If you scored 0 – 12:You have more of a female brain. Scientists believe that people with afemale brain find it more difficult to judge the slope of a linebecause they’re not wired for spatial tasks. In past studies, 65 percent of people who scored in this range were women.

If you scored 13 – 17:You found this test neither hard nor easy. This suggests your brain hasmale and female traits when it comes to spatial ability.

If you scored 18 – 20:You have more of a male brain. On average, men outperform women in thistask and those with more mathematical knowledge tend to score quitehigh as well. In past studies, 60 per cent of the people in this rangewere men.

Interestingly, men’s testosterone levels fluctuate through theseasons and studies have shown that men’s scores are lower in thespring, when their testosterone levels are at their lowest.

If you scored between 0 – 33%: Youmay have more of a male brain. Scientists say men tend to under performin this task. The corpus callosum, the part of the brain that links theright and left hemispheres, is a fifth larger in women. This meanswomen can process visual and other signals at the same time more easilythan men. There is also a theory that oestrogen levels in women givethem an added advantage in spatial memory.

If you scored between 34 – 66%: You may have a balanced female-male brain.

If you scored between 67 – 100%:Those with a female-type brain generally score in this range. Yourability to remember where objects are may serve as an advantage to youwhen you’re trying to find your way around places. You’re more capableof recalling landmarks to get from one place to another.

You said your right thumb was on top when you clasped your hands together.

Right thumb on top: This suggests the left half ofyour brain is dominant. Many studies have tried to establish whetherthere is a relationship between handedness and brain dominance. Somescientists believe that if you are left brain dominant, you would bemore verbal and analytical.

Left thumb on top: This suggests the right half ofyour brain is dominant. Some studies theorise that as a right braindominant person, you may excel in visual, spatial and intuitiveprocesses.

However, these theories are debatable and leave much to be said about the small percentage of people who are ambidextrous.

This task looked at whether you prefer to empathise or systemise.

Empathising

<!– if (typeof active_cookie.emp_score == "undefined" || isNaN(active_cookie.emp_score)) { document.write("No score available. It appears you didn’t complete this task.“); } else { document.write(“Your empathy score is: ” +active_cookie.emp_score+” out of 20″); } // –> Your empathy score is: 8 out of 20

<!– if (typeof active_cookie.emp_score != "undefined" && ! isNaN(active_cookie.emp_score)) { document.write("What does your result suggest?

“); } // –> What does your result suggest?

Empathisers are better at accurately judging other people’s emotionsand responding appropriately. If you scored 15 and above, you are veryempathic and would be an ideal person to comfort people in a time ofcrisis. Women in general are better at empathising.

Systemising

<!– if (typeof active_cookie.sys_score == "undefined" || isNaN(active_cookie.sys_score)) { document.write("No score available. It appears you didn’t complete this task.“); } else { document.write(“Your systemising score is: ” +active_cookie.sys_score+” out of 20″); } // –> Your systemising score is: 11 out of 20
Average score for men: 12.5 out of 20

<!– if (typeof active_cookie.sys_score != "undefined" && ! isNaN(active_cookie.sys_score)) { document.write("What does your result suggest?

“); } // –> What does your result suggest?

Systemisers prefer to investigate how systems work. A system can be aroad map, flat pack furniture, or a mathematical equation – anythingthat follows a set of rules. A score of 15 and above suggests you’regood at analysing or building systems. Men in general are better atsystemising.

Scientistsare keen to learn more about people who score high or low on bothtests. They want to find out whether or not empathising and systemisingare linked. Is a possible to make yourself more empathic?

Some scientists claim that our empathy and systemising abilities can be traced all the way back to prehistoric times. Find out more.

If you scored 0 – 3: Do you think you’re good at judging how anotherperson is feeling? Your score suggests this doesn’t come to you quiteso naturally.

Ifyou scored 4 – 6: Your result suggests you have a balanced female-malebrain and find it neither easy nor difficult to judge people’semotions.

If you scored 7 – 10: Your result suggests youare a good empathiser, sensitive to other people’s emotions. Womengenerally fall into this category.

Professor Baron-Cohen at the University of Cambridge says that people usually perform better than they expect to on this test.

We asked you to measure your ring and index fingers. Your ratios came to:

Left Hand: ” + theLeft; document.write(str); // –> Right Hand: 0.96
Left Hand: 0.97

Average ratio for men: 0.982
Average ratio for women: 0.991

It’s thought that your ratio is governed by the amount oftestosterone you were exposed to in your mother’s womb. The ratio ofthe length of your index finger to the length of your ring finger isset for life by as early as three months after conception. Even duringpuberty, when we experience intensive hormonal changes, the ratio staysthe same.

