Hi Agnishom;

I did, it is no longer there.

Hmmm, then there must be some word that is on the censored list.

Re: Sexuality Test

Looks to me like the Beeb has taken the page down.  Maybe someone complained or someone at the top said 'pull it'.  The Beeb has been in lots of other media trouble over the last 12 months for what we might term 'sensitive issues', so they might be treading carefully.

Re: Sexuality Test

I just love those tests. I got eyestrain from matching up the shapes, a headache from coming up with words that mean happy, and frightened by looking into eyes that were more sinister than Bela Lugosi.

Re: Sexuality Test

The shapes gave me brain strain.  It seems my dominant ability is to make flat pack furniture.  Well that's nice;  if I decide to get a proper job.  smile

Re: Sexuality Test

I forgot to mention, I had a hideous time measuring my fingers. What can it all mean?

I will have to ask Agnishom.

Of course I have a male brain. Do I need someone to tell me that?

Re: Sexuality Test

The first time I tried that they told me that I have a non-male, non-female brain.

Re: Sexuality Test

It was just perhaps a rhetorical question.

The test is highly chauvinistic and proceeds from false assumptions. This is typical in that field and pretty much in all the life sciences.

Re: Sexuality Test

A famous teacher once told me, "figures do not lie but liars can figure." Statistics are often manipulated to make their viewpoint seem to be the correct one.

Re: Sexuality Test

If you think so, then why do you think curve fitting is useful?

Re: Sexuality Test

Experimental math teaches you to think for yourself. Something that is quietly being suppressed. Trust nothing that you can not determine on your own. If you follow that in all things you will be fine.

Re: Sexuality Test

What if I do not want to trust it because I cannot determine on my own?

Ah, a paradox!

Re: Sexuality Test

Forget these paradoxes. Steer your own ship. But be balanced, ask for help when it is needed and follow good advice. Be resolute but not stubborn.

Re: Sexuality Test

I could answer that but you would not agree so I will decline to. Judging you is not a job I am fit to do. I have an opinion of course but is it valid? Perhaps not.

I hope to show by doing, the same way I do math. Eventually, you, anonimnystefy, and others will realize a fundamental truth that has been staring you right in the face.

Re: Sexuality Test

Hmm, in that case, you might have been stubborn too.

There is no judgement going on over here.
