By the way, Baron-Cohen is Borat's cousin.
Honestly that was one of the first things I thought; are they related in some way? Smallish world I suppose.

EQ 44
SQ 31
I don't feel this test is a very accurate indicator of empathy

0-32 = You have a lower than average ability for understanding how other people feel and responding appropriately.
33-52 = You have an average ability for understanding how other people feel and responding appropriately. You know how to treat people with care and sensitivity.
53-63 = You have an above average ability for understanding how other people feel and responding appropriately. You know how to treat people with care and sensitivity.
64-80 = 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.
You have gained no new skills.
yeah, me either. I think mine should have been slightly higher. But what makes you say that?
what?
I just mean that the answers all have the same meaning.
so no matter what the score is, we're all essentially the same according to the test?
Right, if we all know how to treat people with care and sensitivity what difference does it make? Doesn't seem like all that much.
Your Empathizing Quotient is 30. Baron-Cohen (2003) suggests that this means "you have a lower than average ability for understanding how other people feel and responding appropriately".
Your Systemizing Quotient is 31. Baron-Cohen (2003) suggests that this means "you have a lower than average ability for analysing and exploring a system".
What? The systemizing should be way higher. I'm good at analyzing and exploring systems of interest to me. I guess the systems asked about on this inventory didn't interest me as much but that doesn't mean I lack ability.
The last time I took this test I got 26 in SQ and 0 in EQ. I don't even understand how I got a 0. Sure, people are weird but I am not an idiot.
Oh, that is just to keep the little kids away. And some easily spooked adults aswell.What about your avatar?
I suppose this test is about your preference and not really what you are capable of.
People are always pointing out the male and female differences -why? It seems to be true, but since genders are encouraged to be more logical/emotional though social constructs it is impossible to confirm if this is really true. Looking at the results of members here says otherwise I think.Empathizing is considered "female" and systematizing is considered "male" according to Baron-Cohen's theory.
I got this;
I didn't read the OP...that quiz was so long! Anyway this was what i expected. People are always pointing out the male and female differences -why? It seems to be true, but since genders are encouraged to be more logical/emotional though social constructs it is impossible to confirm if this is really true.
