Girly boys and boyish girls. What you're talking about (and what gender as social construct describes) is that those tests would be (semi)objective quantitative measurements of relativist qualities. Just to bring it around full circle, the respondents can and will lie. Some because they fear being exposed and others because they wish it were so.
FWIW, I don't believe a person actually typifies whatever gender they identify as merely because they claim to be that gender - and yet I manage not to be a dick. This framing is straw, meant to excuse being an asshole by, essentially, claiming that being an asshole is just correct. When it gets pointed out that it is not, in fact, correct, the straw vendor will then bitch about a persons moral right to be wrong. It's tedious.
