Brain Sex Test

Studies show it is possible to gauge how masculine or feminine your brain is. These characteristics are in large part dependent upon how your brain processes information.

It is possible to be male and have mind attributes that are feminine in nature. The same is true for females who process information in a masculine manner.

However, this should not be construed to be indicative of sexuality of either a heterosexual or homosexual nature.

The accuracy of this test is greater when the questions are answered based on your initial impression to the question.

Scoring the Test

Male Scoring Guide:

Males should make the following calculations for each answer.

(a) add 10 Points
(b) add 5 Points
(c) subtract 5 Points

Female Scoring Guide:

Females should make the following calculations for each answer.

(a) add 15 Points
(b) add 5 Points
(c) subtract 5 Points

Both males and Females should add 5 points for unanswered questions.

Most males will scores between 0 and 60.

Most females will score between 50 and 100.

Scores between 50 and 60 indicate a compatibility between the masculine and feminine brain functions.

Male scores below 0 indicate a very masculine thought process.

Female scores above 100 indicate a brain wired in a very "feminine" manner.

Males scoring above 60 may show a inclination to a feminine brain function.

Females scoring below 50 may have a brain processing temperament leaning toward the male brain function.

All differences are based on a broad spectrum and are designed to be indicative of "average" gender differences in brain function. There are of course exceptions to every rule.
