It's a LONG quiz, so you might want to set aside some time to do it. Or come back to it later (it will ask you for a nickname to restart your quiz from wherever you left off):

http://www.bbc.co.uk/science/humanbody/ ... user.shtml

Description:


Some researchers say that men can have 'women's brains' and that women can think more like men.

Find out more about 'brain sex' differences by taking the Sex ID test, a series of visual challenges and questions used by psychologists in the BBC One television series Secrets of the Sexes:

* Get a brain sex profile and find out if you think like a man or a woman.
* See if you can gaze into someone's eyes and know what they're thinking.
* Find out why scientists are interested in the length of your fingers.
* See how your results relate to theories about brain sex.

I took a similar quiz and it said that I have neither. My score was 0. I am a man, but my brain is feminine enough to score a 0.

I did this a couple of weeks ago. I can't remember exactly what I got but it was male.

Same. Don't remember what it said though.

I took this awhile ago too, and it's too long for me to do it again right now. :) I was something like 25% female...

I scored 0 (middle) score. I did really poorly in the 3D shapes, which skewed the results somewhat.

I scored a 0 although I didn't do the part where you were supposed to measure your index finger...I didn't have a ruler. I think I read that asperger's is a form of the extreme male brain but I think the results to this quiz proves otherwise.

I didn't like the ruler part. :? I wonder if I screwed it up and it skewed my results even more. The only results that were on the non-male side were the 3D shapes which was far below (it was below the women's average).

I taken other tests and they have given me "extreme male brain." It's not really that important either way.

Just out of curiousity, what did you all score on the empathy part of the quiz. I scored extremely low! I got a 3 on the empathy part and I think a 15 on the systemizing.
