How do you score on the Bem Sex-Role Inventory?

I think it's something like "neither male nor female".

I think it has something to do with how confident you answer yes and no to things, or at least how the test interprets that.

Androgynous would translate to "I have both masculine and feminine traits and both are equally as dominant, and I am aware I use both of them equally as often"
Indifferent would translate to "I sometimes use masculine traits, but sometimes also use feminine traits, and I am not sure which is more dominant, and if I actually can give a definite yes to either"

Just a brainstorm idea here so correct me if I am wrong.

As an example: a androgynous personality would for instance give a definite yes to both leadership and caring traits in a way of saying " I am a leader and I also care", whereas a indifferent personality would answer more in the lines of " I am able to lead but I am not sure if I am a leader, and I am able to care but I am not sure if that is always true".

So I think it depends on the ratio of sometimes vs. definite.

I dunno, sounds weird to me too.

The way I read it, the Masculine have Masculine traits
The Feminine have Feminine traits
The Androgynous have both.

The Indifferent have neither, like Zombies then.

108 Masculine
75 Feminine

Anyone actually get the result of their assigned gender here?

91 Masculine 91 Feminine

Your personality is androgynous. Well this explains a lot, though I thought I would end up as indifferent.

102 Masculine, 84 Feminine and 0 Neutral.

It matched my sex, but not necessarily my gender...

But bad test anyway.
