Title: Your Brain
Description: Empathetic or Systemizing?

What type of brain do you have?
According to some researchers, there are two main types of brains, empathetic and systemizing. These are often referred to as female and male (respectively), which I think is unfortunate...
Anyhoo, this page links to two quizzes on the subject:

My score on the empathizing test: 17
My score on the systemizing test: 73
Oh yeah, forgot to mention that this thread was inspired by 4jacks talking in the guys' forum about women needing to get better at math and science... :P

There are A LOT of questions in the quiz....

Empathizing Quotient: 50
You have an average ability for understanding how other people feel and responding appropriately. Most people with Asperger Syndrome or high-functioning autism score about 20. On average, most women score about 47 and most men about 42.
Sympathizing Quotient: 46
You have an above average ability for analysing and exploring a system. Systemizing is the drive to analyse and explore a system, to extract underlying rules. On average, most women score about 24 and most men about 30. Most people with Asperger Syndrome or high-functioning autism score between 40-50.
Hmmm.....

I can't get this to work. I double checked, to see if I had Macromedia Flashplayer and I do. I click on the link and get nothing.

I think that they just have really low systemizing quotients.
:cheeky:

I turned off my pop up blocker and it works. I don't know why, because it didn't pop up!
OK, my EQ is 61

My SQ is 32
You have an average abilty for analyzing and exploring a system. Systemizing is the drive to analyze and explore a system, to extract underlying rules that govern the behavior of a system; and the drive to construct the systems. On average, women score 24 and men about 30.
