[lace-chat] Left or right brain?male or female brain?

The post I sent this morning seems to have got lost in the ether. Here it is 
repeated with typos corrected :-)


BBC1 TV is running a series this week on whether you have a male or female
brain - that doesn't mean you are male or female. The theory behind it is
that the way your brain works depends on the amount of testosterone you were
subjected to as an embryo in the womb at a certain point of development. 
They

say that generally men use one side of the brain, but the two sides of the
brain in women can comunicate with each other so they use areas not used by
men.

The results of experiements carried out this week are shown, which so far
uphold the male/female brain regardless of sex theory. There's an online
test as well at:

http://www.bbc.co.uk/theoneshow/article/2007/10/mm_brainsex.shtml

The average performances for people taking the test on a scale of 0-100 each
side of male and female, men have so far come out 50 towards male and women
50 towards female. I came in at 25 towards male, and both my ring fingers
are longer then my index fingers. If the fingers are the same length, that's
counted as female.

Fun to do, but don't take it too seriously. I suspect the online test will
be removed from the web site over the weekend because the programme will go
on to another topic next week.

[lace-chat] Left or right brain?male or female brain?

The test might have been taken off the web site by now because the result of 
all those who took it was given in the programme last night. Pity it took so 
long for my post to get through to Arachne. The original was sent at around 
9 am yesterday morning, but hadn't appeared on my computer by 6 pm. Wasn;t 
on the archive either. The second post appeared later twice.


The final result was that approximately 1 in 4 women show traits of a male 
brain and 1 in 4 men female.


The final test was a room with several objects in it which they looked at 
for 60 seconds. Then some were moved and they had to say which. This was the 
only test where women were better at it than men regardless of whether their 
brain leant towards male or female. Apparently women are better at finding 
things than men - that's why women can find their husband's socks when he 
can't But women put the socks away!!! Guess who said that last statement.

I came in at 25 towards female - and I could make Tamara's dancer spin 
both ways.
