The BBC Sex ID meme - ganked from girl_on_a_stick

[plural]

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: 17 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 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.

[in other words I'm ~10% better than men and ~20% better than women at spatial awareness]

Spot the difference

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

Your score: 50%
Average score for men: 39%
Average score for women: 46%

What does your score suggest?

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

[again I whup both groups handily]

Part 2 - 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.

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

Part 3 - Emotions and Systems

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

Empathising

Your empathy score is: 11 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.

[schooled the boys and still managed to nudge out the chickies]
[even though its supposed to be their forte]

Systemising

Your systemising score is: 17 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.

[busted out the can o' whoopass here]
[bested the men by 22.5% and the women by 45%]

Eyes

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

Your score: 9 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 7 - 10: Your result suggests you are a good empathiser, sensitive to other people's emotions.
Women generally fall into this category.

[something smells fishy here]
[men and women have the same average score]
[which I handily beat mind you]
[but its a feminine trait? beg the question much?]

Part 4

Fingers

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

Right Hand: 0.96
Left Hand: 0.96

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.

[so if I understand this correctly]
[men on average have a 0.01 point lower ratio]
[because they were exposed to more testosterone]
[I have a 0.03 point lower ratio]
[or 3 times more testosterone]
[so I am the man of men]

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.

[really you dont say...]

Part 6

3D shapes

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

Your score: 11 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 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.

[nope not an engineer, I just rock]
[and damn yall got smoked]
[you may commence bowing now]

Words

This task looked at your verbal fluency.

Your score: you associated 14 word(s) with grey and you named 9 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 6 - 10 words: Most people in this range have a female-type brain.

[6-10? my ass, try 23 biatch]
[thats double the average guy]
[and nearly so for women]

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

This task asked you how you would divide money.

If you had to split £50 with someone, you said you would demand £35

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.

[so all in all]
[I whupped the men in male dominated areas]
[and whupped the women in female dominated areas]
[and now you know]
[why I am the king]
