In my first trial it took me 48 seconds to complete it and most of my checkmarks landed on the female or supporter side. Some of my assumptions were that the female or support is determined because in my own opinion when I think of a woman I think of someones very determined.

I think when women are assertive they come across as cold and bossy whereas men just come across as trying to get their job done and being strong. This double standard is very surprising and unfair to label women as not compassionate or caring simply for being driven and getting their point across more clearly and
