BUTCH? OR FEMME? - Another Test.

Beldin · Post by **Beldin** » Tue Apr 02, 2002 5:25 am

Hi all !

This test runs along the lines of the "Studly" test - but has enough options for our female SYMbionts.

So go and find out if you are a "Butch" or a "Femme" ...

Test here.

BTW - I got a "Hard Androgyne" Score:
Most of the time you really don't think of yourself as butch or femme, but if pressured, you tend to react aggressively - either to solve a problem or to defend yourself. You aren't extremely masculine, yet are more drawn to your masculine side than your feminine side. ...read more here.

No worries,

Beldin

Wow that took a long time

ANDROGYNE
Your score placed you in the category of Androgyne. This is the true middle of the road, neither butch nor femme. You may also wish to review Soft Androgyne and Hard Androgyne, the two categories surrounding you. In a ranking across the femme/butch gamut, if 1 is femme and 100 is butch, you fall between 48 and 52 on the scale. For a review of where you fall in the overall population in numbers, refer to this chart. Your group encompasses folks of all types, genders, and orientations, though is not as large a part of the population as the hard and soft androgynes surrounding you.

----------------------------

You are the best of both worlds, and have absolutely no feeling of being either femme or butch. You see yourself as "you" and that's all that matters. You dislike labels, surprised yourself by even taking this test, and are now laughing as you identify with this definition!

You switch roles fluidly without thinking from nurturing/subordinate to providing/leading as the situation demands. You are often a jack or jill of all trades and master of a few, but not all.

In clothing you go for the practical, not always bothering with the concept of neatness if that interferes with comfort or the time it takes to get dressed. Wrinkles don't drive you crazy, though you do prefer to keep reasonably up to date in your style, without going to any extreme in it.

You are shy in many ways, being intimidated by overt aggression as well as complete silence in a conversation. You tend to babble to fill silent space and clam up when confronted.

Odds are good astrologically that you are a Libra, Pisces, Gemini, or Aquarius.

You're willing to try anything once as long as it does not pose a risk to you. You're also good at doing just about any job, as long as you find a way to get trained for it. Physically, you're average in fitness, not being overly concerned about being either "curvy" or "chisled". If you are female and have some endowments, you wear a bra in public but not at home.

For partners you are comfortable with all types, for you are a peacemaker and changeling at heart, changing yourself to fit the situation and avoid hostility. You aren't a doormat, though, and do express your opionions.

Erm sounds somewhat close, as with all these tests it isn't exactly perfect

BOOT BUTCH
Your score placed you in the category of Boot Butch, the butch who likes to get out and party! You may also wish to review Classic Butch and Extreme Butch, the two categories surrounding you. In a ranking across the femme/butch gamut, if 1 is femme and 100 is butch, you fall between 84 and 91 on the scale. For a review of where you fall in the overall population in numbers, refer to this chart. Your group is pretty rare, but stands out in a crowd.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-You are proudly butch and dress the part, your costuming as important as what it covers. You prefer to wear black, have very short hair, never wear dresses, and prefer work shoes or boots.
-Your house is a mess. Sorry, but it's the norm for this type and you don't really fret over it, though you rarely invite over company due to a wincing insecurity about that.
-You are a fun date. You love to dance, go out, be busy, do things - it is hard for you to stand still. You earn a good income in an outdoor, technical position such as Fire Fighting or Cable Repair.
-Kids confuse you. They don't bug you but you don't know how to deal with them in any way other than to play a sport with them.
-Your relationships tend to be rocky, for you are a physical emoter and at a loss for words in communication. You take a lot for assumption only to find out you assumed wrong.
-Your best bet is a Classic Femme, for she follows a role that you are familiar with and know how to relate to. Lipstick and Extreme femmes often work out well for you too. Your buds are Extreme or Classic Butches.

I am none of the listed astrological signs - not even close

And I guess we are each in touch with our respective masculine/feminine sides!

