Can I really ask which idiot came up with the questions below?
5. You find housework, like cooking or cleaning to be:
* "Women's Work" - not for you.
* Arousing, and sometimes you fantasize you are dressed as a French Maid.
* Well, somebody's got to do it or you'll be living in a pig stye.
* You don't like it, but it's part of the "job description."
* You are expected to do it, and if you don't do it, it won't get done.
Cooking is either arousing or horrible and tedious!
Because it's impossible to just like cooking, right? You're either aroused or bored by it!
More to the point, it equals cooking and cleaning, two activities to which people can have very different attitudes towards (for example, many men enjoy cooking but not cleaning), which is bad question design.
9. You feel that Martial Arts like Karate:
* Are WAY COOL.
* Are great excercise to keep physically fit
* Keep mind and body focused
* Are more about the spiritual discipline than physical
* Give a person the confidence that they can handle themselves.
Poorly constructed question: it's entirely possible that I can think more than one thing about martial arts.
10. You are mostly:
* Assertive
* Independent
* Adaptable
* Understanding
* Compassionate
Horrible question: you are "mostly assertive"? How do you even determine that? It's impossible to answer that one truthfully.
11. You find working on cars in the garage to be:
* Fun. That's real "Man's Work"
* You don't like it, but your expected to give it the old college try.
* Well, car maintenance needs to be done or you'll be walking a lot.
* You find it arousing - the power of the engine, the tools, it's great!
* You don't even know what is under the hood of a car.
Women can't enjoy working on cars without thinking it to be "man's work"! Men can't, either.
14. When you you remove hair, you remove it from
* Just the face
* Face and maybe back or chest
* Face, back or chest, maybe under arms too.
* Mostly legs, maybe arm pits or some elsewhere on body
* Just legs and arm pits.
What's, there's a limited number of combinations? Can't shave armpits and face without also shaving chest and back?
20. One train leaves New York traveling South at 45 miles per hour. Another train leaves Baltimore traveling North at 80 miles per hour. At what time will the trains pass one another? Describe how you find this math problem:
* EASY! Those kind of problems are simple to solve.
* Not too difficult, especially because you can work it out so easily.
* Word problems are silly, but they aren't that hard.
* Wait, what do they want to know? Word problems always confuse you.
* You HATE word problems, you've no idea what this is asking you.
Answers 1 and 2 are practically interchangeable. Poorly designed question: answers should be clear and obvious. Whats the difference between "easy" and "not too difficult"?
21. Math is:
* FUN!
* Pretty easy.
* Okay.
* Difficult
* IMPOSSIBLE!
36. You find carpentry or home repair work to be:
* Fun, now THAT is work for "Real Men."
* A bothersome task, and you're not that good at it.
* It needs to be done or the house will fall down.
* Arousing. You love power tools and the sense of power they give you.
* You've never hammered so much as a nail before, and don't plan to start.
Again with the work for "real men". I can't like carpentry without machismo or getting hard about it?
57. You are making a major electronics purchase, you are most likely buying
* A home theater system
* A big screen television
* A computer
* A car stereo
* A home appliance
Where's "whatever I need right now"? Apparently, there's no option for responsibly managing your money or for people who just don't buy electronics often, which is an obvious design mistake, since it leads to the test subject guesstimating the answer.
63. You are going to repaint your bedroom, you buy
* White or off-white paint
* A light colored beige or other Earth tone
* A neutral color like grey
* A blue-grey or something with green in it
* A blue tone, maybe even a dark blue
Really? Favorite color = gender identity?
65. Your favorite kind of monkey is:
* A Gorilla
* An Oragutang
* You don't have a "favorite monkey"
* Chimpanzee
* A Lemur
I'm going to be a horrible nitpicker and say gorillas and orangutans are not monkeys
69. You are in a car crash and get injured, at the hospital they say they'll have to remove your sex organs or you'll bleed to death.
* You'd rather bleed to death - who'd want to keep living after that?
* That would be terrible! You'd want a second opinion, that's for sure!
* You aren't sure how that makes you feel. You'd prefer that option to bleeding to death, though.
* It wouldn't be that hard a decision - you're life is more important.
* You actually wish something like that would happen.
You "actually wish something like that would happen"? I'd like to see the justification for including that answer...I'm not a woman but somehow I doubt any woman would wish to get into a horrible accident and get her sexual organs removed...
77. At what age did you become aware of a difference between the sexes?
* About age 15
* About age 12
* About age 9
* About age 7
* About age 5
Another guesstimating question...I doubt a significant percentage of the subjects would be able to truthfully answer it.
89. Have you ever spent an EXTENDED period of time presenting yourself as the opposite sex?
* No, that's being deceptive. You wouldn't do that.
* You tried something like that once, but it was too much trouble.
* No, but you might like to try it some day.
* You would like to try that, and will if the opportunity arises.
* Yes.
No neutral answer. What about "no, I don't feel the need to"?
95. You are playing a video game, it is most likely:
* A first-person shooter
* A game with a maze or a race track
* You don't care much for video games
* A computer version of a board game
* A free-form adventure, something like Myst
I hear there's only four kinds of games out there?
126. Which cartoon character are you most like?
* Charlie Brown
* Linus Van Pelt
* Shroeder or Peppermint Patty
* Marcie
* Lucy Van Pelt
Is assumed the subject knows any of those.
132. Which best describes you?
* You love "Star Trek" and consider yourself a "Trekie"
* You enjoy "Star Trek" but it's just a cool TV show.
* Never watched "Star Trek" in your life.
* You've seen "Star Trek" and didn't care for it.
* You HATE "Star Trek" and everything it stands for.
At least there's neutral answers, but I have to wonder what Star Trek has to do with gender identity?
139. You are at the grocery store, which are you most likely to purchase?
* Economy pack of cheap burritos
* Frozen Pizzas
* Breaded Fish Fillets
* Microwave Popcorn
* Rice Cakes
Something edible?
Yeah, it's not really a horrible question but I found it amusing.
141. Your bed is currently:
* Unmade
* Covered with blankets
* In your bedroom, duh!
* Covered with a nice quilt and matching pillowcases
* Buried under clothing
Apparently, people who make their beds every day are not manly? I guess there's a statistical correlation of some sort...
As for the results, it showed me as unconflicted masculine (by its own indication, this means I didn't ever wonder about being of the opposite sex which is patently untrue)
Though the parts where an image should show were broken, so I just guesstimated it, therefore the result isn't indicative of anything
