British geneticist Anne Moir has developed a fascinating test to reveal how masculinized or feminized your brain might be. Print out and photocopy gay the test and give it to your mates you will certainly be quite surprised at some of the results. This test is designed to indicate the masculinity or femininity of your brain patterns. There are no right or wrong answers – the result is simply an indication of the probable level of male hormone your brain did, or did not, receive around six to eight weeks after your conception. This is reflected in your preference of values, behaviours, style, orientations and choices. Circle the statement that is most likely to be true for you most of the time. For any questions where the answers do not accurately reflect your life or you leave them blank, award yourself five points.

How to Score the Test
First, add the number of A, B and C responses and use the following table to arrive at your final result.
For Males
Number of As x 10 points =
Number of B’s x 5 points =
Number of C’s x -5 points =
Total points =
*be careful C’s are minus 5 points
For Females
Number of As x 15 points =
Number of B’s x 5 points =
Number of C’s x -5 points =
Total points =
*be careful C’s are minus 5 points
For any questions where the answers didn’t accurately reflect your life or you left them blank, award yourself five points.
Analyzing the Result
Most males will score between 0-180, and most females 150-300. Brains that are ‘wired’ for mainly masculine thinking usually score below 150. The closer to 0 they are, the more masculine they are, and the higher their testosterone level is likely to be. These people demonstrate strong logical, analytical and verbal skills and tend to be disciplined and well-organized. The closer to 0 they score, the better they are at projecting costs and planning outcomes for statistical data, with their emotions hardly influencing them at all. Scores in the minus range are high masculine scores. These scores show that large amounts of testosterone were present in the early stages of the fetal development. The lower the score for a woman, the more likely she will be to have lesbian tendencies.
Brains that are wired for mainly feminine thinking will score higher than 180. The higher the number, the more feminine the brain will be, and the more likely the person is to demonstrate significant creative, artistic and musical talents. They will make more of their decisions on intuition or gut feeling, and are good at recognizing problems using minimal data. They are also good at solving problems using creativity and insight. The higher the score is above 180 for a man, the greater the chance he will be gay.
Males who score below 0 and women who score above 300 have brains that are wired so oppositely that the only thing they are likely to have in common is that they live on the same planet!
Scores between 150-180 show compatibility of thought for both sexes, or a foot in both sexual camps. These people do not show a bias for either male or female thinking and usually demonstrate a flexibility in thinking that can be a significant advantage to any group who are going through a problem-solving process. They have the predisposition to make friends with both men and women.
The brain-wiring test – analyzing your results
330 – 300 High feminine brain
290 -160 Overlap
150 – 0 Highly masculine brain
