I’m a girl.

Yep. According to this survey I’m more female than male. What gives? I demand a re-count. Or at least I demand to know what you guys score. The survey does take a few minutes to complete, so be warned, but it’s got some cool ways to figure things out. all of which are wrong, by the way.. OBVIOUSLY. But still, if you’re interested it’s a cool test. Oh yeah, you can skip the parts where it just asks questions as that’s just for data gathering, not the brain score.

March 30th, 2005 at 6:38 amI scored a 50 on the man side! Yeah, baby! This is a really weird subject though. All sorts of crazy things can happen. One of my favorites is called an “SRY crossover mutation” where a gene that produces a hormone (testes determining factor) that controls production of other homronos like testosterone gets spontaneously spliced from a Y chromosome (male) to an X chromosome when DNA is going through recombination (why the same parents have kids that all look different). This happens while a sex cell is dividing as part of the process to become a sperm or egg cell. Then, this egg or sperm cell with the X that’s got an SRY gene fertilizes an egg or is the egg that is fertilized by normal sperm. That results in a person who is XX (genetically female) but because of a mutation, one X is telling the person’s body to develope as a male. You get a person with a female brain for real and for true physiologically. They also have 2 X chromosomes (a male would be XY). Mentally and emotionally they ARE a female. However, hormones make them grow a Johnson, an adam’s apple, and big pecs. It’s actually not uncommon. Ever hear some guy say, “I feel like a woman trapped in a man’s body.”? Well guess what, he just might be! What a freakin’ trip. And that’s only one wacky thing that can happen. For example, Jamie Lee Curtis is very open about admitting that she is an XY female. All sorts of stuff can happen to put you at different spots of the malefemale spectrum. Crazy stuff.

March 30th, 2005 at 9:53 amThat comment reminded me of when The dude in Aerosmith would wax philosphical in Wayne World. Except you don’t sound like you’re reading cue cards. I recently read about some of that chromosome thang about cats and how most orange cats are male. Crazy is right!

March 30th, 2005 at 11:50 amApparently, I have no sex…I scored a zero. Or does that mean I’m well rounded?
Interesting about Jamie Lee Curtis. I wasn’t aware of that.

March 31st, 2005 at 9:38 amThe joke around our house is that I’m from Venus instead of Mars and the wife is from Mars instead of Venus, but after taking the test and answering honestly, I come out 50 on the Male side.
I scored particularly high on the Angles test in part 1, the Systemising test in Part 3, and the 3D shapes in Part 6 (perfect score). And I like faces with feminine features… including yours, Joe.
Just kidding. …about your face, not about liking feminine features. -

March 31st, 2005 at 11:01 amI think I know where I screwed up… was I supposed to pick 2 of the shapes that were the same in each one of the 4 (or where there 5?) angle tests? because I think I only realized that I had to pick 2 in the last 2 questions. Plus I did really well on the memory test thing and the reading people’s expressions by judging their eyes. Both girly things, I guess.

April 12th, 2005 at 11:12 amJust FYI – Jamie Lee Curtis is not open about admitting she’s XY. She’s refused to comment on it. It’s just a rumor, and no one really knows -or probably ever will! Check out urban legends if you don’t believe me.

P.S. I took the test and it put me at 0. I’m going to assume that’s because I’m good at everything.
