Sex Test!
— Ace

No, really a gender-brain test, to see how you stack up.

I did the first test, the one with the angled lines. It informed me that I was so completely manly I could probably have sex with like 25 guys and still be straight as an arrow.

So, you know. Weekend's really filling up now. Will be back late Sunday/early Thursday.

Thanks to PetiteDov.

Think Ace will be through all 25 of those guys by then?

A continuation from the post about conservative senate candidates. I went straight from this site and donated to 3 candidates I want to help.

Donate Morons. We do not want to be sitting in the same situation come December as we are now.

Break out the plastic. Open your wallets. Donate. Volunteer. Tell your relatives who waiver politically the benefits of the candidate in their state. Whatever you can do, do it now. A month later may be much too late. Even $25-50 in the right place can help if we are all doing it.

Now back to our regularly scheduled moronosphere.

"You'd think that reducing corporate and even foreign influence over our elections wouldn't be a partisan issue," said Obama. "But the Republican leaders in Congress said no. In fact,they used their power to block the issue from even coming up for a vote.

"This can only mean that the leaders of the other party want to keep the public in the dark," said the president. "They don't want you to know which interests are paying for the ads. The only people who don't want to disclose the truth are people with something to hide."

Well, well, more comfirmation of Obama's attitude towards Goldman Sachs. Also interesting that Google, Citigroup, & GE make the cut, while BP's previously reported donations would be much lower-down on the totem pole (they didn't make the chart, & wouldn't for that bracket).

While dozing off last night in front of the idiot box, A Betsy Markey(D-CO) ad came on.
She's promising "no more bailouts!" OK - sure, Betsy. Your party is bailout central.
The democrats are running an ad campaign promising not to do what they just did to us over the last 2 years.

Hilarious. Will voters get it? I'm feeling confident the the rest of the nation gets it, but that CO is uniquely full stupid.

13 Well, I did some of the test, but the 'guess the emotions from the eyes' part was weird. Seemed random to me, but what do I know?

My problem was that you couldn't see the person's entire face, so it was somewhat difficult to decide between the 2 emotions that were the best answers.

What's interesting is that the Brits & Euros are are upset that Goldman Sachs got off so easily, whereas we largely don't seem to care. I've also read that the British government now uses Citigroup (in some instances) more than they do their own bank. (Can't prove last, & it was also in The Telegraph.)

37 29 Cincinnatus, of COURSE he lectures us on donations. Like Michelle lectures us on eating right and obesity. Like Geithner lectures us on paying taxes. Like Obama lectures us on reaching across the aisle and bipartisanship.

It's no surprise. He doesn't see any contradiction in any of this, because as far as he is concerned, the rules do not apply to him.

Words cannot describe my loathing of this evil man.

Fidelity found signs of continued thrift in the workforce. The average percentage of salary saved in a 401(k) held steady at 8 percent, similar to the rate in the first quarter, while 32 percent saved 10 percent or more of their pay.

91 Good morning, morons and moronettes!

I scored somewhat female (25/100), especially on the emotional intuition things, but I scored "male" on the rotating objects in space thing (which makes sense based on the type of science I used to do - 3D reconstructions). I think the test on systemizing was somewhat flawed - the questions were kind of gender-biased or maybe I'm not getting the test. For instance, I have no innate desire to know how machines work... unless they're broken, in which case I do and can figure out the problem. Same thing with chess -- I don't enjoy playing it, but I was good at it in my prime. And I'm good at assembling flat-pack furniture.

I aced the "eyes" emotions test -- so I've informed Mr. Y-not that he should STFU the next time we have an argument wherein he claims that I am not correctly perceiving his emotions.

Best of all for him? I prefer feminine faces. So that lesbian threesome may be in the future after all! har har

Posted by: Y-not at August 21, 2010 08:22 AM (osFsP)

92 Oh, and the word-association test was a bit flawed, I think. The words themselves are somewhat emotional, especially the second one. So if you are depressed (which I kind of am), then I think that affects your ability to find synonyms for an optimistic word.

95 I was doing OK until the section where you need a ruler. Not only a ruler, mind you, but one of those insanely odd metric rulers. Like I have one of those lying around?

I bet part 6 starts "For this section, you need a chainsaw..."

Yeah, I didn't have one, either, but that's because almost all of our worldly possessions are in our old house. I used an English tape measure and converted.
1 inches = 25.4 millimeters

I'm always amused by the spatial relationship stuff. I think it's more complicated than they make it out to be.

Case in point: I am a much better packer of luggage, particularly at the end of a trip, but he is much better at loading the car or putting a large piece of furniture in a tight space.

Also, he can never "remember" or figure out the pattern of where things go when they're put away in, say, the pantry or clothes closet or dishwasher, but he is much better at reading maps.

Maybe it's a scale thing.

I feel like there's a pattern there that they overlook.

101 I scored closer to male than female. Did well on the eyes thing, prefer more masculine faces (duh, like I needed a test to tell me that), spatial relations, etc. My empathizing/systemising score was even. But I'm looking at the results explanation for the "reading emotions in eyes" portion, and it has the average score for men and women being even on this. If both score evenly (on average) is it really useful in this test?

