Brandon Hoefer 4-22-12 Brain Gender Response Part 2: Collect Your Data (Angles) score: 13/20 (Spot the Difference) score: 21% (Hands) score: right thumb was on top (Emotions and Systems) score: 9/10 (Eyes) score: 6/10 (Fingers) scores: right & left hand 0.94 (Faces) score: prefered feminine faces (3D Shapes) score: 7/12 (Words) score: 8 correct (Ultimatum) score: Female side Part 3: Give Your Opinion This test was very interesting. I think of it as a new experience that you can learn and benefit from. I mean who knows, you might learn something new about yourself that you probably never even thought about. Although I have to say that I'm not entirly sure that this test was 100% accurate. Whenever I try to retake it, it never lets me. I mean since this test was runned by a bunch of scientist, there is a good chance that this test could be accurate. However, scientist are still normal people and not everybody is nice and honest. They could probably be putting random stuff on the test for all we know and be making all kinds of assumtions. I was astonished at some of the new things that I've learned from this test. I had no idea that the corpus collosum within your brain affects your visual process and spatial memory, which was from the Spot the Difference part on the test. One thing I don't fully agree with was on the Hands execise. It states that, "If your right thumb is on top, then the left half of your brain is dominant, which means that you are more verbal and analytical. If your left thumb's on top, then the right half is more dominant and you excel in visual, spatial, and intuitive processes more." I scored with my right thumb on top, but I'm a more visual learner than analytical. Yes I am analytical in some cases, but it's more fluent for me to learn visually. I could be wrong, but from my perspective it seems I could be a little of both. In the Emotions and Systems exercise, I scored a 9 on the Empathising exercise. It stuck me as odd, because I always think of myself as a very empathic person. I do think it's a little weird that the length of your ring fingers suggest the amount of testerone levels that you are exposed to in your mother's womb. This imformation was from the Fingers test. As far this test containing what I already knew about, from what I've seen in comparing opposite genders it is harder for women to flip images images around in their head. My results on The Spot the Difference test didn't suprise me, because I already knew that I've had memory issues. I always thought that women's faces were more attractive. So the results off the Faces exercise didn't surprise me at all. I don't think this test changed my point of view about different genders entirely, but it opened my eyes up to the possiblities of how we differ in many ways. I think that men and women have their own strong points and think about things in a different way, but we aren't totally different species. That is my overall opionion about genders. Part 5: Your Response I think that overall it's very hard to know the core answer of how and why men and women are different, but similar in many ways. In fact it's nearly impossible to know the true answer. Even with all these accurate tests, both genders evolve so rapidly and constantly that we might have the right results at first, but over time it ends up inaccurate. If anything, we should try to consider at least measuring the evolved differences in men and women and to not ignore relavent biological and anthropological datasets. Biological and anthropological datastes are more accurate with the results of both genders, plus they are very flexible to the changes when both genders evolve. Some people are bais about one gender over the other, which means they will disregard the other gender and only focus on the one they believe in. What some people will do is overthink about the situation. Lets say that both genders are doing a test for strength. There are 3 men and 3 women. The rules are simle, they will only lift 10 lbs and the only thing that will be tested is their endurance. The boys out lift the girls 55 to 21. The person baist of girls will say that the guys won only because they have stronger muscels and more endurance. They don't look at the whole picture. If one of those out of the three did 55 or more out of the two then it's not only because guys happen to be stronger, it's because she has been working out more. You have to look at all the possibilities, facts, and perspective equally and not decide on opinions. People will think of more excuses of why that particular gender did either poorly or better than the other and compare them instead of realising that both genders have different strong points. I believe that our bodies are different, yet similar in many ways. We both have a heart, lungs, bones, and livers. However, we both have different parts of bone structures, muscle organs, and appearances. Men's hands are usually thicker while women's are usually thinner, but that's not always the case. I rest my case by saying that men and women aren't different species, but different sexs with different personalities within the sexs. I don't think there is a way to understand 100% how men and women sometimes get along, yet argue at times. There is no true test of how we differ, it's way too complex for any gender to completely understand.
