You scored 36.667 out of 100 masculine points, 50 out of 100 feminine points, and 48.333 out of 100 androgynous (neutral) points.
Undifferentiated then, which is what I was expecting. |

| I like words along with pictures. Textbooks are good because they generally have exactly that, and when taking tests in school I will have vague snapshots of the pages in my head, so that I can remember the layout and where certain bits of information were. As long as I have the visual element (word... |

| I hardly ever talk. I only speak when spoken to, unless I'm at home. Then sometimes I talk quite a lot. But usually I hate talking and it seems like too much of an effort to do so, and I can never express myself as perfectly as I'd like to, which is why I vastly prefer writing. |

| I have dermatophagia, but I can't recall ever in my entire life biting another person. Probably because I don't like touching people, and having their skin in my mouth would be even grosser to me. |

| I'm not sure that I've ever walked in a "bouncy" way, but I do have a tendency to walk pretty fast (to the point that in high school one of my most prominent pet peeves was how slow everyone else walked in the halls) and also about half my life ago my mom told me that I walked wrong because I walked... |

| When I "thought of" a cat, I automatically "pictured" a cat. An orange tabby, to be specific. I'm pretty visual though, I think. Both in thinking and learning. |
