Great work as always. This is particularly a fascinating topic.

This is old school but the two dimensional model of Spence might be close? Here is a link to the PAQ scale - it captures psychological masculinity and femininity (grandiose narcissism aligns with masculinity more)

Dr. C. I do have a quick question:

You are clearly one of the (if not THE) world’s #1 researcher on narcissism, which runs high in men, so forgive me if I start at the top and work my way down.

My primary question is: Is there a questionnaire out there to decipher where a man is on the over-emotional vs rigidly cold masculine spectrum?

The feminist objection to the “male loneliness epidemic” is that males have been taught to be too rigid and subscribe to an idea of masculinity that includes power and control. To a degree they’re right.

We both know men need to learn to be more emotionally intelligent. We also know some men are so soft they’re no good to anyone.

I’m a mental health counselor. Men are one of my primary populations. If this questionnaire doesn’t exist, I’m looking to possibly develop one. Thank you for your time.

Ah, that's funny. I am reading your post in bed (it's almost 10:00 PM in France), after being in a state of flow for almost an hour, trying to modelize a procedural chain-link fence using Geometry Nodes (roughly: mathematicals operations to move points, transform meshes... using parameters) in a 3D software called Blender. Which I use as a hobbyist, not a professional, setting my own learning goals, purely for "fun" (chain-link fences are, as it turns out, not very good at generating awe, esthetic pleasure, or anything of that sort...). I could say I can almost physically feel my neurones grow, when I do that.

And I am at the 98th percentile in Consciousness (based on an evaluation done online, not by a professional) 😄.
