The Empathy Quotient (EQ)

[Sonrisa]

Your Systemizing Quotient is 60.

What your score means

On average, most women score about 24 and most men about 30.

You have a very high ability for analysing and exploring a system. Three times as many people with Asperger Syndrome score in this range, compared to typical men, and almost no women score this high.

What type of brain do you have?
According to Baron-Cohen's theory, a person (whether male or female) has a particular 'brain type'. There are three common brain types: the female brain, the male brain and the balanced brain.

You can see where you fit by plotting your SQ score on the horizontal axis and your EQ score on the vertical axis on the graph below.

For some individuals, empathising is stronger than systemising. This is called the female brain, or a brain of type E.

For other individuals, systemising is stronger than empathising. This is called the male brain, or a brain of type S.

Yet other individuals are equally strong in their systemising and empathising. This is called the 'balanced brain', or a brain of type B.

The balanced brain would fit on the diagonal in the top right of the graph - this is where both EQ and SQ are equally strong.

The extreme female brain (which would be at the top left of the graph) has yet to be discovered according to Baron-Cohen. The extreme male brain (bottom right of the graph) may be a manifestation of autism.

A key feature of the theory is that your sex cannot tell you which type of brain you have. Not all men have the male brain, and not all women have the female brain. The central claim of this new theory is only that on average, more males than females have a brain of type S, and more females than males have a brain of type E.

how did you manage to get the highest score possible? were you sincere?

[Sonrisa]

I got an EQ of 58 and an SQ of 40, which it says means that I am balanced.

I got a 32 on the gender thing, but I can't take any meaning from that because the test was fundamentally flawed as a test. The answer options were not close to comprehensive and the tester's bias was strong and applied random and unsound interpretations to the reasons for respondant's answers.

male or female?

how did you manage to get the highest score possible? were you sincere?

Yes, I was sincere. Didn't know it was the highest score, though. Does that make me special or something?

[doppelgaenger]

lies! lies i tell ya!

You're just mad 'cause I called you a cunt once. I already apologized... when do we get to have make up sex?

[Sonrisa]

You're just mad 'cause I called you a cunt once. I already apologized... when do we get to have make up sex?

lies! you never apologized!

[Looq]

Heh, I guess that means I have a balanced brain or something.

Actually that would put in in Type-S. Closer to Extreme Type-S than to Type-B (balanced).

oh, and i'd prefer it on both knees

[Sonrisa]

Actually that would put in in Type-S. Closer to Extreme Type-S than to Type-B (balanced).

type S it is

Aha I scored much more above men's average but I'm still having average ability of analizing... Fine

[girl68]

if you are a female than you got us all beat, and males as well

Except me, I kicked your ass.

[Sonrisa]

Except me, I kicked your ass.

whose ass? why? how?

[girl68]

Didn't you say that 31 that's the lowest score? Mine was 20...

[Sonrisa]
