Deenz Gender Role Scale (DGRS-24)

Gender Role Test is an interactive version of the Deenz Gender Role Scale (DGRS-24). It is designed to measure how feminine or masculine your personality is, based on the social and cultural expectations and norms regarding behavior, responsibilities, and characteristics.

This self-report questionnaire consists of 24 statements about your behaviors and day-to-day life experiences. For each statement, there are five response options ranging from strongly agree to strongly disagree. You need to indicate the response that you feel is appropriate and best describes your view.

You will be presented with 24 statements describing behaviors, attitudes, emotional tendencies, social expectations, leadership preferences, caregiving tendencies, and interpersonal styles.

Read each statement carefully and select the response that best reflects your typical behavior, beliefs, or experiences. Answer honestly based on how you generally think, feel, and act rather than how you believe you should respond.

There are no right or wrong answers. The assessment typically requires 3 to 5 minutes to complete.

Participation in this digital version of Deenz Gender Role Scale (DGRS-24) is completely anonymous. We do not collect or store your results for research purposes.

The idea behind gender roles is that everyone can express a mix of both feminine and masculine traits. This test aims to assess your behavior and personality in the context of gender roles, exploring both your femininity and masculinity.

In a society, different norms, roles, and behaviors are deemed appropriate based on perceived gender. These expectations influence relationships, family dynamics, education, profession, and personal emotional expressions. These roles and expectations have evolved and continue to change.

Modern gender roles reject the notion that certain feelings and responsibilities belong to a particular gender. Psychologists and researchers have recognized the need to study gender roles in modern perspectives and led to the emergence of new studies on human behavior and the development of modern psychometric scales.

The DGRS-24 measures two primary dimensions:

Masculine Traits
Feminine Traits

Higher scores indicate stronger endorsement of the corresponding gender-role characteristics.

The assessment may classify individuals into one of four broad gender-role profiles:

Masculine
Feminine
Androgynous
Undifferentiated

Results are descriptive rather than prescriptive and should not be interpreted as fixed labels or measures of personal worth.
