What is Artemis?

Let me answer your question with another question:

In a time when biology no longer solely determines gender, and people can identify however they choose, how does anyone confirm their true gender identity?

 

So, do you have the answer? 🙂

Indeed, I do! Meet Artemis—the tool that reveals your true gender.

Think of Artemis as the ultimate gender oracle. It’s like a pregnancy test for your personality—a definitive, scientific answer to the age-old question. Just print your results, and voilà! Everyone will instantly know your gender identity. Simple, right?*

(*Artemis is developed with sincerity, supported by ongoing research. However, remember that it’s designed for entertainment—fun is key!)

Can you explain in a more serious tone?

Certainly! Artemis is a personality test aimed at assessing whether your personality leans more masculine or feminine, and to what extent.

I started with humor because this topic is steeped in complexity—scientific, sociological, and political challenges abound.

Scientific: There’s no conclusive empirical evidence defining male or female behaviors. We have patterns and trends, but they’re far from definitive.

Sociological: Even established personality traits may be shaped by culture and subject to change across time and regions.

Political: Discussions about gender differences often provoke debate, with varied perspectives adding to the complexity.

Note: This test is not about identifying subcategories like “girly girl” but instead focuses on gender identity.

 

Why create the personality test despite these challenges?

Sometimes, intuition leads the way. I trusted my instincts—perhaps a form of “female intuition”—over academic hesitations. To me, the differences between men and women are self-evident.

So, I reviewed research and built a quiz that identifies gendered personality traits. While it’s not 100% scientific, I’ve been transparent about its limitations from the start.

Even so, I’m proud of the quiz and continually work to refine it.

 

Can you share the methodology?

The approach is straightforward: I explored various sources of information on gender differences, including:

  • 20th-century studies on the Big Five personality traits (agreeableness, conscientiousness, extraversion, neuroticism, openness).
  • Recent (21st-century) experiments on gender.
  • Research into consumer behavior and gender preferences.
  • Gendered cultural, political, and philosophical tendencies.
  • Lifestyle patterns and how men and women approach daily life.

Based on this research, I crafted 25 targeted questions to generate meaningful insights about your personality’s gender leanings.

Don’t forget that this is part of Elle’s Pretty INC project.

Was it difficult to design?

Yes. Take assertiveness, for example: studies might show 60% of men and 40% of women are assertive. That overlap makes it hard to assign traits strictly by gender.

Gender research is full of these statistical gray areas, complicating clear distinctions.

 

How did you address these challenges?

I didn’t completely resolve them—if I had, this would be a groundbreaking discovery. But I’ve done my best by incorporating unconventional sources alongside academic studies.

The best way to see how it works is to take the test!
