What does "androgyny" mean in the test results?
In the context of the Sex-Role Inventory, androgyny is a psychological trait. It means your personality harmoniously combines both traditionally masculine (decisiveness, independence) and traditionally feminine (empathy, gentleness) qualities. Research suggests that androgynous individuals exhibit greater social flexibility.
Can the test result differ from my biological sex?
Yes, and this is scientifically supported. The test measures psychological gender roles rather than biological traits. A man may have high femininity scores, and a woman may score high in masculinity. This reflects character and behavioral patterns rather than physiology.
What does the "undifferentiated" type mean?
An undifferentiated type means that neither masculine nor feminine traits are strongly expressed. This is common among people who define themselves through personal characteristics that are not linked to the traditional 1970s gender stereotypes used in the test.
How did Sandra Bem select the qualities for the test?
