Re: Sexuality Test
Hi Agnishom;
I did, it is no longer there.
In mathematics, you don't understand things. You just get used to them.
If it ain't broke, fix it until it is.

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.

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?

The first time I tried that they told me that I have a non-male, non-female brain.
I will have to ask Agnishom.
Please ask me.

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
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.

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

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.

Hmm, in that case, you might have been stubborn too.
There is no judgement going on over here.
