Why am I not bothered by this?
I’m one of the most pretentious, jealous and selfish people I know, and I’m not really that bothered by it. I think on some level we all rather appreciate our own vices; they define us as much as our virtues do.

It’s meant to test how masculine or feminine your brain is. Apparently I’m just the teeniest smidgen closer to the female side, which surprised me — I’m not very good at the stuff that’s considered typically ‘masculine’. I might have just made some lucky guesses on the ones where you view 3D shapes from different angles, because I actually thought it was really hard. ^^
