That "systemizing/empathy" thing

[xiphias]

44 SQ, 70 EQ. Gives me a "female brain".

Given that NOBODY I've seen so far has scored anywhere close to the mean on either of these, I suspect these tests are, to put it gently, bullshit.

Yes, they are. Stick around me and you'll see many quizzes that are -- politely -- bullshit *cough*puritytest*cough*.

I can't recall what he scored on that test SQ/EQ Test....

Bleh! That "he" in the last sentence should read "I".

<_<

I wish I had a clue what you were talking about.

See here -- it's a new supposedly scientific test showing the brain difference between men and women.

That test is obviously crap, but I still have faith in "What Sex Toy Are You?" (I am the hi-tech sex toy of the future.)

I've got a rant about how Asperger's is going to be the ADHD of the aughts--overdiagnosed, applied to normal variations in adult and child behavior, and used to pathologize otherwise normal children.

And on a completly unrelated note...

Go girlfriend!

You know, you are just sooooo kyute when you get all indignant like that!

Definitely bullshit. Since I scored 61 on the EQ and an apparently unprecedented FIFTY-NINE on the SQ. His little blurb says that women never score that high. Well, golly. I'm definitely a woman.

I dunno, I think that some explicit photos would be in order. Of course, although I scored 46 on the EQ and 31 on SQ, this comment alone should prove that I'm a man. (Or a lesbian.)

Hmph. How about a photo of my feminine, shapely middle finger, in an appropriate configuration? ;)

[goljerp]

Uh, no need... I can visualize it quite easily. :-)

I think that any test that gives only four options is going to give false results, unless there are a whole lot of questions. I think that I probably scored higher on the second test when I realized that I might as well express violent opinions because I'd get more points that way. (If you slightly disagree with a statement that gives points for agreement, you don't get any points. Yes, I know it's not all about getting points.) If there were more options - even a "no opinion" option - then it would be a better test. (And, of course, a more complex scoring scheme that would recognize the 'no opinion' answers.)
