Still..dead center..precisely where it was last summer..

That is interesting..that everything else changed but that...

But i guess perhaps..that means that brain gender is more hardwired...

than reciprocal social communication difficulties..at least in some folks..like
me..where it seems environment was more responsible for that than innate potential....

So...
I can decode 3d pictures, but not simple lines. I can read the eyes, but not the lives. I'm right hand dominant and left hand female ("Palmala" agrees). I'm a literary genius with words - at least when describing happy hippos, cheery mice, and gleeful pachyderms (with positive outlooks!). I can't organize squat - nor can I recognize another's disorders or disarray. And I listened to my mother's logic way too much as a kid. And still do.

And I'm okay with that.

I guess.

Ps: it's 5am and I haven't slept more than 6 hours in two days. Somebody knock me out?

Pogo.

This.
In fact, I find myself feeling distinctly uncomfortable when males around me behave in that fashion.

But I could get 20/20 if I did it again. The time limit made me anxious so I missed 3 at start. xD

It got nothing to do with "female brain" in this case. It is just my aspie brain and photographic memory. 60 seconds was more than enough to remember the image. I got it 13/14, missed one because my clicks changed the look of the image and I couldnt compare it anymore.

Faces
Your choices suggest you prefer more masculine faces.


It is because I choose "female" in preferences (both genders are almost equally attractive to me). If I choose "male" I would get the opposite - more feminine faces preference.

Fair. 50-50. This way they can't say I am greed and get angry.


Overall: 25% female score. But the test is not right in my opinion. I feel like a 25% male.

I was born male, and I have never thought of myself as anything else. Never an Alpha Male involved in sports, or competent with the opposite sex growing up, but rather a nerd interested in comic books and action figures, I still always had a sense of my own masculinity.

So.. is neutral - one doesnt identify with a concept of gender, and strongly not one identifies with the opposite gender? Or neutral one is neutral with regard to this issue and is kind of ok with the assigned gender, and then strongly not is not ok with the assigned gender?

Yeah, but I'll clarify

I don't believe gender to be monolithic.

Similarly there are guys who are human gorillas, some segments of culture consider that the only path of being authentically male. Were gentleman like Pythagoras, Virgil, or Plotinus inauthentically male? Hardly so.

I tend pensive/reflective for sure but that's not necessarily an unmasculine thing, nor is it necessarily an unfeminine thing these days - perhaps more of a third component to the mixture but one that doesn't in my honest opinion mute one's sexuality.

I said I identify mildly because - my physique, my secondary sexual charictaristics as well as the bate and tackle, they're part of the aesthetic that I have to work with. Considering that I'm focusing my life more on continually adding beauty from the standpoint of dignity and integrity to that aesthetic. Part of that is realizing that my nonverbal gestalt will follow my deepest beliefs regarding who I am and this backlights the physical in ways that either dignify or degrade it. Accordingly I aim for the more transcendent path of the two wherever I can find it.

'Neutral' is don't feel gendered, be it male or female.

I went for neutral. I don't feel male or female, that is, neither masculine nor feminine. I look at other men, and I can only think that to be as they are I'd have to in some way feel 'male'. But, nor do I feel particularly 'female' or feminine. How I seem to others, how ohers may see me, is something else to consider. But, left to my own devices, I don't feel gendered.

I've been thinking about it a lot, especially from the interesting answers and that test, and will be writing and responding more later.

I usually don't talk about it since I feel I've gotten ridiculed for it in the past.

I totally agree with this, that sounds like me.

For me, it really depends on the issue. For example, I have a very strong sex drive towards women, because I'm a man. However, I also tend to show my emotions a lot, which has long been associated more with women. I was raised in and around a family that's dominantly female, and the few male role-models I had were idiots. I wasn't taught to hide or deny my feelings, or that showing them makes men weak. So, when I see the typical "macho" types in the world, it seems very strange to me. I don't cross-dress or speak in a high nasal voice, but I do gesture quit a bit in conversation.

I identify as male. I scored somewhat male on the test. I like ladies very much.
