That "systemizing/empathy" thing

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.

*waves*

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....

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.

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 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.)
