took gender continuum test. before taking it I would have guessed 60% odds it would peg me as female after answering the Qs, before seeing the reults, guessing closer to 50/50, maybe 60-70% male programs.clearerthinking.org/gender_continu…

great case-study on why averagerianism is confused

however, there is this critique of surveys in general, which I would love to see @SpencrGreenberg's response to carcinisation.com/2020/12/11/sur…

well! impressive I guess, in my case

the generalization of questions into categories is interesting/sus. I answered that I disagreed with violence as a solution to problems but that I sometimes get urges to hurt ppl when angry, and this was summarized "Less Peaceful - more likely to use violence to solve problems"

similarly, 50% of the contribution towards a "compassion" score is from "I would feel very sorry for an animal caught in a trap." this is a critique of whether the questions are meaningful, not a critique of the map-question-responses-to-gender stuff
