This amuses me, since most writing analysis things I've done identify me as very strongly female. And yet here I am, supposedly thinking like a man.
I tend to think that some of this is because thinking 'like a man' is the default in Western culture, which makes thinking 'like a woman' somewhat more limited, because it's defined in opposition to standards rather than being its own standard. Also, I am amused that 'male' thinking apparently means I cannot think outside the box, and am not creative... especially since I'm a writer (and have, at times, also been a musician and very bad artist), and since my writing focuses heavily on interpersonal relationships and families. :-)
![]() | You scored as Male. Being mostly male, within your structures of thinking simply means that your reasoning powers are (the way they are perceived in Western Culture`) higher than the one of the opposite sex. Psychoanalsis claims this to come at the price of creative expression - a rational thinker can not think out of the box, it is claimed. Yet this 'discovery' contradicts the fact that many great minds that created something out of the ordinary were men.