Posted by: AngelEm at August 21, 2010 09:14 AM (I2Yog)

102 If both score evenly (on average) is it really useful in this test?

Yeah, I wondered about that, too.

Maybe since there's a portion of the test where it questions you about your ability to empathize, they use the eyes test as a way to weight your answers. I mean, you might think you're empathetic, but not test that way in the eyes test. Maybe what matters is how you think you are or how much you want to be empathetic.

I dunno.

105 I wonder, since most of the moronettes here seem to have scored more toward "male" does that have something to do with political leanings? In other words, would calling liberals "girly-men" be a bit more accurate than we might think? Bet libs - male and female - skew more to the female side on this test.

109 After taking the test, it told me that I was a) better at science-type stuff than most men, and b) better at empathizing than most women (which I already sort of knew). The problem with the results posted at the top of the page was that they were based on arbitrary decisions: when I looked at the male vs. female averages, several of them were statistically identical, yet they still made determinations based on those. Bad science BBC.

Seriously disturbing.

I did extremely well on the men questions/shitty on the women questions and found none of the men remotely attractive. Gulp.

The only saving grace -- I had no ruler so I didn't get an 'accurate' picture.

I'm going to chalk this up to wacky pseudo-science. Otherwise I'll cry. Hey, that might actually be good -- will make me think I have some estrogen floating through my body. Somewhere.

Yes, I think so... There's a website somewhere... I forget where... that examines your page views and makes a guess as to your gender. I score mucho macho male on that. I'm sure it was the political and sports sites... very few shoe sites!

I assume that things like the right brain stuff are used to normalize the answers you give/get. I mean, if someone is right brained, they should down-weight the gender component of their answers on spatial relationships, shouldn't they? I think I scored well on the 3D relationships thing because of my science background (or the kind of science I did, to be specific).

But I guess it's a bit chicken and egg.

Neither did I. I confess that the one who looked Arabic really turned me off, but they were all pretty darned homely. Maybe that's the point? It sounds like the guys found the pictures they were presented with homely, too.

Posted by: Y-not at August 21, 2010 10:09 AM (osFsP)

115 I scored more male, 50%: low on empathy, high on 3D shapes (11 out of 12--ran out of time). So I may be more man than some of you male morons but the good news, according to the face test, is that I prefer a man who is more man than I am. But I didn't need a test to know that.

In other words, would calling liberals "girly-men" be a bit more accurate than we might think? Bet libs - male and female - skew more to the female side on this test. Probably. Liberals "feel" and conservatives "think". It seems that a conservative female would be more pragmatic and logical in their thinking.

124 What threw me off about the faces portion wasn't so much that the guys were mostly homely, but that a few of them look like they probably have pieces of their old music teacher cut up and frozen in single-serving portions in their freezers. Psychopaths don't turn me on.

125 sTevo: "What moved, scored zero."

When I got to that screen, my mind had a heart attack. I have great visual acuity but I suck at remembering walls of images. Somehow I got 7 of 14 and missed none (50%) which puts me in the unlisted 'freak' category.

I'm certain the test must've spotted me some points.

Posted by: AnonymousDrivel at August 21, 2010 11:17 AM (swuwV)

126 It says that only 4 things are used to determine your score at the end- the angles, spot the difference, 3D shapes and words tasks. I got a 25 on the female side (I'm a chick). The 3d shapes thing was really, really hard for me. I got 5/12. Basically I just guessed on them all because I could not figure it out. And I misunderstood the splitting up the money question. I thought it was asking how much we would offer, not how much we would demand. So I guess that doesn't tell if I think like a man, or women, just that I'm a moron in general. Yeah, the guys were fug, but it still worked for me because one of the pics in each each set looked really girly to me so I just picked the other one. The fem guys looked like they had plucked eyebrows.

127 I thought it was interesting on the eyes one, when it said that people usually do a lot better than they think they are going to. That seems true because a lot of people commented that it was hard, but then they only got like 2 or 3 wrong. Also thought it was funny that it said men often think that someone's eyes are sending signals of desire, when it's not true. Just makes me think of a girl looking at a guy thinking that he's a creep or boring or something and the guy thinking "Ooh yeah, look at how she's looking at me, she wants some of this!" Ha

131 Who the fuck uses metric rulers? I had to convert from cm.

Scored at 50/female. Pretty obvious.

The face test was awful, seeing as they used three ugly guys as the bases for their photoshopping. Still got "prefer more masculine," but I really wanted a "who cares, they're freaking ugly" choice.

Also, the eye test sucked. Still got most of them, but without the entire face, it's really hard to determine what's going on. Funny, however, that I scored as extremely empathetic on the eyes and extremely un-empathetic on the question part.

I still don't understand the money part. I would go 50/50. Did not register that the goal was to get as much as possible out of the deal.

Finally, it is my long held belief that politics and ideology have more to do with women's preferences in male faces than hormones. Maybe I'm biased due to experience. Feminine men are easier to control. So are wussy girls.
