Well that's okay, I'm fine with keeping it neutral.

very interesting stuff...

scored about a 25 on the male side....did well on the angles and empathy.... not so well on spot the difference

It was hard with the finger measure thing

I think this can be useful as a general guide line, but I wouldn't take it to strongly. It might be good at testing the gender of your brain in absolutes(then again I think Mr. Galusha said he was on the woman's side?), if there is such a thing, but I think that there is to large of a spectrum to accurately test the levels.

Don't get me wrong it does have a lot of biological background which is good such as the finger ratio.

But I think to much nurture is involved: individual, societal, and cultural differences and biases. I also wonder the types of people who take this test? does that make it bias in it's own? Also possible biological differences between races?

all in all however I think it is a good tool to test brain sex
