Bem Sex-Role Inventory

The Bem Sex-Role Inventory (BSRI) is a 60-item self-report instrument developed by Sandra L. Bem in 1974 to measure psychological androgyny — the degree to which a person endorses culturally masculine and culturally feminine personality attributes independently of their biological sex. Respondents rate how well each of 20 masculine, 20 feminine, and 20 neutral filler traits describes them on a 7-point scale, and are then classified as masculine, feminine, androgynous, or undifferentiated.
