Consistent with prior research, the researchers found that the following traits are most exaggerated among females when considered separately from the rest of the gestalt: sensitivity, tender-mindedness, warmth, anxiety, appreciation of beauty, and openness to change. For males, the most exaggerated traits were emotional stability, assertiveness/dominance, dutifulness, conservatism, and conformity to social hierarchy and traditional structure.

I feel like the last two male traits are the researchers going "men bad". It's exactly the language feminists use to rage about the supposed patriarchy, and I don't think it's true.

It's also interesting how I have almost all the female traits and few of the male ones.

As it says around 85-95% of people conform to their gender in multiples categories which means around 1 in 10 wont. It's not a small minority.

Men who have more female type personalities also tend to go into more female skewed jobs like teaching and social care. Which is yet more evidence that such differences are down to personal preference rather than patriarchy.

I wonder if that causes dysphoria or if it's the other way around. Unfortunate in any case.

sensitivity, tender-mindedness, warmth, anxiety, appreciation of beauty, and openness to change.
