Unprecedented Serious Affair: Your Psychological Gender

[Tengukami]

Since the subject came up in the BDSM thread, you might be happy to know that you can take a test that helps determine your psychological gender.

There are five genders: masculine, feminine, cross-sexed (opposite your physical gender), androgynous (both) and undifferentiated (neither). And it's not originally an online test, but used to be a pencil-and-paper test created way back in the early 70s.

The Bem Sex Role Inventory (BSRI) was developed in 1971 by Dr. Sandra Lipsitz Bem. It provides independent assessments of masculinity and femininity in terms of the respondent?s self-reported possession of socially desirable, stereotypically masculine and feminine personality characteristics. This can also be seen as a measurement of the extent to which respondents spontaneously sort self-relevant information into distinct masculine and feminine categories. The self administering questionnaire measures masculinity, femininity, androgyny, and undifferentiated, using the Masculinity and Femininity scales.

Take it online, and post results. You might be surprised.

EDIT: Do keep in mind that this test does not conclusively nail you down into one psychological gender. Normally you take a series of tests under the supervision of a trained physician. It is not a substitute for a professional assessment.

EDIT EDIT: Muffin found the unabridged version of the test. Take both tests and compare the scores - so far people are seeing a lot of consistency. YMMV.

I don't need no stinking quiz to tell me that I'm ALL MAN BABY

I like to DRINK BEER
I like to WATCH FOOTBALL
I like to FUCK SUPERMODELS
I like to BLOW SHIT UP
I like to GRILL THINGS ON FIRE
I like to BASEBALL BAT

[Matsuri]

I scored 40% masculine, 80% feminine. Pretty close as to what I expected.

[Benny1]

Androgynous

You scored 60% masculinity and 67% femininity!

Unfortunately, this means nothing.  No, I'm no manly man, and yes, I'm sensitive, but I'm still very happy with being male and am rather stable in that.  Didn't think I'd score higher in feminine than masculine though, that's kind of funny.

[Sana]

Undifferentiated: 20% Masculinity, 43% Femininity. I guess I should've answered "often" more? :S

[Helepolis]

I refuse to undergo that test. It is against my manlyness.

[trancehime]

It is sad that I am the only one noticing the completely broken math

You cannot be 130% gender

[Pesco]

Feminine

Mindhax screwed with my score.

[♛ Apher-Forte]

I am happy of my result

You scored high on both masculinity and femininity. You have a strong personality exhibiting characteristics of both traditional sex roles.
Rate my test!


Compared to other takers

    * 27/100 You scored 50% on masculinity, higher than 27% of your peers.
    * 23/100 You scored 50% on femininity, higher than 23% of your peers.

50/50 too, that means I must be pretty strange as a guy. I suppose that probably means I wasn't living the way I was supposed to back in high school because I wanted to be all gangsta tough man guy, and now I am more approachable with my stronger feminine side.

That said, my perception of myself is to answer mostly 'sometimes' which really is just me being melancholic.

That's not how it works.

The questions are one-third masculine, one-third feminine, and one-third neutral. If you click the link, you'll say you're asked to assess yourself on a scale of "never" to "always" in terms of particular traits (e.g., "secretive", "leadership" etc.). The scores mark your scale of affirmation for masculine and feminine traits. So someone answering "sometimes" or "never" on masculine questions scores a low masculine level. It is possible to score a high masculine level and a high feminine level.

But not a high neutral level?

(Or the applicable neutral aliens Futurama quote here)

"I very strongly do not have an opinion!"

EDIT: Scoring low on masculine and feminine traits I guess counts as a "high neutral" level.

[Menorah Jams, Pham]

I wish to be the little gender neutral pronoun ;_;

We are men TSO. If we would take that test, it would break with the error saying: "You are too awesome for this."

[♛ Apher-Forte]

There is a way around to hide your insecurity about your psychological gender, in any field that doesn't say 'I AM SO MAN MY BALLS ARE THE SIZE OF MOUNTAINS AND MY DICK PIERCES THE MILKY WAY' click ALWAYS
