well, that was interesting...
I kicked ass at the navigational stuff (perfect score on the angle and rotation tests). I was completely lost on trying to read people's eyes, though in real life I can usually get a good read on someone--perhaps with body language rather than static pictures?
My ring fingers are considerably longer than my index fingers.
I SUCKED at the word association test--but throughout, I kept wondering how "exact" the association had to be to count. (I got a 730 on the verbal section of the SAT and have a master's in English, so it's not exactly as if I'm at a loss for words in real life.)
Preferred "feminine" faces (Actually, didn't like the looks of any of them, but the masculine ones they had looked even MORE like the drunken frat boys on Bourbon Street. No, thank you.)
Apparently I have the brain of a man in the body of a heterosexual woman. Except for the ring fingers. Go figure.

Interesting for me, too
I came out scoring exactly as an average woman, which is weird because my scores were much higher than either sex in a lot of areas. Sucked at word asociation too, but maybe I just a slow typist. And I preferred the feminine faces, but most of them just had higher foreheads, which made them look smarter. (Prejudice, I know)
So, I'm an inarticulate, lesbian who's been trapped for 50 years in a man's body? Or is this whole idea of labeling traits by gender just crap? Most men are taller than most women but does that mean tall women are really men?
