Androgyny: Where do you fit on the Bem Sex Role Inventory Scale?

[lesbiaphrodite]

Greetings all. I have recently become increasingly interested in adrogyny for artistic and personal reasons. I happened across the Bem Sex Role Inventory test and took it myself to see where I fit on the androgyny scale. I'm well in the androgynous zone, scoring quite high in both 'masculine' and 'feminine' traits. Now, granted, I don't place a whole lot of store in these standardized tests. However, I at least find this one somewhat interesting since it confirms something I pretty much already suspected about myself. Here's the link below and the instructions on how to score yourself at the bottom. Let me know where you land on the sex-role scale.

peace

Now I have to take off my shoes and get out the calculator.

 

[logophile]

I did the Bem Inventory at okcupid.
Scored high in both masculine and feminine.
No one who knows me would be surprised by that.

 

[mellowgyrl]

masculinity 3.1; femininity 6.1....hmmm...guess that sounds about right

 

[ABSTRUSE]

Masculinity 5.15

Femininity 11.5

I wonder how this impacts us as lovers? I mean, I'm a lesbian and one of my great joys is being able to subvert and alter roles during lovemaking. This leads to constant renewals and reawakenings of various desires. I wonder if it's because I'm comfortable being both masculine and feminine? ........

3.2 masculine

I like the idea of having balance and harmony......that was taosity.

 

[voluptuary_manque]

masculinity: 5.25
feminity: 4.0

Makes sense, I suppose, maybe . . .

I get different results if I take it while wearing my strap.

Prove it.

That's because you wrote the answers on it in tiny letters

Well, they say you have to dress for the job. Right?

 

[ABSTRUSE]

Do you think most artists are androgenous?



and where's Stella?

 

[NoJo]

I don't think most artists are androgynous -- but I guess being able to empathise with both male and female ought to make a person more open-minded in general, which could possibly give them a "freer" mind than average.

A lot of male artists were very masculine indeed. Picasso's depiction of women to me often looks like sublimated molestation.

Yes, I like that.

There was nothing sublimated about it. Picasso was neurotic and deathly afraid of women so he had to dominate them physically, emotionally and artistically.

Among the First Nations it was generally agreed that to be a great artist, you must first be a great person. Picasso utterly failed the first but, on rare occasions, he could approach the latter. Grossly overrated, most of the time, he had an amazing talent but squandered it, IMO.

Prove it.

With: 7.85 masculine & 2.95 feminine

Without: 6.9 masculine & 4.6 feminine

 

[Equinoxe]

I apparently am a 2.4 on the Masculinity scale and 5.1 on the Femininity scale; so, I it would seem I am not Androgynous.

I did the Bem Inventory at okcupid.

I did that one once, too. The results were actually very similar to what I got this time (low Masculine, moderately high Feminine).

 

[lesbiaphrodite]

In many ancient tribes of various nations, androgyny was regarded as something to be sought after. In some tribes, shamans were either androgynous or hermaphroditic (intersexed) b/c the tribe felt this gave them special insights into humanity since they could see life from both the male and female perspectives simultaneously.
