It is a scientific test that measures gender stereotypes.
The test asks questions about traits that are classified as feminine, masculine, and neutral. Unsurprisingly, women score higher on feminine, and men on masculine traits but Bem thought that strong feminine *and* masculine traits would be most advantageous for both genders.
My result is consistently average feminity, slightly below average masculinity. Yes really. I have done the test 6 times since 2016 and the two online tests mostly agree. And it fits: I love kids, even when they are babies and I prefer cooperation over competition.
