Brain Sex

http://www.bbc.co.uk/science/humanbody/sex/add_user.shtml?users=1

This is an interesting test for finding out your 'Sex I.D'

According to the resource, it says 'Some researchers say that men can have 'women's brains' and that women can think more like men.'

I just found it quite interesting =).

Results:



This task tested your ability to make spatial judgments.

You correctly matched 20 line(s) out of 20.

On average, men generally outperform women at this task, although it is important to note that many women score extremely well.

Males may generally score higher because they tend to pay more attention to space or the geometry of the world around them. Differences such as this may reflect differences in the brain.

One theory suggests that exposure to higher levels of testosterone before birth gives men an added advantage because the hormone may stimulate the development of the right hemisphere of the brain. This is the side that contributes most to spatial awareness. Complete all six parts to get your brain sex profile.

Next:



The spot the difference task tested your ability to recall objects' positions.

You correctly identified 3 out of 14.

You incorrectly identified 3 objects.

Did you know that women tend to outperform men on this task? Some scientists think that women's oestrogen levels make them much better at noticing details of their environment and spotting changes.

This might explain why women always seem to know where the car keys are!

Complete all six parts to get your brain sex profile.

You said your right thumb is on top. This suggests the left side of your brain is dominant.

The left side of your brain is said to be more adept at language, logic and linear thinking.

The right side of your brain is said to control your visual, spatial and intuitive processes.

We asked the questions you just answered to find out if you are more of an empathiser or a systemiser.

Your empathising score is 8 out of 20. This is an indication of your ability to read and respond to others' emotions.

Your systemising score is 6 out of 20. This indicates how much you enjoy exploring the intricacies of systems, for example playing strategy games and putting together flat pack furniture.

The eyes task analyses your ability to empathise. In other words, how in touch you are with other people's emotions.

Out of 10 pairs of eyes, you matched 8 with the correct mood.

Women are said to outperform men in this task because they tend to be more sensitive to facial expressions. They are generally better at discerning someone's mood just by looking at their eyes. Studies of children's behaviour have shown that on average girls make more eye contact than boys.

Hmmmmm!

Your digit ratio is:
Right Hand: 0.96
Left Hand: 0.96

Some scientists believe your index to ring finger length ratio can reveal a lot about your development in your mother's womb.

The amount of testosterone we are exposed to in the womb is thought to influence the growth of our ring fingers. This theory may explain why men's ring fingers are often longer than their index fingers. The average male ratio is .96.

On average, women's index and ring fingers are more or less of equal length, with a ratio of around 1.00.


This was probably one of the harder tasks. It tested your ability to mentally rotate an object in your head.

You scored 8 out of 12.
Studies have shown that men tend to do better than women at this task because performance is influenced by testosterone levels. Women with high testosterone levels often perform well too.



You associated 22 word(s) with grey and you named 29 word(s) that mean happy.

Did you know that, on average, women use 15,000 words a day while men use 7,000?

Women took about twice as long as men to end their online instant messenging conversations in a 2003 study of US university students. The study, which was published in the Journal of Language and Social Psychology, also found that women were much more likely to use emoticons (representations of emotions using punctuation marks).

The most popular emoticon was the smiley face :- )
