- If I recall my Psych of Women correctly, the Inventory was devised by feminist
- psychologist Dr. Sandra Bem. The result of the inventory are plotted on a
- "masculine"/"feminine" cartesian axes set, as follows:
-
- Quadrant I (high masculine/high feminine): subject is culturally androgynous
- II (low " /high " ): " " " feminine
- III (low " /low " ): " " " neuter (?)
- IV (hihg " /low " ): " " " masculine
-
- If it is given to anyone other than people taking psych of women courses, I
- don't know. Implicit in the test is the understanding that these are cultural
- definitions, not eternal truths.
