Here's a link to the Bem Sex Role Inventory

Thought it might be fun to compare notes.

Here's mine:

70 out of 100 masculine points, 45.833 out of 100 feminine points and 66.667 out of 100 androgynous (neutral) points.

Let's see...45 masculine, 83.33 feminine, and 55 neutral.

Fran · Jan 29, 2010

54.167 out of 100 masculine points, 61.667 out of 100 feminine points, and 60 out of 100 androgynous (neutral) points.

I'm not really sure what it all means but there ya go.

JLCwrites · Jan 29, 2010

You scored 61.667 out of 100 masculine points, 64.167 out of 100 feminine points, and 60.833 out of 100 androgynous (neutral) points.

Sounds about right. Now, will someone toss me a beer please? Make sure its a porter. *Applies lip gloss*

mscelina · Jan 29, 2010

Ha! 80 masculine points, 54.167 feminine points and 63.3333 androgynous points.

So since when are assertiveness, the ability to stand up for one's beliefs and leadership skills 'masculine' qualities? Inquiring minds want to know.

I wondered that too. Men aren't supposed to be caring and gentle? Who knew? It's why I don't place much faith in these things.

Take it with a grain of salt. The BSRI is almost 40 years old

There's a lot of psych that smacks of pseudoscience. I just thought it would be fun for a laugh.

You scored 65.833 out of 100 masculine points, 76.667 out of 100 feminine points, and 70 out of 100 androgynous (neutral) points.

No, I'm not offended. I'm just curious and the age of the test clears a lot of that up for me. When a psych test is as old/older than I am, it hasn't taken into consideration the strides made in gender roles assignment since then. My mother's generation would have scored high on the feminine part; my generation, not so much. It'll be interesting to see how the generation of my daughters scores--mostly because IMO, they've gone a little backwards--a natural reaction of the pendulum swings of gender relations.

But, thinking of it that way, it really hits home how far women have come to break out of their 'natural place' in the world. Pretty cool stuff all the way around.

So true. And also true about the slight backlash. I'm certainly of a mind that the less rigid the gender roles become, the better off we all are. I'd love to see more male nurses, teachers, and stay-home parents (as well as other occupations traditionally considered more feminine). Definitely, it would be good to see more flexibility in the workplace for both genders of parents and more flexibility in court custody rulings.

70 m, 55 f, 54 a.

I have no idea what that means. Should I be enrolling in mime school?

Would that mean you'd stop talking? :tongue

DeleyanLee · Jan 29, 2010

You scored 64.167 out of 100 masculine points, 54.167 out of 100 feminine points, and 52.5 out of 100 androgynous (neutral) points.

The feminine points are higher than I expected, honestly.

72.5 out of 100 masculine points, 57.5 out of 100 feminine points, and 60.833 out of 100 androgynous (neutral) points.

Well...I'm not really surprised by the results.

DeleyanLee · Jan 29, 2010

Hmmm. Wonder how it would differ if a friend/spouse took the quiz for us--are we really as we think we are?

ad_lucem · Jan 29, 2010

Hmm, will have to try that. Thanks, now I have a new way to tormet the hubby. As if being hormonal and plagued by terminal cabin fever weren't enough inspiration

Seriously, might be interesting! It's all well and good to self-evaluate, but it makes ya wonder...

rhymegirl · Jan 29, 2010

It says I scored 36.667 (masculine), 79.167 (feminine), and 70.833 (neutral)

Ambrosia · Jan 29, 2010

I am using these tests to procrastinate from going out in the cold and snow to get feed at the feed mill. When my h comes home and bitches at me, I am going to blame you, Ad_lucem.

You scored 80 out of 100 masculine points, 77.5 out of 100 feminine points, and 68.333 out of 100 androgynous (neutral) points.

You scored 71.667 out of 100 masculine points, 75 out of 100 feminine points, and 65 out of 100 androgynous (neutral) points.

Bloody hell, I'm coming out of these tests these evening a lot more well-rounded than I ever thought I was!

semilargeintestine · Jan 29, 2010

You scored 64.167 out of 100 masculine points, 74.167 out of 100 feminine points, and 59.167 out of 100 androgynous (neutral) points.

Sounds about right.

kayleamay · Jan 29, 2010

I scored 80 masculine, 60 feminine and 55 androgynous.

This test is a crock of shit.

*bites cap off beer and grabs a seat next to Turkey*

Belch.

I guess the age of the test speaks volumes.

EFCollins · Jan 29, 2010

You scored 24.074 out of 100 masculine points, 85.088 out of 100 feminine points, and 74.074 out of 100 androgynous (neutral) points.
