Empathy Quotient

inspired by glenn and his constant quiz-taking, i found one that looked pertinent today:

Your EQ score is 27.

0-32
You have a lower than average ability for understanding how 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.

great news! i'm not autistic!

what's your EQ?

31. I got 31. I'm not sure I appreciate being below average. But I don't really care what they think. And I, and I'm sure you too, make up for it in other ways! ;)

Hi Ash. I didn't know that you had a blog! I got a 40, which is close to being average for a male.

hi kernon. i have a blog. in fact, in october i will celebrate 3 years of having a blog. maybe. i haven't really celebrated on years 1 and 2. but since i am almost 30 now, i might start celebrating more often.

I did this test a couple of days ago and scored abit too high for my liking and therefore refuse to remember the exact number but it was dangerously close to the female high. i dont know how to take this, am i just a New Age Sensistive Male or just a wimp? i would have to admit that i got tired of answering all those questions so by the end i was clicking on anything........ that's not too empathetic eh?! How did i get my job?!

blizza, being a SNAG is the same thing as being a wimp. i think you cheated, though. half the time when i am talking you don't even hear what i am saying because you are watching television. reckon you're normal.
