Empathizer or systemizer?

I am a hardcore systemizer (SQ= 66, EQ=22).

Empathizing quotient: http://personality-testing.info/tests/EQ.php

Systemzing quotient: http://personality-testing.info/tests/SQ.php

How about you all?

From Wikipedia:

The empathizing–systemizing (E-S) theory classifies people on the basis of their scores along two dimensions: empathizing (E) and systemizing (S). It measures a person's strength of interest in empathy (defined as the drive to identify a person's thoughts and feelings and to respond to these with an appropriate emotion); and a person's strength of interest in systems (defined as the drive to analyse or construct a system). A system in turn is defined as anything that follows rules, key classes of systems including mechanical systems, natural systems, abstract systems, and collectible systems. Rules in turn are defined as repeating, lawful patterns.

Your emotional quotient is 71 (out of 80). Baron-Cohen (2003) suggests that this means "you have a very high ability for understanding how other people feel and responding appropriately. You know how to treat people with care and sensitivity".

Your systemizing quotient is 49 (out of 80). Baron-Cohen (2003) suggests that this means "you have an average ability for analysing and exploring a system".

Eh. I would like these results more if they used "preference" instead of "ability". That being said, I still think I'm much more of a systemizer than my results suggest. Maybe since I'm also a strong empathizer, I just don't have the processing power to systematize everything that crosses my path. I do systematize everything I think about; maybe I just think about fewer things.

fuck you, just because I don't like reading instructions and I don't have asperger's syndrome, doesn't mean I don't like science.

Your emotional quotient is 41 (out of 80). Baron-Cohen (2003) suggests that this means "you have an average ability for understanding how other people feel and responding appropriately. You know how to treat people with care and sensitivity".

fuck you, just because I don't feel sad during movies doesn't mean I'm not empathetic

Average score - I'm good at some things and not good at others, so I guess average makes sense there.

21 Systemizing Quotient
"lower than average ability for analysing and exploring a system"
Ability is a very poor choice of words, its apathy toward details, not ability. :)

Empathizing: 39, average ability

Systematizing: 31, below-average ability. :shock:
Alot of those questions seemed to be about details I just don't care about.

More empathetic than systemizing this time? What has happened to me? :shocking:

I think engineers are about the only people who would score really high on this.)

Hmm.. I answered "Yes" on the reading people but "no" on the acting on it in general. It's not healthy to get involved with your friends problems......

That tests is very oriented toward S world views. Not that there's anything wrongwith it but I do not think that say, acting cliché is proof of actually understanding one's social surrounding or that over estimating one's ability to read others speaks very highly about one's social intelligence. Basically a person with the emotional depth of a trained lab rat could test 10 or 70, it's not a test it's an assessment for the solipsistic.

Also alot of questions were like 'do you often think of x in a given situation'. So if I thought about it 10 years ago but then I went on to do other things with my brains it means I regressed on that scale according to the assessment ? I mean I'm fine with that but there's just too many holes and 'bugs' in that test. My mind was screaming at all the logical inconsistencies and ways in which the test is clearly biaised toward specific world views rather than the capacities they profess to be testing for.
