobedient, emotional at the most inconvenient of times and constantly trying to make life difficult.

It has to be a woman.

 

[NoID10ts]

You just need a good skull fuck to set that brain of yours straight, Melkor.
