Baron-Cohen EQ/SQ test

Cartesian_Dualism · 2014-08-27T00:25:23+00:00

Your Empathizing Quotient is 9. 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 69. Baron-Cohen (2003) suggests that this means "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".

Bearing in mind, I have been formally diagnosed with ASD/Asperger's Syndrome.

Autistic spectrum disorders occur far more frequently in males than they do in females. Although precisely why this is is currently unknown, Simon Baron Cohen has hypothesized a very interesting theory that Asperger's is essentially a form of an extreme male type brain, which could partially explain why this is. High fetal testosterone levels could well play a role in the development of AS. I sometimes wonder whether women on the spectrum are more likely to have differing sexualities or gender identities, seeing as how female homosexuality is also associated with high fetal testosterone levels.

Mine:

Your Empathizing Quotient is 11. 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 19. Baron-Cohen (2003) suggests that this means "you have a lower than average ability for analysing and exploring a system".

I'm interested in understanding some types systems but not others. Many of those that appeared on the test are boring to me.

EQ-74

Bleeding heart liberal.

Getting average up in here.

Your Systemizing Quotient is 61. Baron-Cohen (2003) suggests that this means "you have an above average ability for analysing and exploring a system"

Exner2 · 2014-08-27T02:38:47+00:00

I'm the outlier here, I think. EQ - 69, SQ - 11.

An interesting quiz if nothing else.

Your Systemizing Quotient is 39. Baron-Cohen (2003) suggests that this means "you have an average ability for analysing and exploring a system".

I am so average! I think a lot of it is situational though.

Edit: For reference, I have an Asperger's diagnosis from when I was about 12, so maybe I outgrew it. Go figure. Or that diagnosis wasn't all that accurate.

Your Empathizing Quotient is 31. Baron-Cohen (2003) suggests that this means "you have a lower than average ability for understanding how other people feel and responding appropriately".

I felt like I was both autistic and emotional while taking this.

RobotPartsCorp · 2014-08-27T00:31:29+00:00

48/63

Very interesting.

Redpillers having a low EQ doesn't surprise me but I guess I am a little surprised at the low SQ scores. Maybe I shouldn't be, but no curiosity for the world, no interest in how things work? That's just disappointing.

MagicGainbow · 2014-08-27T08:05:50+00:00

As a diagnosed autistic, I can't see me scoring to highly.

i scored higher than the women avg?

I hate being average in the second thing though... I'm supposed to be an engineer :(

[deleted] · 2014-08-27T22:02:44+00:00

EQ 53, SQ 45.

I expected to have a higher EQ but I guess that would require me to care about other people rather than just read their emotions.

[deleted] · 2014-08-28T04:06:03+00:00

EQ-64 SQ-59. I took this test (a version of it) at the Guardian website and got the same scores - high on both counts.

[deleted] · 2014-10-17T08:35:12+00:00

23/17 so both are low - maybe I am just dumb, except that on IQ tests I tend to be around 140. Weird.

For most questions I just had no idea why should I even care about either how mountains are formed and railroads are connected, or about what a random person feels. I guess I am occupied with my things.

xthecharacter · 2014-10-19T19:14:07+00:00

EQ28/SQ57. Yep sounds about right

SirNemesis · 2014-08-27T00:12:58+00:00

I got EQ-18, SQ-55.

[deleted] · 2014-08-27T02:40:50+00:00

Completely fucking average apparently. Right in the middle of the graph. A 39 and a 42. I forget which is which. I don't like this test.

As someone with ADD, I feel that my disposition toward systematic analysis and empathy tend to fluctuate. >[

Your Empathizing Quotient is 54. Baron-Cohen (2003) suggests that this means "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".

I would have suspected that the EQ score would be lower than average...

That's another for the 'average' people
