In summary: Hand gestures help a lot.You know you're getting close when the road kind of narrows down into two lanes, then when you get to the split you want the road that head off, oh ... about a 120 degrees to the left, then up this big hill ...In summary, the test is a measure of autistic-gayness spectrum and it has something to do with a theoretical autistic-gayness spectrum. The test-taker scored a 50 and is in the middle of the spectrum. If they get bored with the test, they can score a 120 for being a man or a -15 for being a woman.

Perhaps?

My score is 75 ... yay I'm not gay!

Now i have lost the test, it was there a minute ago honest, that one is down the plug hole for sure as i came across it by accident.

You can find it in your "history".

I got 160, so I'm smack dab in the middle.

Both posted tests are the exact same test, but Wolram's explains how the points were assigned.

Funny, I almost made a comment about the question about whether the testee was male or female in light of the disclaimer that there were no right or wrong answers, only preferences. Turns out the answer you give to that question affects your test score.

Wow BobG you are even more manlier than I am. Honestly I have no idea on the credentials of this test-it apparently has something to do with a theoretical autistic-gayness spectrum.

170 right in the middle

what is my score if i get bored with it after 12 questions?
 
  • #13
Scored a 50.

Manly man coming through!
 
  • #14
60. I'm a steaming hot volcano of manliness.

Hot stuff coming through?

The hottest. Like, Planck time after the Big Bang hot.

I got a 140.

Hmmm... I scored a 90 too. :uhh: Does that mean I lose my high-heeled sister-shoes and become one of the guys?
 
  • #20
Hahaha "A friend has something mechanical that won't work. You would: Sympathize and discuss how they feel about it"

THAT will solve the problem...

Oh, don't worry, those orthopedic shoes with support hose that the PF sisterhood wears don't have very high heels anyway. :uhh: I think it just means you're a physicist.

Some just seemed odd. For example, the one about how you'd give directions if someone CALLED you for directions. How would you draw them a map over the phone? :rolleyes:

I got -15 for being a man, and 20 if I was a woman.

I scored 180

Whoa. That's intimidating. You must sweat testosterone.

Yep, learn how to stretch a 10 min coffee break to 20 mins, scratch yer bum and say, it will take at least 4hrs boss.

physics girl scratches bum, grabs coffee and sits at the computer for four hours looking at Jimmy Choos online to regain sister-sense... :biggrin:

Fax it to them over the phone line. Geez, some people. :rolleyes:

Hand gestures help a lot.

You know you're getting close when the road kind of narrows down into two lanes, then when you get to the split you want the road that head off, oh ... about a 120 degrees to the left, then up this big hill ...

See, wasn't that much clearer? It even when works on internet forums!

We need hand gesture smilies!

Some of the questions are wrong, like the one about where you would sit in a movie theater. Everyone knows that there is a correct place to sit and it isn't right or left, it is in the center. Others asked about remembering names and faces, but the answers never had the way my brain works: I remember faces, but not names.

Anyway, I scored 75.

You picked 7 A's, 3 B's, and 20 C's.

I got 130. Maybe it's the influence of all those mind-bending chemistry, physics, and math classes...?

I took the test that GCT posted. The explanation of the scoring said that the lower the score that a woman gets, the greater the likelihood that she's a lesbian, and the higher the score that a man gets, the greater the likelihood that he's gay.

Hmm...based on my own experience, I question that. When I was in college, a hot topic between me and the very few other female physics majors was our "fringe benefits" (access to lots of available males). It was a perk we had that, say, English or Drama majors didn't have. I think most of those women would score pretty low on that test, but I'm pretty sure we were all heteros.

Oh, come on, everybody knows a real woman (especially a blonde one) would sympathise and discuss how they feel about it when a friend has something mechanical that won't work. Only a lesbian would actually fix something like a broken toilet handle or tighten a door knob on a door.

The only bad question on the whole test was:
"You've found a parking space but it's tight and you must reverse into it. You would:"

A real woman (especially a blonde one) would bang into the adjacent cars seven times while backing in, only to discover she can't open her car doors.

You can trust this test. It was written by a real man (one that can't spell and was lousy at writing essays, which makes it even more reliable).

I scored a 140. I park anywhere geometrically possible, can point to north, etc... Not sure what got me that close to feminine.
 
  • #33
I got a 180 :biggrin:

Please consider the source for this test (which the author provides):


and know that not everyone agrees with these ideas.

Barbara and Allan Pease traveled the world collating the dramatic findings of new research on the brain, investigating evolutionary biology, analysing psychologists research, studying social change and annoying the locals. The result is WHY MEN DON'T LISTEN AND WOMEN CAN'T READ MAPS, the sometimes shocking, always illuminating, frequently hilarious look at where the battle line is drawn between the sexes, why it was drawn and how to cross it. Revealed: Why men really can't do more than one thing at a time Why women make such a mess of parallel parking Why men should never lie to women Why women talk so much and men so little WHAT MEN AND WOMEN REALLY WANT A must-read for everyone - you will learn as much about yourself and how to improve your relationships, as you will about the opposite sex.

I picked up this book at an airport before a trip, read it, and threw it away afterwards. The authors heavily cherry pick from studies that support their ideas, and naturally, ignore the ones that don't. There's quite a bit from them about how girls can succeed in arithmetic, but not higher math, so be careful when you evaluate the opinions of this couple who are making a nice living off this book.

Also note that these people tout themselves as "Australia's most successful publishing team":
http://www.peaseinternational.com/
but that's about it. I cannot find further credentials for them in psychology or other disciplines. They are motivational speakers.

Right it's heavily prejudiced. I scored 90, but that's probably for the multi task questions. Really if men couldn't do more than one thing at the time, all pilots would be female.

1. What is a brain-wiring test?

A brain-wiring test is a type of assessment that measures the connections and pathways in the brain. It can provide insights into an individual's cognitive abilities, learning style, and potential strengths and weaknesses.

A brain-wiring test is typically scored based on a standardized scale, where scores are compared to a normative group of individuals who have taken the same test. The score is usually given as a numerical value or percentile rank.

3. What does a score of 90 on a brain-wiring test mean?

A score of 90 on a brain-wiring test means that the individual's brain connections and pathways are functioning at a level that is higher than 90% of the normative group. This can indicate above-average cognitive abilities and potential strengths in certain areas.

4. Can a brain-wiring test score change over time?

Yes, a brain-wiring test score can change over time. Factors such as age, education, and life experiences can influence brain connections and pathways, leading to changes in test scores.

5. How can a brain-wiring test score be used?

A brain-wiring test score can be used to gain insights into an individual's cognitive abilities and potential strengths and weaknesses. It can also be used to inform educational or career decisions, as well as to identify areas for improvement and development.
