Male/Female/Androgynous
Where am I on the scale?
Until now, my papers have been “entertaining†but not truly “eye openingâ€. This research paper puts an end to that for me.
After computing my “androgynous score†I found out that I rate more masculine or androgynous then I do female, a fact which was shocking at first but later made sense. When I actually stopped and examined who I REALLY am, I am quite masculine. I am almost six feet tall and am a wiz at business. I have excelled in a “man’s world†for many years. Negotiating tough deals are entertaining and I rarely back down once I have my mind made up. I started out as a nurse, but now am the Risk Management Director at Cumberland Medical Center and practice psychiatric nursing on an “as needed†basis. In my new role, chaos and confrontation reign and I am surprisingly well adapted to handle the madness of it. Now, I finally understand why…in many ways, I am one of the boys! My two best friends are men and I find their humor and outlook on life most like my own.
What will I do with the results? No, I am not attracted physically to women, but will cut myself some slack when I want to emulate a soft spoken woman at church. This test shows me that JUST ISN’T ME. I am savvy in business and have a natural “take no prisoners†aggression with life. Instead of fighting this, I plan on maximizing the results. I am aggressive yet can socialize with anyone. I am good in business, yet love getting “sugar†from my seven year old each night. This exercise shows me maybe, just maybe, I can have the best of both worlds….seriousness at work and love and affection at home.