Men generally have a ring finger that is longer than their indexfinger, which gives them a lower ratio than women, whose ring and indexfingers are usually of equal length.

Studies have found that men and women with lots of brothers generally have more masculine finger ratios. Find out what other things scientists think our ratios may tell us.

Thistask looked at how you rate the attractiveness of a series of faces.The images you looked at were digitally altered to create slightdifferences in masculinity.

<!– // masculineif (typeof active_cookie.masc_val == "undefined") { var str = "No result available.

Highly masculinised male faces possess more extreme testosteronemarkers such as a long, broad and lower jaw, as well as more pronouncedbrow ridges and cheekbones.

Interestingly, women’s preferences are said to vary across themenstrual phase. A more masculine face is preferred during the 9 daysprior to ovulation, when conception is most likely.

A typical ‘attractive’ female face possesses features such as ashorter, narrower, lower jaw, fuller lips and larger eyes than anaverage face.

If you scored 0 – 6:Do you find yourself having to physically rotate a map to point in thedirection in which you’re travelling? This might explain why you scoredin the lower range in the 3D shapes test. Twice as many women as menscore in this category. Previous studies suggest that those with afemale-type brain or with an arts background fall into this range.

If you scored 7 – 9: In past studies, 50 per cent of the people who scored in this range were women and 50 per cent were men.

If you scored 10 – 12: Are you an engineer or doyou have a science background? People with these skills tend to scorein this range. Past studies have concluded that people in this rangehave a more male brain.

Nearly a third of men who took this test got full marks, whereas less than 10 per cent of women managed the same. Find out why.

This task looked at your verbal fluency.

Your score: you associated 19 word(s) with grey and you named 10   word(s) that mean happy. We are assuming that all the words you entered are correct.

Average score for men: 11.4 words total
Average score for women: 12.4 words total

If you produced 1 – 5 words: You are more of the strong, silent typewith a male brain. You probably find it easier to express yourself innon-verbal ways, preferring action rather than words.

If you produced 6 – 10 words: Most people in this range have a female-type brain. 

Women are said to use both sides of the brain when doing verbaltasks while men mainly use their left side. Studies have shown thatgirls develop vocabulary faster than boys. This difference in brainpower is caused by levels of pre-natal testosterone. Find out more .

Sex differences are small in this task. Demanding less than 60% of thepot (ie £30) is more typically female. Demanding more than 65% of thepot (ie £32.50) is more typically male.

Scientists believe that people with lower testosterone levels tendto take fewer risks so they are probably more willing to keep less forthemselves. Those with higher testosterone levels tend to drive aharder bargain and are less compromising.

My Results

Extraversion

Somepeople like lots of stimulation; they want people around them, activityand excitement, whilst others prefer to be able to focus on things in acalm and quiet environment. Most people prefer a blend of the twoextremes and your answers suggest that you are quite comfortable ineither situation. You can probably cope with things being a bit hecticor a bit quiet but, like most people, you may find extremes in eitherdirection uncomfortable or annoying.

Confidence

Somepeople make decisions very easily and tend not to worry about thembefore or afterwards while, at the other extreme, some people are socareful and cautious that the decisions never get made! Taking acautious approach can be a good thing (do you want to fly with a pilotthat is so free from worry and concern that she never checks hercontrols and instruments and doesn’t bother to communicate withair-traffic control?) and you seem to have described yourself assomeone who does tend to be quite cautious and careful. This can bevery important in detailed work or areas were mistakes can have a majorcost although you may find yourself avoiding risks and many cautiouspeople wish they were bolder.

Openness

While some peoplelike experimenting with new things and ideas, others prefer traditionalmethods and taking a very practical approach to problems.

Youranswers suggest that you may more interested in the creative, new andexperimental aspects of situations than dealing with the routinepracticalities. While your dreams and plans may not always beachievable, you are likely to be very open to new ideas and ways ofdoing things.

Agreeableness

Most people want to be ableto get on with others but to some it is the most important thing in theworld, whilst others are quite happy to upset someone else if it meansthat things get done.

Your answers suggest that you are notprepared to put up with being messed about with and are quitecomfortable being direct with people, even if this upsets them. You maytherefore find it frustrating working in an environment that is verypolite and where upsetting people makes it harder to get things done.

Conscientiousness

Somepeople like everything to be well planned, tidy and organised, whilstothers prefer to deal with things as they come up and appear to work inabsolute chaos.

Your answers suggest that you don’t like havingthings too structured or being tied down and you can cope quite wellwithout having to have everything organised. This may make it hard tofind things at times or for colleagues to know where you are or whatyou are doing, but you probably find coping with the unexpected (thethings your colleagues didn’t plan for!) easier than many.
