Composite 2-Axis Masculinity/Femininity Test

"Masculinity/femininity" is conventionally defined along the lines of "having traits associated with being male/female". However, I think this definition is flawed, because because there's much more nuance to what people normally think of as masculine/feminine than just sex differences. For instance, women are more likely than men to be feminists; does that make feminism a particularly feminine viewpoint? I think this contradicts common sense, and instead I have constructed this test with the aim of matching common-sense masculinity/femininity, by taking items from a variety of tests that correlate particularly with the commonsense notion of masculinity/femininity. Some items for this test have been borrowed from the OpenPsychometrics Open Sex Role Inventory, as well as from the International Personality Item Pool. The art for the test is by Asha Britt.

Response data storage

I would like to anonymously store your response to the test, both in order to support further calibration of the test scoring, and to support more general research into personality. This is fully optional, and you can take the test and get your scores without having it stored. However, consenting does come with the perk that you can get a link that makes it easy to share and store your scores. If you share the resulting link with your friends, they can also contribute by anonymously and privately rating how accurate they think your scores are, which will be used for future research to validate the test.

Research questions

Since you have consented to storing your response to the survey to assist research and calibration, it would be further helpful if you could answer a few extra questions about yourself, so that this information can be included in the research.

Age

How old are you?









Expected masculinity

To help calibrate the test to give the best results for future users, how masculine do you think you are, on a scale where the average man is "masculine"?







Expected femininity

To help calibrate the test to give the best results for future users, how feminine do you think you are, on a scale where the average woman is "feminine"?
