It doesn't matter what gender you are, whether you are male or female, as your brain could simply be just the opposite.

According to researcher Dr Nick Drydakis, any person irrespective of their gender could have a male brain referred to as Type-S brain or a female brain which is known as a Type-E brain. Further, this new research by Anglia Ruskin University, also suggests that those imbibed with a 'male brain' earn significantly more than those with a 'female brain', reports the Daily Mail.

Dr Drydakis's study delved into analyzing if a person's brain type had any link to how much they earned in their professions. Over 16,000 Britons were part of this study, reported the Daily Mail. This study is a take on a similar research carried out previously by researcher Simon Baron-Cohen of the Cambridge University. The theory psychologist Baron-Cohen had put forth was that not all men have male brains and not all women have female brains. He claimed that there was the 'systemizer' (male) brain and the 'empathizer' (female) brain and people's genders were irrelevant to the type of brains they have.

According to the Daily Mail, the 4 key takeaways from Dr Drydakis's new research is that people with male brains tend to be better at analyzing and systemizing information, while those with a female brain are better off at empathizing on an emotional level with others.

 In terms of salaries, men with male brains earned 9.8% more than their female brained counterparts. Similarly, women with male brains earned 6.3% more than their female brained counterparts, reports The Telegraph. Why this is so, has not been established as such.

However on a contrary note and debunking this male brain/female brain theory, according to Science Daily, Dr. Lise Eliot, PhD, associate professor of neuroscience at the Rosalind Franklin University's medical school, was quoted as saying, "Many people believe there is such a thing as a 'male brain' and a 'female brain. But when you look beyond the popularized studies -- at collections of all the data -- you often find that the differences are minimal."
