Misandry Scale Test

People who want to examine their own beliefs about men may use the Misandry Scale Test as a structured reflection on gender-related attitudes. It suits readers examining broad judgments about men, including beliefs that may feel familiar or socially justified. The result indicates the level of negative attitudes toward men expressed through broad comparisons and generalizations. A misandry assessment can highlight beliefs worth examining without reducing them to a single explanation.

What This Assessment Explores

Across the items, the misandry questionnaire compares women and men in relational, family, and social settings. For self-reflection, the result can reveal stereotypes or bias shaping these broad judgments.

The statements cover four thematic areas:

• Comparative judgments show whether the respondent sees women as more moral, capable, organized, or responsible.
• Threat and conduct beliefs indicate whether men are linked with violence, crime, deception, infidelity, irritability, or selfishness.
• Family and social roles reveal views of male leadership, breadwinning, custody, domestic work, and changing expectations.
• Masculinity stereotypes capture views of men as passive, immature, detached, appearance-focused, or lacking traditional qualities.

Results show the Misandry scale from 0-100: Low 0-33, Moderate 34-66, High 67-100. The result reflects negative attitudes toward men in these answers and may highlight stereotypes or bias for self-reflection, but cannot explain their source or influence behavior.

Methodology and Scientific Basis

Each statement uses a seven-point agreement response, moving from strong disagreement to strong agreement, with a midpoint. Some choices use completely rather than strongly, but they serve the same ordered response format. The selected answers are combined into the displayed Misandry score; weighting, reverse-keying, and the item-level formula are not specified, so they should not be inferred from the range.

Misandry Scale (Pyatkova & Savinskaya, 2020) is the closest conceptual source for this test of attitudes toward men. It examines normative perceptions of negative attitudes toward men, while Malmi (2009) and Nathanson and Young (2006) place related stereotypes and discrimination in social and institutional contexts. These works support interpretation of the themes, not a claim that this online questionnaire is identical to, adapted from, or validated by them.

The displayed bands are result categories rather than population norms. Self-report scores can shift with current experiences, social desirability, and how respondents distinguish broad generalizations from specific situations. Read the result as an indicator of attitudes expressed in these answers, not as a diagnosis or complete account of a person’s beliefs.
