another gender prediction test

I started reading a fascinating pregnancy book last night, Do Chocolate Lovers Have Sweeter Babies.  Here's the description from Amazon:

Brain Candy for expectant parents! 
Pregnancy is an adventure. Lots of books tell you the basics—“the baby is the size of [insert fruit here].” But pregnant science writer Jena Pincott began to wonder just how a baby might tinker with her body—and vice versa—and chased down answers to the questions she wouldn’t ask her doctor, such as:
• Does stress sharpen your baby’s mind—or dull it?
• Can you predict your baby’s temperament?
• Why are babies born in the darker months of the year more likely to grow up to be novelty-loving risk takers?
• Are bossy, dominant women more likely to have boys?
• How can the cells left behind by your baby affect you years later?

This is a different kind of pregnancy book—thoughtful, fun, and filled with information you won’t find anywhere else.


It's super interesting so far. Anyway, in the second chapter the author writes about many of the various influences on sex. One turns out to be parental (especially maternal) personality traits! So of course we took the on-line quiz (here). 

Our results?

Out of ten possible categories, your score put you in Category 5.

Of all the women who have taken this test so far, 15% have had scores that put them in Category 5.

Of those women, 65% of them have conceived and given birth to boys, and 35% have conceived and given birth to girls.

So for you we would predict, if you become pregnant within the next 4 - 5 weeks, you would be 35% likely to conceive a girl and 65% likely to conceive a boy.
