About This Quiz

Before we get started here, we have to say, if you happen to be a woman with some male tendencies, or if you're a guy with a whole bunch of typical female tendencies, it's totally okay. What is truly important is that you do you and are yourself at all times. There have been some studies that say around 17 percent of people have brains that are associated with the opposite gender.

Males tend to be wired for building systems and understanding how they work, while women tend to be more caring and empathetic with others. A male tendency might be taking an engine apart or understand how a complex computer system works, while a female is more likely to connect with others and feel their pain. A male tendency would be more to go out into the world and conquer, while a female would be far more likely to go out in the world and try to work with others.

What about you? Do you have more male or female tendencies? Take this quiz, and we'll let you know. Who knows, you might just find out a lot more about yourself. And yes, whether you like football or not is a big one.
