Back in the 1970s, researchers assumed femininity and masculinity were opposites (negatively correlated) and used on scale to measure them, with a high score being more feminine and a low score being more masculine.. In this article, based on my honors thesis at UC Berkeley, I measured femininity and masculinity separately rather than assuming they were opposites.. As it turned out, the two measures were slightly positively correlated. Even more, creative male architects were more feminine but no less masculine than their less creative peers. One way to understand this result is to think of creativity as an androgynous process involving both openness and receptivity, on the one hand, and the ability to pursue doggedly a project once inspiration has struck, on the other hand. These days, with the current generation breaking gender roles wide open, it is not clear how such a study would be conceptualized or designed. What is clear is that something profoundly creative is happening.
