I took this quiz that I read about in 'The Independent' on Monday. It doesn't matter if you are a chap or a woman; apparently it scores your 'gender typical' rating. I got a healthy 6!
Here it is copied and pasted in..I had to mess about lots with formatting for this, so take the test!
Note: Car chases, guns, spaceships, and James Bond do not feature. It seems biased towards a woman taking the quiz not a man (there's a clue in that somehow).
Here goes...WTF is Q 16 about, and what's with Q 18 anyhow?

Scores: (I'm afraid you have to follow the link in bold to a scores page)
Analysis
0-6 Men: You are a man's man, and not especially in touch with your feminine side. Be careful you don't slip into pitfalls like insensitivity and poor communication.
Women: You are in touch with your inner animus – you defy gender stereotypes and plough your own furrow. This does not necessarily mean you're a tomboy or a ladette, just a girl who dares to be different.
7-14 Men and women: You're in the middle ground of the gender spectrum so you can appreciate both masculine and feminine pursuits without getting hung up on what seems gender "appropriate" or whether your sexuality is being impugned.
15-20 Men: You're in touch with your femininity, but this should not be confused with being camp or girly. Appreciating feminine virtues can help you to empathise with the opposite sex – a very attractive quality.
Women: You appear to be made of sugar and spice and all things nice, but beware of "doll's house" syndrome.

LOL...well if those arent obvious mars and venus options l dont know what are!!
thanks for dropping by my ABC post...and for the bon sai explanation, l love to learn new stuff...
Me too, hence this particular post, which actually seemed faintly obvious. I must say I do like shopping though; just the retailer in me, I guess.
That's still a cool Bonsai tree!
I have to say I failed when I realised I had to add up my scores! I think I may be a bit thick tonight, but 1. was A or B and the others had numbers?! I'm sure it was easy really but I couldn't concentrate for long enough!
The answers seemed pretty obvious though!
Hi Sub. Each Q scored 1 or 0 depending on what option you picked and as our mutual friend FFF said (as you did too) you could see where it was going anyhow. There was no question about the bog seat being up or down though. I can't see the fuss on that dilemma myself.