SOFT ANDROGYNE

For most of your life and social interaction, you don't really see yourself as either butch or femme, but if pressed into a corner, you react more femme than butch. You prefer to seek aid rather than solve your problems on your own, and prefer to give aid rather than to encourage someone to stand on their own feet. You're fairly well balanced over all, with the occasional weakness you haven't quite yet conquered.

Education is important to you, as you see knowledge as a key to independence and freedom, and you tend to have a higher educational level than your peers, either formally or by self-teaching. You read a lot, and a varied assortment of genres, enjoying cartoons as much as heavy psych drama. Biography, however, bores you. You like historical anecdotes but are not very good at memorizing dates, having a more general sense of time.

Your home is a roof for you and not a showplace. Order is optional. You cook if you have to and are efficient at it but really don't like to bother. You prefer to be fed. You like small dogs or big cats and the occasional hamster.

You enjoy a fairly strong butch for a partner, along the lines of a Feminist or Classic Butch, and take on other Androgynes as friends. Family is not terribly important to you, and odds are good you came from a home where that was not the primary issue. You may have a good, but distant relation with your family, or may not be in touch at all, but it's pretty certain you don't live with them unless you have to, or in the same city.

HARD ANDROGYNE

Most of the time you really don't think of yourself as butch or femme, but if pressured, you tend to react aggressively - either to solve a problem or to defend yourself. You aren't extremely masculine, yet are more drawn to your masculine side than your feminine side.

Security is paramount to you, and the locks on your house and tendency to monogamy reflect that. You like money in the savings and a retirement plan in place. You are nervous and insecure without that. You are a good provider, often appearing in upper management positions, and are an excellent supervisor.

Logic and mathematics fascinate you, and you have a very good memory. You are best remembering what you have seen in a video sense - sound and picture. About half of what you read sticks with you and what you hear goes in one ear and out the other. Pictures you remember very well.

You like action adventure movies and books, though you don't read a lot. You are heavily into technology, computers, and fun lil gadgets to play with.

As a parent you are strict but not overbearing, and tend to be a bit over protective. You are a staunch defender of your legal rights.

For partners you prefer a softer femme, along the lines of the Classic or Lipstick Femme. For friends you encompass everyone, though you find Extreme Butches a bit plastic and pure Androgynes indecisive

Well most of it seems like me

HARD ANDROGYNE
Your score placed you in the category of Hard Androgyne. This is the "tom boy" type of ranking. You may also wish to review Androgyne and Gentle Butch, the two categories surrounding you. In a ranking across the femme/butch gamut, if 1 is femme and 100 is butch, you fall between 53 and 60 on the scale. For a review of where you fall in the overall population in numbers, refer to this chart. Your group encompasses folks of all types, genders, and orientations; it includes a large number of males and averages around 41 years of age.

I`m not 41 years old

AbysmalNature · Post by **AbysmalNature** » Tue Apr 02, 2002 3:56 pm

You are called Gentle Butch, often called a Femme butch, in a ranking across the femme/butch gamut, you fall between 61 and 67 on the scale. Your group is a large part of the lesbian population, and includes a fair number of feminist males.

You identify with being Butch, and are proud of it yet do not require your spouse or yourself to comply with gender roles and relationships. You like to open the door for ladies, but don't press the issue, and aren't offended if they prefer to open it themselves. In fact you are at times tickled to have it opened for yourself. You work hard most likely at a job requiring manual labor of some kind or an emergency rescue or health care profession. You handle human trauma well and have a strong stomach for it, but have a soft side if it involves children or the elderly.

You are physically fit and strong even if disabled in some way, you have compensated that loss in other strengths. You prefer a crisp neat style bordering on preppy.

Your house is generally neat though at times you let it slide, your good at cleaning up for the inlaws should they choose to visit. Housework is not your forte, but you don't object to helping out with that.

For partners you prefer the more androgenous femmes as in the Strong Femme and Soft androgyne, and for your buds you like other butches.

Cool I am kind of Butch, must have answered something right. Well it generally fits me pretty well, as well as of course strengthening my ego of course. At least I am not adrogenous.

Funny test.
