Nah, that's not masculine, that's nerdy, which is gender neutral. I've always been the biggest nerd in any group. Then again, it was one of my boyfriends who turned me on to comics in my early 20's after I'd gone through a period during which I thought I'd "outgrown" them.
I just took it again. Yikes!
M-38
F-116
Score -78
I'd try to influence my score, but it isn't always evident whether a trait is supposed to be masculine or feminine, and there are a whole lot of traits that are obviously neither.
Plus, it's hard to tell on some of those whether to answer for the way I am at home, or the way I am with people away from home. Warm? High score at home, low away. Tender? The same. Likable? High at home (well duh) low away. Solemn? High score away from home, low at home.
Sissy and I were disagreeing on some of the traits I thought were scored one way, and she thought were scored another. Childlike, for example, I was thinking was a masculine trait, and she thought was probably scored feminine. I assumed they would be scoring individualistic as feminine, and she thinks it's percieved, in terms of the test, as masculine.
Obviously those traits are neither, they're entirely gender neutreal, just as most things on that list are, but it makes it difficult to take anything on it seriously.
