In 1988 Kottke proposed that androgyny, as measured on the Bern Sex-role Inventory according to Bern's 1977 classification method, is not two-dimensional but unidimensional and tested whether this concept could just as well be assessed with a single bipolar Masculinity-Femininity scale with Androgyny as a midpoint. In testing the relationship between the two assessment methods two errors have been made. First, the median splits were calculated for the sexes separately instead of for both sexes combined, leading to incomparable scores for men and women which are nevertheless combined in the analyses. Second, subjects who were undifferentiated according to Bern's classification were removed from the analyses, although Bern's definition of undifferentiated subjects corresponds exactly to Kottke's definition of androgynous subjects. Therefore, Kottke's study is not conclusive on the bipolarity of androgyny It is concluded that the concept of androgyny needs theoretical reconsideration

533 women and 361 men undergraduates were administered the 20-item masculine and the 20-item feminine scales of the Bern Sex-role Inventory. Factor analyses of the 40 items produced for both men and women 6 interpretable factors: nurturance, dominance, autonomy, bipolar M-F, competition, and leadership. Thus the inventory appears to be very complex. Nevertheless, multiple correlations ( R) of the 40 items with the total masculinity and femininity scores separately produced an R = .75 for the masculinity scale and R = .86 for the femininity scale. Most of the items with significant contributions to each of the scales were consistent with the original scoring used by Bem.

Es outline the steps in the development of an M-F scale having as its differentiating items 67 of those included in Ferguson's pair-comparisons self-assessment scale (Ferguson, 1970). Four replications show the scale to have sex-differentiating power.
