By rights, 30% of the class should be women. In fact, it's 8% because of social pressure, "girls don't do that".<br /><br />Horse pucky. That's like saying "a girl can't be above average height" simply because men tend to be taller than women.<br /><br />Does anyone think that Elle MacPherson is is "manly" just because more people of her height are male than female? Or that it's "sexist" to say that men tend to be taller than women?Zoe Brainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13712045376060102538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5573426.post-27073444759580108252012-04-10T13:56:59.919+10:002012-04-10T13:56:59.919+10:00Oh god.

This stops the script from loading any further and displays the image for the proper amount of time.<br /><br />MgS, No wonder some of those questions seemed familiar. Yes, I agree it's not perfect, but it's admittedly less expensive than an MRI scan of the BSTc.<br /><br />Ciao!<br />SarahSarah Wilsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13018597739320720216noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5573426.post-35990200252621239292012-03-21T15:46:36.863+11:002012-03-21T15:46:36.863+11:00About a year ago, I took a BEM and a COGATI, just ...About a year ago, I took a BEM and a COGATI, just to see the results. Earlier today I took a SAGE. The results,<br /><br />BEM;34% masculine, 87% feminine, 65% androgynous.<br /><br />COGATI; value 310, classification 4, probable transsexual.<br /><br />SAGE; raw score 885, feminine appearance, socialization and brain processes.

And even after changing the settings, I click to see one of the images, it flashes for maybe a quarter second hurting my eyes, and then the whole thing shows an error message.<br /><br />Still, it's technically better than all those tests [most online tests] which crash at the end, or the COGIATI with that awful question where the answer depends on whether you interpret 'a complete rotation, end over end,' as 180 degrees or 360 degrees. Does it go in for the gender stereotyping too?<br /><br />P.S. Your comment system keeps rejecting my decypherments of the captchas.
