From a link in a Cosmic Variance comment thread comes the BBC’s Your sex i.d. profile.

My score, on a scale from 100% “female” to 100% “male”?

Zero. Of course, nobody who’s posted about it on CV has gotten anything other than zero or fifty.

It’s like a long and involved LJ quiz, only it doesn’t generate a fancy block of HTML for you to blog. Therefore, this ugly list (below the cut, ’cause it’s ugly.

Update: Via Anna FDD, this much shorter QuizFarm version. Anna’s comment “I have yet to find somebody who scored something other than ‘Either’.” (In honor of which I’ve renamed this post.)

2. • Clasped hands: Left thumb on top.
     • “Left thumb on top This suggests the right half of your brain is dominant. Some studies theorise that as a right brain dominant person, you may excel in visual, spatial and intuitive processes.”

     • Average ratio for men: 0.982
