Okay, so I broke down and actually took this thing. Took the online version. To no surprise of my own, I'm rediculously masculine.

114 - 49 = 65

I'm sure those that know me well would agree.

So in response to lurkette's query, I don't think that these traits are good indicators of masculinity or femininity. Perhaps they would have been in the 19th century, but now this is total garbage. I think a more proper labeling, considering the choice of traits and how they were grouped, would be bullish vs sheepish. The whole thing basically came down to strong and aggressive vs mild and meek, and to categorize that as masculine and feminine is total and complete garbage. That being said, I don't think there's a problem with anyone falling anywhere on that scale. I think that men will tend towards "masculine" as they put it, and women will tend towards "feminine", but that's not to say that there is anything wrong with a person having traits other than what he/she would be expected to have.
