Can you explain a bit what each is? I know one is typically male the other female, but I don't know which... It would help me figure out what I am in terms of personality. Although I already know I'm a bit of both...

This site (re Main Concepts of Taoism) contains a description of yin and yang:

http://www.geocities.com/Athens/Delphi/2883/main.html

(don't know how to make it a link)

Excerpt:

The yin/yang symbol is one of the oldest and best known symbols in the world, but few understand its meaning. It represents the two poles of existence which are opposite but complementary, and which exist in everything. Yin represents everything that is feminine, dark, withdrawn, receptive and passive and things moving down and in. Yang represents the masculine, bright, forceful and expansive, and movement out and up.

thanks for the link! (nm) » mist

Hmmmmmm....Ofcourse I want to say both...but some days I'm extremely yin and other days extremely yang. I guess it's the bipolar in me...
At my most level, though, I would say yang.
