This index is a continuum, ranging from 0% ([[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Masculinity|masculinity]]) to 100% ([[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Femininity|femininity]]). A gender index of 50% indicates androgyny, where equal levels of feminine and masculine characteristics are present ([[sections]]: [[demographics]] ([[sex & gender]]) and [[secondary & linked variables]]). |
