Are you sure it's a social construct?

Not sure. That was my point I guess. It is hard to tell if it true or false because of that - if people behave a certain way because of social expectations / obligations or not. It is impossible for all women to be more emotionally intelligent and all men to be logically intelligent though. It seems like too much of a generalization to make. I think it is more likely to be a social construct, but I am not sure.

Yes. (I know I'm not the person you asked, but I am a sociology major so this something I discuss a lot.)

Feel like the test asked a lot more about preference than ability.


Yeah. My first thought was " How or why just doesn't interest me...unless it does."

My friends are all super into tech. When I ask them " Can this piece of equipment do what I want.?" and they give me an hour long lecture ( half of which I don't understand) I just want to shake them until they stop talking.

I like plants though. I want to know what they are called.

How can you be low on both? Did you skip school a lot?

Oh oh I did this test today without seeing it posted here (because of the intuitive vs analytical thinking styles test).

I got 33 on empathising, 12 on systemising.

This is an old thread but it's the most prominent one on this test.

EQ 3
SQ 47

I have looked at an some explanations of how the scoring works and the test gives a fair amount of scope for anomalies. It's far more accurate than guessing at random but still probably is within an appreciable margin of error. They have clearly done some additional things as well to scoring that I have not been able to find a written explanation of. I assume however that certain questions might have different weights and that some might exclude others.

There are problems where a non-strong answer is ambiguous. It appears the stronger the agreement or disagreement the stronger the score. This can be problematic where people are either more cautious in answering or where questions are not mutually exclusive. By that I mean that for some questions, being closer to the middle may either be because you're bad at both things or good at both things, it is ambiguous.

There are a few versions of the test out there and some have (strongly agree, agree, disagree, strongly disagree) where as others have (strongly agree, slightly agree, slightly disagree, strongly disagree).

You can play around with the scores to attempt to compensate for some of that.

A really simply way is to turn your scores into ratios, here are some examples:

Total 50
EQ 3 -> 6
SQ 47 -> 94

Total 77
EQ 44 -> 57
SQ 33 -> 43

Total 47
EQ 25 -> 52
SQ 22 -> 48

Total 46
EQ 42 -> 91
SQ 4 -> 8

Total 47
EQ 31 -> 66
SQ 16 -> 34

Total 130
EQ 94 -> 72
SQ 36 -> 28

On a random side note I have discovered that this research proves that guys with Asperger's Syndrome are real men.

That was intended humorously.
