The Bem Sex-Role Inventory (BSRI), developed by renowned social psychologist Sandra Bem (1944-2014), is a widely used tool for measuring masculinity and femininity. It aims to assess how individuals psychologically identify with gender traits and explore the concept of androgyny—combining both masculine and feminine characteristics. While the BSRI has faced some criticism regarding its relevance, it remains a popular test in gender research and student projects. Some researchers still consider it a valid measure today (Carver et al., 2013), though others have raised doubts (Colley et al., 2009).
