The Bem Sex-Role Inventory (BSRI) is a measure of masculinity and femininity, and is used to research gender roles.[1] It assesses how people identify themselves psychologically. Sandra Bem's goal of the BSRI was to examine psychological androgyny and provide empirical evidence to show the advantage of a shared masculine and feminine personality versus a sex-typed categorization.[2] The test is formatted with 60 different personality traits which participants rate themselves based on a 7-point Likert scale. Traits are evenly dispersed, 20 masculine, 20 feminine, and 20 filler traits thought to be gender neutral.[3] All traits in the BSRI are positively valued personality aspects.[4] Numerous past studies have found that gender categorizations are correlated with many stereotypical gendered behaviors.[3]
