Sex I.D. Find out how your mind works!

The test as a whole in not my reason for posting, though you might find it amusing and amusement is what keeps me going

What I request from you is only in reference to one slice of the pie. There is a test that deals with looking at a small box frame of a face where just the eyes and some of the surrounding surface is available and you select the emotion that you think corresponds. I am interested in your results on this section as what I've seen described for AS people, they have difficultly in a sense knowing by visual aspects to the emotions of others.

I am posting my results just to show my whole hearted attempt of selecting the emotion associated to the eyes that come to me by analysis of others. I scored "high" on this test which of course on a more complex one might lower the results by average over time, maybe not.

However, I did well in my guesses.
What I am curious about is first what you get, for those with AS and really anyone else on here along with more information.

When I did the test, looking at their eyes, I literally have no idea what emotional from a personal feeling level would result. I thought back to the emotional expressions of many people and to what I had learned they might convey and responded with that as my answer. In other words, by experience of learning what the expression most likely intends to convey was my response and not by feeling them myself along with my own facial changes.

If I based it solely on what I "feel," I would almost have no idea or no overall concept to what the emotional was and it would be selecting randomly.

My ability (provided the test is accurate) does not stem from what comes from within myself and seems only available by study of others. The test in other words fails to account at some level with those unable to know the emotion beyond what they learn it should mean by words so to speak.

My results:


I am not what seems to fit anything near "good empathiser," as I have learned from experience. I have looked at the eyes and connected what it should mean someone is feeling and still been quite obtuse with response or how I handled the situation. I have improved, still being aware that all in all, I don't understand the emotional itself. Perhaps some attributable to me being a male

What has happened is once an emotion is connected to the expression, I can try to run a systematic based response to address the situation in accordance to what helps resolve or handle their reason for the emotion. To me, this is not the same as feeling or knowing it.

I got 7 out of 10 on the eye test, and only 2 out of 20 on the empathizer scale.

I tried to match the eyes to a face I imagined it might go with, and answer based on what I thought the whole face I imagined was expressing.

This whole test was fun.

Apparently, my brain is androgynous. My test results showed up exactly at the zero mark...

But I knew that already. Didn't need a test to tell me I am not particularly male or female.

I got 25% female. Which is not too unusual. I did get bored with the IQ like questions though and guessed most of them so that perhaps messed the score up a bit. But this is not unlike what I have got on other male/female tests like this. I am sort of weird because I am hormonally female but there is a big part of my mind that seems to be male.

I got 6/10 for the eye test, 10/20 for the empathising and 5/20 for the systemising.

I am apparently 50% male. I did beat the average scores for both males and females on the determining the angles and rotating shapes sections (for rotating though I am a chemist - I rotate things in my head all the time). They gave me 2/20 for empathising and 8/20 for systemising but tbh I hate those judge yourself things - I always tend to stick with the middle 2 options and treat it as yes/no rather than a grading. I got 5/10 for the eye test so could be worse. Also the money one was weird - is it just me being overly logical or doesn't it just make sense to say "ok there are 2 of us and £50, I'll take £25"?

Male/female continuum. M/F on almost all the questions except the word one where I only got 1 so I'm a strong, silent type with a male brain apparently. But I'm female.

Did better on the eye test than last time I took it 7/10, but only 3/20 for empathising and 8/20 for systemising.

My brain is more male, than female. I got the average score for a male.

50% male as well.
I saw that that money question had the aspect of how far can you push the other person but the question is just how far can you go, why worry about that. 50/50 and away we go.
Empathising 3/20
Systemising 7/20
Eye test 9/10 but most of those my first impression was so far off that it was not even an option. But somehow seemed to guess them right out of the 4.
3D shapes 12/12
Words - well lets just say I should best stick to grunts

I took that before. Male here too, though I would have said androgynous. I'm good at rotating s**t in my head and other visual-spatial skills, but I'm fairly good at verbal skills too (learned to read aged 2...)

Oh, that is quite sad.
To be fair, I did use more words, like 'grey house' and 'some metals'.
I scored exactly zero in the male/female range.
I scored 16 out of 20 in the Angles test.
I got exactly 50% in the spot the difference test.
My right thumb was on top.
I got 20 out of 20 for empathising.
I got 16 out of 20 for systemising.
I got 2 out of 10 for the eyes test.
The ratio index/ring for my left hand is 0,96 and for my right hand is 1,01.
I like more masculine faces, although all of the test subjects were very unattractive to me.
I got 10 out of 12 for the 3D objects.
I had 17 words in total, although I could not think of many things that were always grey, except metals, so I actually have one, so I have 5.
I took 10 out of 50 pounds, because I have 214,15 EUR in my bank account which is enough for me.

well, my results

Part1:
Angles
My score: 17/20
Male Average: 15.1
Female Average: 13.3
Result: 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
My score: 36%
Male Average: 39%
Female Average: 46%
Result: If you scored between 34 - 66%: You may have a balanced female-male brain.

Part2
Hands
Left Thumb on Top

Part3
Emotions and Systems
Empathy score: 5/20
Male Average: 7.9/20
Female Average: 10.6/20

Systemizing Score: 19/20
Male Average: 12.5
Female Average: 8.0

Eyes...
My Score: 5/10
Male Average: 6.6
Female Average: 6.6
Result: 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.

Part4
Fingers
My Ratio: .97 both hands
Male Average: .982
Female Average: .991

Part5
Faces
Feminine Preference

Part6
3D Shapes
My Score: 12/12
Male Average: 8.2/12
Female Average: 7.1/12
Result: 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
My Total: 6 words
Male Average: 11.4
Female Average: 12.4
Result: If you produced 6 - 10 words: Most people in this range have a female-type brain.

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.


So yes.... I R Manly Man (yes, pun intended, same for the gross misuse of grammar and spelling

yep, thats what i did too with the money one. 2 people, so logically it should be split 50/50

forgot to put it on my results post but whatever, here is the overal scoring :/

50% male

I took this test a couple of years ago. I was exactly in the middle, 0% male or female. It was bound to happen. I have a very "male" brain in terms of being scientific and rule-based, but men tend to excel in visual-spatial skills. I have NVLD. I fail miserably at 3D rotation.
-OddDuckNash99-

I got 0% towards male or female. Now there's something informative *eyeroll*.

Anyway, I scored 3 out of 10 on the eyes test. Personally, I never use eyes to determine any emotions, I use the face as a whole. Which is somewhat amusing, really.

I got 5/10 on the eyes and 11/20 on the empathizing. Overall I was exactly average for a man. I do have PCOS, which raises testosterone levels.

I couldn't do the finger measurement. Perhaps something was wrong with my ruler, but I was measuring a smaller number than the test would allow you to input. I do have small hands, but not freakishly small as far as I know.

I was amused to note that I virtually always prefered the more rounded faces. Telling me that I have a nice round face is one of my son's favorite compliments.

Beep beep beep, bullsh*t alert!

Check this out. They're drawing male/female brains conclusions on the basis of this test. If you look at the actual average scores, men and women score *exactly the same*.

Not that the whole thing isn't nonsense, most likely, but that's pretty blatant.

Eyes


This task tested your ability to judge people's emotions.
Your score: 5 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.
