Considerate Idealist. 20 Masculinity and 16 Femininity. So, uh, none of the above, sort of?

Because other people would benefit immensely from your understanding and insight, you should try to be more outgoing in social situations, even when they make you uncomfortable. Others will want to hear what you have to say!
"Uncomfortable" is probably the only accurate part of that. ^_^
That might just be your uberlow confidence talking.

I do have to say, some of the answering methods were quite interesting.

Apparently I'm a Generous Curator. I guess that's okay and might possibly be correct.

Interesting to see my Aesthetic value. Would've expected it to be a little more balanced.

Quote from: Phantom
Unknown to most but the insane and the mystics, Tarran is actually Earth itself, as Earth is sentient like that planet in Avatar. Originally Earth used names such as Terra on the internet, but to protect it's identity it changed letters, now becoming the Tarran you know today.
Quote from: Ze Spy
Tarran has the "Tarran Bug", a bug which causes the affected character to repeatedly hit teammates while dual-wielding instead of whatever the hell he is shooting at.

Based on my present-day self, and my latest trend of no longer giving a flying fuck about things lately, surprisingly enough I am a...

Generous Analyst

Spoiler: Chart (click to show/hide)

This is despite the fact that I live on a zero-trust policy with people and social situations, and even when good things happen (E.G.- If an attractive girl takes interest in me, I can think up a number of scenarios that I might end up captured, killed, or left for broke; Why? Because this is reality, and as 'All-Powerful' and 'All-Loving' God tends to be, he's not THAT kind; not to mention, Fate/Destiny is a bitch in sheep's clothing with a terrible case of bipolar disorder. Surprisingly enough, you guys rank pretty high in my trust, but everyone else IRL locally, I tend to call BS on alot of their claims; even compliments about me, mostly due to the fact that as much of a catch I am complemented on being, I get no help at all when it comes to hookups, especially since it's near-impossible for me to hookup with anyone, or to even work up the motivation to bother anymore (I'm oddly proud enough to say I gave up on dating)), and the fact that I prefer to do things for myself, and especially by myself, because I can only trust myself to get it done properly, and quickly. Naturally, this doesn't make me a good team player, and pisses authority off alot when I go about on my own when left idle, because I don't like to waste time that otherwise could be spent getting a job done in a few hours, instead of a ton of them. Naturally, this could also lead me to break myself mentally, spiritually, and even physically in the process; don't be too surprised when you witness me dislocate my arm while on the job, relocate it myself, and continue to finish it in slightly less pain (IE- Berserker mode activates).

Goodness you guys need some confidence too :P

It's important to remember that even if you agree with your result on a BS personality test, it's just a snapshot. The you today is not necessarily to you of 12 or even 8 months from now. Would be interesting to do something like this multiple times over years to guage change in, at least, how you view yourself.

no help at all when it comes to hookups, especially since it's near-impossible for me to hookup with anyone, or to even work up the motivation to bother anymore (I'm oddly proud enough to say I gave up on dating)

Why would one need help for "hookups?" Or am I misunderstanding? It seems kind of the point that to ask someone out and get solely their attention, you would need to muster up the brain grease to do it yourself rather than hide behind a buffer or, worse, wait for one to hide behind.

At the moment, our totals:

How you deal with others:
12 Generous
7 Considerate
3 Reserved
2 Cautious
2 Respectful
1 Free-wheeling
1 Genuine
1 Concerned
1 Animated
1 Advocating
1 Benevolent

That is an impressive array of adjectives

About us:
7 Experiencer
6 Analyst
3 Idealist
3 Leader
2 Creator
2 Realist
2 Thinker
2 Inventor
1 Artist
1 Builder
1 Dreamer
1 Visionary
1 Curator

So it seems the average B12er is a Generous Experiencer. Considerate Experiencer, Generous Analyst, and Considerate Analyst are close behind.

Edit: Clicking Misko's link shows he is a cautious analyst, not concerned.

The more I think about this masculine/feminine rating, the more distrustful I am of the results of this test and the entire theory behind it. If they are declaring whether someone is masculine or feminine without even revealing to us what they think that means, they might as well just be pulling their descriptions out of thin air. At the very least they ought to explain what they mean by that. By all accounts I am highly masculine, other than physical strength and "dominance," and if that's what they're going off of, then I disagree with their philosophy from the start. The implication seems to be that masculine = strong and forceful, feminine = passive and weak. In fact, I don't mind them classifying me as passive and weak, but I *do* mind them linking that to "femininity."

I also noticed that a lot of the questions are almost identical to autism screening questions. I am autistic, so I can't help but wonder if that was intentional, or whether the possibility of something like autism was factored into the test.

I generally take online quizzes and tests with a laugh and a grain of salt, but when they claim to be scientifically based and offer genuine insight into someone's personality, I expect them to at least back up their science and prove that they know what they're talking about.

Considerate Inventor
Spoiler: Ze chart (click to show/hide)

The Gist:
Inventor: Seeking New Things + Creativity + Problem Solving
Considerate: Trusting + Idealist + Observant
Traits: Fairly high femininity, very high empathy, trust, and openness, average masculinity and spontaneity, and pretty much no obedience/adherence to authority.

Also, they have definitions for the traits; click the Glossary of Terms hotlink on the results page. Femininity and Masculinity are based on "adherence to female/male stereotypes", so it's probably corollary to different questions related to traditional feminine/masculine behavior.

My openness is a 2, so almost.

Hmm. Yes, I see. The world has wronged you, and that bitterness is strong.
Quote from: Meet the Robinsons
Everyone will tell you to let it go and move on, but don't! Instead, let it fester and boil inside of you! Take these feelings and lock them away. Let them fuel your actions. Let hate be your ally, and you will be capable of wonderfully horrid things.
I do love that quote.

Demanding Science and evidence from a free online test is a little silly.

When you're as unlucky with the ladies as I am, you need help (E.G.- From friends, associates, family friends and so forth, and 6-degrees of separation. Naturally, everyone that has succeeded and are happily married are shit at this job (none of their advice works; that or I'm some sort of opposing frequency where actually bad advice is good advice for me, and vice-versa. Maybe I need to apply the negative, since that has reliably been providing positive results, whereas the opposite has been the same (kinda like how I have practical pessimism, and optimism just invites bad luck to ambush me from all angles)).). I've broadcasted an S.O.S. for so long, I shut it off to conserve power since I've wasted enough energy asking for help for a considerable amount of time (matters made worse since there's a crapload of people that could help (my siblings have plenty of friends and connections), but won't or think I'm speaking in another untranslatable language). Basically, I'm drifting in space in solitude waiting for something interesting to happen.

When that something interesting happens (basically devoting myself to random chance), I'll decide whether or not to strike. Simply put, it's in God's hands, and if even my Lord won't lend me a hand, fuck it all; celibacy it is. Just when I'm expected to help (after being denied it for so long), I'm charging a fortune for my services.

I too scored zero femeninity, whatever the hell that is supposed to mean. I suspect that this measure is as crude as selecting male as your gender than putting some weight behind responses linked to agression and minimal weight to emotional responses - harldy a fair way of calculating something as ill defined as masculine/femenine balance, and highly likley to be based on seeing how many aspects of a stereotype you display..

 Other noteable lows were 2's in confidence, Attention to style and Aesthetic/functional (maximum functionality).

Other thing: Does anyone else get the same captcha every time they click the "Contact us" page? I've ctrl+f5'd a couple times and it's still the same. It's actually a static image from what I can tell, not dynamically generated.
