Average for men: 42
Average for women: 47



Measure your Systemising Quotient:

Average for men: 30
Average for women: 24



For the record, I got 57 and 47 respectively.

I'm not sure of the value in these kind of simple tests, particularly since it seems easy to manipulate them to represent what you believe you be the truth about yourself, as opposed to what is actually the case and what others might say for you. However, it's all good fun.

Christ, only 22 for the first one. It says I might be autistic. I know which thread I'll be reading next.

I don't know whether to or at your post!

EQ = 13
SQ = 40

[beano500]

likewise!

30 on the first one and 56 on the second!


Still, the problem with anything like this is when you start analysing the questions and realise taht they can be read with different emphasis or by agreeing/disagreeing to a part of the statement.

EQ = 19
SQ = 43

My SQ is 57

I reckon the other one is broken

Clearly there's some "common traits" amongst the hardcore PH community!?

36 & 44 for me

22 and 50
borderline asperger's then. Oh well, can't bring myself to get too emotional about it obviously.

You must be feeling disappointment, but are uncomfortable talking about it. Why don't you join the group and tell us about your emotional needs

I was hoping to get a Bond-like 0 on the empathy test, but it turns out I'm a namby pamby metrosexual. Do I want to talk about it? Do you want to be unable to talk, ya fairy?

33 and 51. The SQ test had a definite "geek" feel to it

Another with autism/aspergers 22/45 - perhaps those averages quoted were for the average Guardian reader.

Chip on each shoulder?

[lotuslad]

The SQ test is clearly on the blink

However I clicked 'strongly agree' for things like architecture and furniture. Unfortunately I couldn't give a monkey's whatnot how a computer or gadget works.
