Bem Sex Role

[wasteland]

Aside from the results, which may or may not be accurate, the procedure of this test looks quite questionable to me.

Not so surprising tbh. I never was too masculine.

[MasterShakezula]

I'm a bit surprised I got put in the masculine ball at all.

Likewise. I was expecting mine to tell me I was pregnant.

Must've noticed my beard or something.

[philmcson]

Androgynous, yaaaaaay 

[kirksnosehair]

That test is ridiculous

Well, you have to be pretty masculine to hunt leopards, right?

[r0cken]

Hello to all the androgynous folk.   

[Heretic]

Aye, felt good reading this while combing my long, manly beard.

In all seriousness, though, the criteria that is tested with this doesn't accurately measure a person's sex role at all. I mean, I would agree that I'm certainly a more masculine person, but just because I have empathy or compassion doesn't mean that should change how masculine I am. I was somewhat inclined to believe empathy and compassion were traits of...human beings?

All in all this test seems a bit wonky in what it measures. A person's sex role isn't exactly determined by how prone to conflict they are.

That's what I was kinda getting at with my comments.  Whoever created the test seems to feel that being aggressive makes you more masculine and being compassionate makes you more feminine.  True, these are traits we've come to associate more with one gender than the other, in general terms, and since the majority of cultures around the world follow those basic lines, then that's what they're using as their bases.

I think it's foolish to try to simplify traits of human personality that much, and just plain stupid to turn around and use it to "identify" or "quantify" one's sexuality by it.  I like to think that I'm a reasonably compassionate person.  That makes me "feminine"?  A woman who has an assertive personality is "masculine"?  It's not that simple.  Not even close.

I think that being in the "androgynous" or "undifferentiated" areas, rather than at either extreme, simply means that you're a reasonably well-balanced person.  It sure as hell doesn't mean that you're sexually confused or someone whose gender isn't readily apparent.

According to the test, I present to you the most masculine person alive.

Well, second most masculine after Chuck Norris, to whom compassion is an STD to which he is quite immune.

As usual, I find myself in complete agreement with you.

I don't think any test could accurately measure femininity and masculinity.  Any test is going to have to rely on the stereotypes of modern gender roles.  Granted, this one's stereotypes are especially dated, but I think if you took this test expecting accurate results, you're a silly goose.

Personal attack. Reported.

Awww.

Uh oh, I like hugs, must be a girl. 

[Scorpion]

Uh oh, I like hugs, must be a girl.

You are. I'm only hugging you to feel your boobs.

[Orbert]

You guys are so feminine.
