This is doing the rounds on Facebook. If this is the sort of thing people use to decide they're 'in the wrong body', well, it might explain why TRAs have some problems with uppity wimmin. www.idrlabs.com/gender/

I’m 47% masculine and 47% feminine- I’m very worried about my missing 6%!

Stripesgalore · 28/06/2020 21:05

It was invented at Stanford in the 1970s but has been updated since.

KittyMcKitty · 28/06/2020 21:06

^ forgot to say it told me I’m undifferentiated/ androgynous apparently.

MiniMum97 · 28/06/2020 21:07

Ha ha ha ha ha. Apparently I'm casually masculine whatever that means. What a load of tosh.

These were the references the online quiz gave under the results:

‘This test was constructed on the basis of the following studies:

Donnelly & Twenge: Masculine and Feminine Traits on the Bem Sex-Role Inventory, 1993–2012: a Cross-Temporal Meta-Analysis (Sex Roles 0360-0025 2016)
Holt & Ellis: Assessing the Current Validity of the Bem Sex-Role Inventory (Sex Roles Volume 39, Issue 11-12 1998)
Lee & Kashubeck-West: Factor Structure of the Bem Sex Role Inventory in Samples of Ethnically Diverse Young Adults in the U.S. (Journal of Asia Pacific Counseling 2015)

What should my pronouns be?

endlessginandtonic · 28/06/2020 21:09

What messages are we giving boys like my son, if you are warm, kind and caring you really aren't a bloke!

And my dd isn't a girl if she knows her own mind, there is nothing androgynous about her.

TorkTorkBam · 28/06/2020 21:13

It isn’t a test of gender identity and never mentions trans. It is about sex role stereotypes.

They are indeed very careful to point this out themselves.

Genuinely, I am sure we are all amused because of the current trend for confusing gender identity with sex stereotypes with what it means to be a woman or man.

LynetteScavo · 28/06/2020 21:16

I'm 53% masculine and 50% feminine. That makes me androgynous, apparently. Grin

Stripesgalore · 28/06/2020 21:16

Torktork, that makes sense, in the way that non binary is not special, as basically everyone’s mum is non binary.

GrumpyGran8 · 28/06/2020 21:22

I started the test, but gave up when I got to "sentimental". I've put down poison for rats and mice, and disposed of the subsequent bodies, with nothing but a feeling of regret. But show me a video of a three-legged puppy or a basket of rescued kittens, and I'm immediately in tears. So which should I have chosen?

JaneJeffer · 28/06/2020 21:29

I'm undifferentiated-androgynous Grin

missymousey · 28/06/2020 21:30

Undifferentiated Androgynous. Huh?? Right, we're off to change our pronouns and add "menstruator" after our email signature... Hmm

JaneJeffer · 28/06/2020 21:33

I also have 23% missing Confused

TheABC · 28/06/2020 21:37

Off to tell DH my gender is now masculine and he is apparently gay.
You have given me a good laugh, OP.

JaneJeffer · 28/06/2020 21:38

I think @PlanDeRaccordement stole my 23% Angry

Steamfan · 28/06/2020 21:42

I'm Undifferentiated-Androgynous. But I only got 78% - 42 male, 36 female

DCIRozHuntley · 28/06/2020 21:43

I'm 53% masculine and 47% feminine.

I did this test while breastfeeding and having a period. Grin

RaininSummer · 28/06/2020 21:44

I am 64 percent masculine apparently. Quite surprising. Must be because I am not a soft sap judging by the questions they asked.

waterproofed · 28/06/2020 21:45

100% masculine
42% feminine

Please can this utter bullshit die already.

Whenwillthisbeover · 28/06/2020 21:47

Whatbollocks, I’m casually masculine because I’m not a submissive female.

MrsElijahMikaelson1 · 28/06/2020 21:48

Came out as 85% feminine and 55% masculine Fuck me, I am ginormous!🤣

excitedemmi · 28/06/2020 22:00

I'm not sure what to do with this information. 69% (heeheehee) masculine and 53% feminine. I'm casually masculine.

PaperDoesntMoveMuchOverTeams · 28/06/2020 22:00

I’m casually masculine. Does that mean I should wear Farah’s and a Pringle sweater?

teawamutu · 28/06/2020 22:12

What does it mean when you have more than 100% of a personality? Am I even more speshsul?

Honestly, what utter bullshit.
