What gender is your brain? →[More:]

Mine read: Your Brain is 73% Female, 27% Male.
Your brain leans female. You think with your heart, not your head. Sweet and considerate, you are a giver. But you're tough enough not to let anyone take advantage of you!

I...... sigh. It's too nice a day.

Your Brain is 33% Female, 67% Male...
You have a total boy brain
Logical and detailed, you tend to look at the facts
And while your emotions do sway you sometimes...
You never like to get feelings too involved

Yeah, my brain's got a big dick. or something.

My results:
Your Brain is 53% Female, 47% Male
Your brain is a healthy mix of male and female.
You are both sensitive and savvy.
Rational and reasonable, you tend to keep level headed.
But you also tend to wear your heart on your sleeve.

Yes, I am quite the person. I do sorta wish that it leaned a little more in accordance with my actual gender, but whatever.

This would surprise no-one who actually knows me.

I thought for sure I would be more male brained than female. I once had a guy tell me I treated men worse than any man ever treated a woman, that basically, I was worse than a man...

Crap, my brain is the same as jonmc's. This explains why I've been distracted lately.

Can I please have my brain back?

I, too, have QIbHom's brain.

Also I stole my musical tastes from Weird Al and my boobies are named 'Blouse bunnies'.

I haven't got a brain (I have no body, either). All I have is a bunch of transistors that make my hands jerk randomly. A dedicated microprocessor then analyzes the output in order to determine if it can be considered "valid" English. if(true) press(send);

my boobies names are Venus and Serena. I'm not sure how to feel about that since the Williams sisters are better known for their butts (nsfw)(must be my boy brain again, sorry)
posted by jonmc 20 September | 13:47
Venus and Serena understand.
posted by Daniel Charms 20 September | 13:55
47% female, 53% male for me.

Then, because it's such a predictable quiz I got to 87% male, answering the questions in a "male" manner. (although obviously not male enough, I can't figure out which ones I got "wrong")
posted by gaspode 20 September | 13:56
oh, and word, occhiblu. I agree. (with what you didn't say :) )
posted by gaspode 20 September | 13:57
podey, that was my same score. And I agree about what occhi didn't say, too, of course!

Oh well. It's not SCIENCE, it's a blog meme.

1. Looking fashionable is important to you.

I pretty much stopped at that point.

Wow, I'm like gaspode and Miko. Except for the plumbing and other physiology. Well and they're smart too. Oh, and nice. Hmmm, maybe I'm not like them at all!

I can't figure out which ones I got "wrong"

The "correct" (ie 100% male) answers were:
1) False;
2) Understanding what is being explained to you;
3) No;
4) Solve it yourself;
5) Drive your point home;
6) Depends on what it did;
7) You ask for an explanation;
8) False;
9) Are completely honest;
10) Politics, sports, or news;
11) False;
12) False;
13) Non fiction;
14) False;
15) You tend to lose touch with people fairly easily.

Ahhh, depth as well as width. ;)

Quick! Someone update the wiki!
posted by pieisexactlythree 20 September | 15:02
Sorry, pie, I'm with gaspode and occhiblu on this one.

But I'll say what they didn't.

That quiz is stupid.

"Hey, let's list a bunch of stereotypically femine things and a bunch of stereotypically masculine things and put radio buttons next to them and tell people it's a BRAIN GENDER QUIZ!!! Livejournal and MySpace users will love it!"
posted by mudpuppie 20 September | 15:05
"Livejournal and MySpace users will love it!"

Know why?

Cuz they're girls.
posted by occhiblu 20 September | 15:12
Interesting how negatives (false, non-) are associated with masculine, whereas positives are associated with feminine...
posted by Daniel Charms 20 September | 15:12
Hee. I quite literally just clicked from this discussion to a blog whose top story is:

Bias Is Hurting Women in Science, Panel Reports

(Which is an interesting article about a study that scientifically proves Larry Summers is full of shit. Those of us who rely on our feelings and emotions, rather than bothering with that hard science stuff that boys think is so cool, of course already knew this.)
posted by occhiblu 20 September | 15:18
occhiblu, I would have thought the text of the article would have been "Duh."
posted by Specklet 20 September | 15:37
I suspect that's the text of the actual report, Specklet.
posted by occhiblu 20 September | 16:07
I didn't realize that stupid quiz would be so off-putting, I just thought it was amusing and funny. Sorry all.
posted by getoffmylawn 20 September | 16:11
Calm down, goml. I said the quiz was stupid, I didn't say the post or the quiz-takers were stupid. There's a difference.
posted by mudpuppie 20 September | 16:14
No sweat! I didn't think that anyone was saying I was stupid, or that I shouldn't have posted it. I was saying sorry that I shouldn't have wasted valuable FP real estate on something so silly when I should have posted this article about the Hanty-Panty.

Around here, gender-variation topics are always guaranteed to get a certain contingent of us hopping up and down. It's okay. We enjoy it. Heck, it's one of the reasons we hang out here!

hop hop hop

I like that it let me skip the most retarded of the questions.
posted by Eideteker 21 September | 03:36
If you were really 60% femalebrain, you wouldn't use "retarded," Eid; you would say "quizzically-challenged". :)

I came out the same as gaspode, miko, and eek.

I actually hesitated to use the term (in part because it's technically incorrect, but also because it's 'played out' in much the same way that saying something is 'gay' or 'on crack' are), but the more impulsive female half of my brain overpowered the rational half momentarily; which left my man brain slightly disheveled and halfway embarrassed to be really turned on by that.

I'm sorry; I just went to a place somewhere in that last paragraph.

Apparently richat and I share a brain.

I thought all Canadjuns shared a brain under your various Socialization initiatives. Or has my government been lying to me again? *looks disapprovingly at his government and wags his finger as the theme music for "That Darn Government" plays*
