= Brain Gender Assessment = =Part 1= My brain gender score was around 25 closer to the female side. I scored in the middle for both angles and spotting the difference. My right thumb was over my left so it means that I have a more masculine mind. According to the test I’m not very empathetic, systemizing I scored 15 which means I like building system. eyes I scored 8 out of 10 which means im a good empathizer, that contradicts the score I have above for how empathetic I am. My face choices says I like more feminine features. I scored low on the 3d shapes which apparently is less masculine. I scored high on word usage. =Part 2= I think that the brain gender assignment doesn’t really bring a fair measurement. It rates things that I don’t think really matters like finger length or which thumbs go on top. While I do understand some of the things like preferring famine features because I learned how to read body language and I study up on male and female character, but the other stuff doesn’t seem to make much sense why women should be better with word usage or why men are better at using a map. =Part 3= The articles that we read claim that the research behind the tests that they have for brain gender analysis have flaws. One flaw was that there are preconceived notions of male and female minds such as boys are better at math then girls when studies show that it’s not necessarily that boys are better it’s that they have a wider range of grades from high to low. The studies also show that people also over interpret information given to them like the male fetus being bathed in fetus means that it will be better in math. There is also the theory of self-fulfillment such that if you say women are worse at math to a group of women before they take a test it will cause them to doubt their abilities and that will make them do worse on the test. This means that the studies can’t always be trusted. The studies also mention that we blame too much on a single factor such as testosterone to explain why men and women are so much different than men in certain factors. There are also many cultural factors as to why men and women are different like a European study might show one thing but a Japanese study might have completely different results. To improve the study they could expand on several of the test instead of asking for you to answer thirty question maybe ask 60 instead of showing 15 pictures show 40 the more questions the more results the more data can be put in to calculate your score.

=Side Note= I was not there the day we got the assignment and I never got an email on how to format the assignment so this is the best I could do when you send it back please be gentle.
