toc Brain Gender ** Part 1 ** ** Part 2 ** Angles 18 out of 20 Spot the Difference 36% Emotions and Systems 6 out of 20 Eyes 5 out of 10 If you scored 4 - 6: Your result suggests you have a balanced female-male brain and find it neither easy nor difficult to judge people's emotions. Fingers Right Hand 1.01 Left Hand 1.01 Faces Words If you produced 1 - 5 words: You are more of the strong, silent type with a male brain. You probably find it easier to express yourself in non-verbal ways, preferring action rather than words. Ultimatum Demanding more than 50% of the money
 * Test from Marcia Collaer, adapted from Benton AL, Sivan AB, Hamsher K, Varney NR and Spreen O 1994. Contributions to neuropsychological assessment: A clinical manual. 2nd edition (New York:Oxford) **
 * If you scored 18 - 20: ** You have more of a male brain. On average, men outperform women in this task and those with more mathematical knowledge tend to score quite high as well. In past studies, 60 per cent of the people in this range were men.
 * If you scored between 34 - 66%: ** You may have a balanced female-male brain.
 * Systemizing 16 out of 20 **
 * Your choices suggest you prefer more feminine faces. **
 * 3D Shapes 9 out of 12 **
 * If you scored 7 - 9: ** In past studies, 50 per cent of the people who scored in this range were women and 50 per cent were men.

** Part 3 ** The test was interesting, but I did not learn anything new about myself. I believe the test is a unique way to learn the different ways the brain works between men and women. This is the first time I have taken a test like this and it was interesting the different types of activities that are used to determine the results. I think the results from the questions could also be determined by an individual’s intelligence and social skills. I think different parts of the test were accurate and others could be determined opinions, example the eye test could have several results.

Read Online Articles **Part 5** According to the Scientific American website “Men and Women are from the same Planet” it suggests there are a possibility that the following topics could be errors with the “Brain Gender Test.” Gender and Sex are interchangeable-Sex is a biological state, while gender is a role and expectation The evolved differences in men and women are not being measured-amount of individuals involved in the experiment, and the traits measured Relevant biological and anthropological datasets are ignored-dynamic flexibility and complex bio-culture According to the Slate website “Sex on the Brain” it suggests there are a possibility that the following topics could be errors with the “Brain Gender Test.” Ideology-possibility of being abused to justify sexism Monocausality-explanation on a single matter Casual Extrapolation-genetic or culture theories are limited Self Fulfillment-women are worse on test that requires mental rotation, men are better Stereo Types-large differences between boys and girls Either/ Or-males are better at math than females, according to Larry Summers Over interpretation-males have more grey areas of the brain, women have white Inferred Immutability-hormones influence the way males/ females think Data Pooling-sex deference’s in height Comparison Games-basis of comparison because I believe the scientist that completed the research for these reasons listed are correct due there being several factors when it comes to measuring a human brain. To improve the assessment the site might offer an individual test for the different genders to determine their intelligence and social background, which I believe would put all of students on the same page. Then the site would offer the “one” test to determine the individuals “Brain Gender.”media type="youtube" key="5mrtk8boEOU" height="315" width="420"media type="youtube" key="QzQ-cuXlHP0" height="315" width="420"
