ANALYSIS

Those with high scores are definitely living up to the macho masculine stereotype. They are tolerant of - and may even enjoy - violence, obscenity and swearing; they are disinclined to show weakness or sentimentality of any kind, e.g. by crying or expressing love, and they rely on reason rather than intuition to come to decisions.

Those with low scores are easily upset by another's misfortune, by blood, bugs, brutality, etc and are fascinated by delicate matters such as romance, children, fine arts, flowers and clothes. Obviously men score much higher on average than women but there is a great deal of variation within each sex and the cultural conditioning of gender stereotypes is under increasing scrutiny.

How do you compare?

The norm on this trait is between 13-14 points (a statistical approximation). This may be represented on the following scale:

Masculinity 31 30 29 28 27 26 25 24 23 22 21 20 19 18 17 16 15 14 || 13 12 11 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 Femininity

Move on to the next Category (D - Sexuality) and the first Trait: LIBIDO. Masculinity and femininity have just been examined from the point of view of Mastery and Sympathy in relationships, but in Category D we look at the sex drive itself.
