[A Thing]

I'm one of those people who donates their gender points to charity.

Probably got that because I voted neutral on a lot of things. I mean, when given choices like "Are you likable? Yes. No." I'm not going to go one way or the other.

67% Masculine, 17% Feminine, which puts me at Typically Masculine.

My Trump Score was:
737 - OKAY PERSON, PRETTY CLUELESS
Projected fate: RIOT GUARD, ARMY OF TRUMP(TM)

[BlackHeartKabal]

tch-tch-tch-tch-tch-tch-tch-tch...

42% Masculine, 69% Feminine, which puts me at Casually Feminine. I don't necessarily see how.

675 - IRRELEVANT CLOWN
Projected fate: MEAT PROCESSOR AT TRUMP STEAKS

Zero comment.

I don't necessarily see how.

Because trying to analyse real people by applying stereotypes is retarded, probably

Internet surveys: confirming again that gender stereotypes are bullshit.

This is what I came away from it feeling, too.  It's kind of a wake-up call...  I didn't really think a lot of these stereotypes were still taken seriously by experts.  It's no wonder so many guys are getting feminine results, it basically just means admitting to feelings and emotions instead of being a dominant loner.

Ww-wha o_O It's not actually taken seriously, when 'seriously' means 'literally as is'. It can be used as a point of reference as to the current happenings given how in many societies, due to shifts over generations there have been emphasis based on superficial characteristics as to certain characteristics in turn (ie Strength; biologically male; some culture characteristics around emphasis of strength, etc...)

Maybe it appears common in general society due to how communication works and such, in the social setting.

I don't necessarily see how.

Yes.
Always remember that in technical terms, a stereotype is a GENERALIZED bunch of ideas similar in category. "Similar" in this respect is contextually bound, and doesn't necessarily mean 'similar in a holistic sense', but more along how the concept is characterized. People, of course, are a LOT more complex, deep, and not able to be defined so superficially Stereotypes are studied under cognitive development in how we conceptualize the world around us.
But using stereotypes along won't even bring you close to actually getting to know people.

Edit: Oh wow this is on the 3rd page of my newbox and I'm replying nearly a week late. ._.
Tiny query: How come we don't have a 'what does Hilary Clinton think' to be alongside Trump? Seems like we're working with humor with top American candidates so...any link on that point? :O

>_> <.< I'm still content with my results. Myah. :I
_{Even if on a very quick split second hindsight insight I saw that wow this actually is pretty stoopidly stereotypical and very unreliable at best.}
Wondering how many tries you got to get those results.

[Flying Dice]

Yeah it's literally just '50s gender role stereotypes in question form. Absolutely meaningless.

[pisskop]

Its actually an experiment on the effect of implied stereotypes (and arbitrary evidence) upon forum discussions

And then we were unwilling, non-consenting participants! O_O *uncomfortable realization sounds*

It's useful for us who haven't lived through those kinds of years, since the internet is internationally open.
...Obviously not useful in terms of forming a holistic idea about these things, but y'know: Context.

I win!

I suppose so. Though to be honest even as far as stereotypes go they aren't particularly interesting.

Wow.  If they had any credibility left, they lost it with that.
