I hope this is a feature of my browser and not my vision, but I only saw 40 boxes, not 100, and all 40 of them were completely blank.

WTF, China? Earrings are extremely macho masculine when men wear them. A century or more ago in the West a man who wore earrings was stereotypically a longshoreman or an equally big tough sailor. The only thing that makes us think of earrings as exclusively feminine is that increased mechanism meant there was less need for muscle work with ships so that style went out of fashion.

I scored 2. There are only 40 boxes (not blank for my browser). It seems that other versions of the test have 100 boxes.

It would have helped if the instructions were at the top of the page so I wouldn't have had to wonder why dragging the first/last boxes wasn't working.
