What gender is your brain?

[marlowe]

An insightful and scientific analysis? Maybe not, but a way to idle away 5 minutes of your life!

My result = my brain is 40% Female and 60% Male.

[hankhavelock]

ditto here

[Bionca]

Your Brain is 93% Female, 7% Male

Not that I put much validity on most "brain sex" tests. There was one on bbc.com in the science section that was pretty good. Gave tests on spacial relationships and such-like... I was still waaay girl there too...

Your statement is a piece of art!


Bionca:

Your Brain is 93% Female, 7% Male

Proof, sister, proof!

My brain:
70% male (considering my dispassionate philosophy)
30% fem (considering my love for art)

[Bionca]

Your Brain is 93% Female, 7% Male

You have the brain of a girly girl
Which isn't a bad thing at all
You're emphatetic, caring, and in tune with emotions.
You're a good friend and give great advice.

Bionca Sweety,
If all good qualities are attibuted to Girlie girls, what are male brains like?
Dead?
or
Dull?

I have no idea... I just pasted the score and the sily discription it gave. I suppose a manly-man brain would value logic over intuition, linear problem solving, and an obsession with ball-scratching

You are a Bad Bad girl.

Oh right.. that man-brain required specifics doesn't it??

Hmm.. use that 30% girl-brain and use your imagination....

[sesame]

Bonk,
Since your brain is too much girlie-girl,
You've got a ONE TRACK mind.
Do you only think of this?

[Bionca]

Sesame!!

I was implying that I am good at subtly getting my point across in a way that is comforting as well as informative.... with some suggestive verbage to keep interest.

Yeah, right.

If I'm wrong, its the fault of my 30% girl brain.

You need to get your girl-brain out of the gutter..

[sesame]

My brain is straight as an arrow.
Your twisted girl brain needs repair. :D
May be you think of one thing and say something else,
like most girls. I will take that as a normal standard for
The excessively Girlie person.
They cant control it!

HA!!!

Perhaps I say what I mean, but your man-brain doesn't get the subtle subtext. Maybe grunts and gesturing will have to do.

.... :D

Men will be men;( simple, straight forward and cool)
and Girls will be girls, twisted, hysterical and ridiculous, its how mother nature made them.

Hmm.. perhaps a litttle rewording...

Men will be men (simple, straight forward, and cool)
Women will be women (complicated, mysterious, and coolER)

[sesame]

Well answered.
But Girls tend to be so complicated,
that they often fail to come out to safety,
from their self inflicted mysteries.

[marlowe]

Now now you two!
The B + S dialogues have been a splendid love-in.
All of a sudden it's like the bickering of a married couple.

I'm trying to exercise the female 40% of my brain and promote empathy and caring.

What the Gay Brain Looks Like

What makes people gay? Biologists may never get a complete answer to that question, but researchers in Sweden have found one more sign that the answer lies in the structure of the brain.

Scientists at the Karolinska Institute studied brain scans of 90 gay and straight men and women, and found that the size of the two symmetrical halves of the brains of gay men more closely resembled those of straight women than they did straight men. In heterosexual women, the two halves of the brain are more or less the same size. In heterosexual men, the right hemisphere is slightly larger. Scans of the brains of gay men in the study, however, showed that their hemispheres were relatively symmetrical, like those of straight women, while the brains of homosexual women were asymmetrical like those of straight men. The number of nerves connecting the two sides of the brains of gay men were also more like the number in heterosexual women than in straight men.

Just what these brain differences mean is still not clear. Ever since 1991, when Simon LeVay first documented differences in the hypothalamus of gay and straight men, researchers have been struggling to understand what causes these differences to occur. Until now, the brain regions that scientists have come to believe play a role in sexual orientation have been related to either reproduction or sexuality. The Swedish study, however, is the first to find differences in parts of the brain not normally involved in reproduction — the denser network of nerve connections, for example, was found in the amygdala, known as the emotional center of the brain. "The big question has always been, if the brains of gay men are different, or feminized, as earlier research suggests," says Dr. Eric Vilain, professor of human genetics at University of California Los Angeles, "then is it just limited to sexual preference or are there other regions that are gender atypical in gay males? For the first time, in this study it looks like there are regions of the brain not directly involved in sexuality that seem to be feminized in gay males."

Vilain, who studies the genetic factors behind sexuality and sexual orientation, notes that it may turn out that the brains of gay men possess only some 'feminized' structures, while retaining some masculine ones, and this is reflected in how they act on their sexuality. "We know from studies that men, regardless of their sexual orientation, retain masculine characteristics when it comes to their sexual behavior," he says. Both gay and straight men, for example, tend to prefer younger partners, in contrast to women, who gravitate toward older partners. Most men are also more likely than women to engage in casual sex, and to be aroused by visual stimuli. "So I expect that some regions of the brain will remain masculine even in gay men," says Vilain. For something as complex as sexual orientation, it's no surprise that everything from genes to gender to environment may play a role in ultimately determining your perfect partner.

Interesting stuff, thanks SSL.

This was discussed on the radio the other day and the scientists were anxious to point out that it was too early to draw definite conclusions. Presumably this was to reassure all the agonized men clutching their heads trying to weigh their brain, and asking themselves the question: "AM I G**?"

No word here on Lesbians. Do they have lopsided brains?

Their brains got inspected too

thx. I missed that.

[Bionca]

There was a study done in the Netherlands (I think) where they looked at the brains of post-op transwomen who had died of natural causes and genetic women who also died of natural causes and they found they posessed identical basic brain structures.

The samile size of T-women was too small to make a conclusion (only 6), but it is interesting that 100% of the Transwomen had the same structures.

87% female 13% male
Wow! I could probably see that 13% if my tits weren't in the way.

A little stimulation and perhaps you would get up to 20% male.

Or would that be get up to 20% of the males.

Your Brain is 53% Female, 47% Male, uh oh. is this good or bad?

Neither..

The brain-sex stuff is nice, and can be an indication of something if one feels an gender identity crisis on their hands. But, the questions and answers are innately sexist in that they attribute personality types and preferances to one sex or the other. There are PLENTY of people who have no issue with their gender and posess a-typical "brain sex".

What this probably says about you is that you are probably more able to emotionally relate to people and less likely to be hung up about being "macho". Besides, I like having a girly brain, so how could it be bad???

[Joebad]

Your Brain is 47% Female, 53% Male

Your brain is a healthy mix of male and female
You are both sensitive and savvy
Rational and reasonable, you tend to keep level headed
But you also tend to wear your heart on your sleeve


Hmmm, interesting. I thought it was going to be a much higher percentage on the male side. You would think with a brain nearly half female that I would understand women better.

I could have swore was going to be like 93 - 7 Male

[futafuntimes]

I'm pretty nearly balanced- 47% female, 53% male.

[sonya]

87% female, 13% male.

omg...

I really want to get in touch with the feminine side,
not my own, though! ... Hopefully of some Hottie's

Sesame that is quite the sense of humour that you have.

[ShemaleFan_UK]

The quiz was too restrictive, I felt. More than half of the questions didn't afford me the opportunity to give honest answers.
Using the 'best fit' method, I came up with 53% female and 47% male, which is about right as I consider myself neither male nor female.

Wow! How honest are you!

Your notion sounds both fascinating and strange.

Back when i started this journey the therapist i was seeing gave me such a test and it showed i had a female brain, I scored in the high 90s on the female side
