"Are you good at maths?" "Yes." *marks down as high indicator of masculinity*

"Are you good at maths?" "Yes." *marks down as high indicator of masculinity* now you're getting it.

But since traditional archetypes of masculinity and femininity are normally seen as opposed to one another, I'm still not sure how you can incline in favour of both, as Bee apparently does.

individual masculine/feminine traits are usually opposites, sure. but you don't see how someone's personality as a whole could borrow from both gender roles?

Of course it could, but to the extent that you have one, you will lack the other. So if you have the traditionally masculine feature 'being good at maths', you will lack the traditionally feminine feature 'being bad at maths'. A person who had totally 'masculine' traits or totally 'feminine' ones would be 100%. A person who drew on both would be somewhere in between, but you'd still expect them to be on one side or the other.
(My guess is that actually they're only counting positive traits, so being bad at maths isn't a score for femininity in itself. So Bee's score means she has both 'masculine' and 'feminine' virtues.)

Both the test and society's established gender roles are dumb, as should be obvious, but I reckon the test gets extra dumbness points for being overly vague.

the test doesn't promote gender roles, it just analyzes them. i think several people here are just mad at the thought of being labelled masculine or feminine, if only in the results of an unbiased online test.

its criteria are very vague to the point of being hard to figure out how to answer, but I suppose it gets the whole "sweeping generalisations" thing right about gender roles.
