This is a 6 part test that attempts to determine how "male or female" brained you are, regardless of your anatomy. 

I scored slightly to the right, meaning I have a mostly male brain (I'm male). I did get 9/10 on the part where you had to determine the emotion by looking at eyes, which I didn't expect.

I scored exactly the average that men score when taking the test(50). In some categories I scored better than I expected, in others worse. In conclusion I' m male brain-wise! :D

I landed right on 50 on the male side of the spectrum, which means I have an average male brain.

I landed dead center. Does that make me asexual?

On the plus side, I did get a perfect score on 3D shapes.

Yeah, I think they could've done a way better job on the scaling. By the looks of it you only have 5 spots to land on, and landing in the middle doesn't tell me anything. In all honesty I was really interested to see where I'd fair too.

Now what definition of male and female are they using? Is this basically a test that stereotypes various gender roles? Regardless of where you land on the scale who's to say that that makes your brain any more gender female than male. It seems to me that test would vary wildly depending on the culture that makes the test.

I got 25 on the male side. I feel like I lost "man points" for being able to read emotions (I got 10/10 in the eye reading test) and having smaller ring fingers than index fingers.

lol.. evidently i'm a woman.. i should not have rushed though the angle and 3d rotation tests..

 

 also, killed the verbal one but it said the test will just assume all the answers are correct.   one could just write a bunch of gibberish and it'll score it as high.    smooth.

I do terrible on that one everytime. I can only remember a few objects.

On the 3d rotation I scored 11/12 the first time I took it over a year ago, but only 6/12 this time :|. Got 19/20 on the angles though.

Same, but I skipped the ruler thing because I don't have a ruler. If I do, I wasn't gonna take the time to look for it. :P

I have a male brain and I don't need some silly test to tell me that.
