Many of those questions were very limited, rigid and stereotypical in how men and women think and behave. I would have picked all four of the choices provided in question 1 regarding childhood interests, with the caveat that I don't know wtf "Meccano" is supposed to be.

I loved building things with Play-Doh and Lego even though those little Lego pieces hurt like hell if you step on them. I had a Tonka truck and little racing cars with the snap together racing track parts. My sock monkey Melvin and Raggedy Ann still sit on my bookcase. I somehow split Raggedy's face open pretending she was the 6 million dollar man (We can rebuild her! Better, stronger, faster!). Guessing I have one of them there weird type brains.

I know, I know, it's a just for fun quiz so don't mind me. I'm not trying to offend, it's just that I'm feeling cranky and have become annoyed with whomever came up with that quiz.

Male brains are hardwired for understanding and building systems while the female brain is hardwired for empathizing with others.

This is the study that was referenced in the quiz.

It is important to note that we only investigated sex differences in brain structure, so we cannot infer anything about how this relates to behaviour or brain function. Integrating across different levels will be an important goal for future research.
