wait did someone make a political compass for gender wtf

@noiob god this test sucks, there's a middle option for the answers and they're super obviously geared towards traits traditionally seen as "male" and "female" lol like "oh do you value feelings and consider yourself sentimental? :) woman."

@tom also y'know, even at their best self-tests can only tell you what you think you know about yourself

and also the graph makes no sense why is it four quadrants

@noiob i mean yeah but it's sorta impossible to have a test like this through an objective lens if you phrase the questions as directly as this bc everyone has their own mental image of you

@tom I mean you'd have to define "feminine" and "masculine" first and that's already probably impossible

@noiob oh definitely but actual subject matter aside, there's a reason why lots of tests asking for simple traits such as objectivity or sensitivity pack them up in more elaborate questions like "how would you react in scenario x" where it's not directly obvious what they're asking
