I took the Bem sex role questionnaire because I'm looking at these tests for background information for a story.  My score could have been female sex-typed, male sex-typed, androgynous, or undifferentiated.

I was undifferentiated.  The female score was a bit higher than the male score, but both were under the threshold.

Naturally, I'm underimpressed, though honestly if I was to be required to guess how I would come out on a standardized test, I would probably have guessed about this.

Mainly, I'm sort of puzzled as to what good the test is.  Of what use is it to tell people whether or not they fit a gender role stereotype?  Or do people use it for ammunition when they're trying to create a program for their lives that allows them to live comfortably?  Does anybody know how this test is actually used for people?

It's not, after all, useful to the story at hand.
