BBC Psych Surveys

Here are the tests. Some of my results:

I correctly identified 16 out of 20 people as either genuinely smiling or faking a smile.

80% of the time I prefer extroverted female faces over introverted female faces (confirming their hypothesis that extroverts prefer extroverted mates).

Left thumb on top: This suggests the right half of your brain is dominant. Some studies theorise that as a right brain dominant person, you may excel in visual, spatial and intuitive processes.

We asked you to measure your ring and index fingers. Your ratios came to:Right Hand: 0.95
Left Hand: 0.94Average ratio for men: 0.982

(Lower ratio = Higher testosterone)

Faces

This task looked at how you rate the attractiveness of a series of faces. The images you looked at were digitally altered to create slight differences in masculinity.

Your choices suggest you prefer more masculine female faces.
