“…The highest, correlations are to be found between the MMPI Mf scale and the SVIB MF scale, with rs approximating .70 in mixed-sex groups (Heston, 1948;Nance, 1949). Among males only, they range from .32 to .53, with a concentration around .50 (Barrows & Zuckerman, 1960;Himelstein & Stoup, 1967;Nance, 1949;Shepler, 1951;Wright & L'Abate, 1970), while for females only they range from .20 to .55 (Klopfer, 1966;Nance, 1949;Shepler, 1951).…”

The major tests of masculinity-femininity (M-F) in adults are reviewed with special attention to the ways in which their construction and use reflect three untested assumptions about the nature of the M-F construct: (a) that it is best defined in terms of sex differences in item responses; (6) that it is a single bipolar dimension ranging from extreme masculinity at one end to extreme femininity at the other; and (c) that it is undimensional in nature and can be adequately measured by a single score. Evidence which questions the validity of these assumptions and, therefore, of the tests of M-F is presented, with the conclusion that further theoretical and empirical work is necessary in all aspects of the problem.
