Be sure to have a metric ruler handy. Apparently size does mater after all.

I received a 50 on the male side. I demand a recount.

of the three scales, I was 50% male on two, 50% female on the other. I could run all over with this, but I tend to be more male, with a strong feminine streak. Seems reasonable to me.

I got a 25 to the female side, that really surprised me.

In many cases I did'nt know if I should belive that kind of test.

I'm left handed, and the test tells, that left handed have a dominat right brain side. That's makes them better fighters and artist, they're telling. This statements is right in my personal view, because I play in an orchestera for 25 years and I got good marks during my military time.

At Empathising I only got 3 out of 20 and at Systemising I got 18 out of 20. The word test told for me, that I'm more the strong an silent type. I think thats true.

I'm still wondering, why I'm to 25% on the female side, becaue I feel myself as a guy.

It was interessting to do that test, but it is no reason to change life.

Same here. However, I strongly suspect that the reason I ended on the masculine side was due to my higher scores on the spatial and object rotating tests (I got 11/12 on the rotating test), as I was on the feminine side on the finger index and emotion detection tests. I also performed very poorly on the object recall test (way below average for both sexes) where women tend to outperform men, wich was a great surprise to me as a eunuch with a castrate level of testosterone. According to few studies on ADT in prostate cancer survivors (mostly 65 yr and older), on the average, spatial abilities tend to decline 6 months to 1 year after castration, whith object recall and verbal fluency improving above the average male level over time*(wich suggest a more female-type shift in brain functioning after androgen deprivation). I had adequate scores on the verbal test though.
