Musings of an Aspie. The Empathy Quotient (EQ) The Empathy Quotient is intended to measure how easily you pick up on other people's feelings. Sometimes I feel that I am an odd ball among the odd balls or the tests are just flawed. (This all happened before I came up with the bucket. I also tend to eat my meals in an organized way so that I don’t “run out of” any food before the other. Testen Sie Ihre Emotionale Intelligenz - anonym und kostenlos.

If you leave them overnight, they’ll smell a bit off, but rewashing can fix it. There must be more questions in a similar vein that could be used to circumvent the gender issue, but that might not result in the desired outcomes I supposed. Given that people here are scoring well over 100, and the average scores given here for NT and ASD fall in the range 66-81, this seems a very small difference in scores to imply a significant difference in behaviour.

It would be worth your time!

male bodies are on average taller than female bodies, female basketball players have taller bodies on average than females in general, therefore, female basketball players have “male bodies”).Setting aside the extreme male brain theory, what can we learn from the SQ?


It was very revealing to look at the ranges and such for the AQ raw data. My shopping is organised into cold stuff (with frozen food nowhere near fruit and veg, tyvm), stuff at ambient temperature and stuff that i don’t want spilt on my food. I swap my clothes with the changing of the seasons too, putting away all but a few out of season choices and placing the in-season options on hangars and shelves.There’s a lot to be said for an organized closet. The same goes for knowing the species of animals and trees or the make-up of committees and governments.

I guess that was meant to be a compliment?I came out as an extreme systemiser when I took the test combined with the EQ (although it seems that was the unrevised version), having taken it again I got 82. It could be a building, a car, a chair, or a scupture. Am female but I agree with the extreme male type brain theory--I've found I think/react more like a guy than what is typically expected for a woman (that is, little to no feelings involved when making decisions, direct communication, not expressing weak emotions or appearing vulnerable to others. Most of the women I know are more organized than their male counterparts. Post was not sent - check your email addresses! trousers are on the shelf above them. Then it was just for fun, though.24) When I learn about historical events, I do not focus on exact dates.The London Fire of 1666 directly following the Plague year of 1665… if you don’t know the dates how do you tie them together in a mental timeline?44) My clothes are not carefully organised into different types in my wardrobe.panties in one drawer, socks on the other. This test appears embody an assumption that systemising is a trait that applies irrespective of the subject matter and I would be interested in seeing a correlation between SQ scores and the degree of interest in the subjects covered.Yes, a lot of the questions feel very interest-dependent.

I didn’t answer strongly in most cases, only when it’s something that is or has been a passion of mine, but I am generally interested in understanding how everything works and don’t really understand how people might not want to know that.I could not agree more strongly with you that being systematic is a survival mechanism when you’re on the spectrum, especially if you’re the type with executive function and working memory difficulties like I am (big overlap with AD(H)D traits there, and it’s also a common pattern for dyspraxia).I would also say that people on the spectrum tend to be concrete thinkers and so less likely to be interested in things that can’t be represented as concrete thoughts. I really, really don’t understand the extreme male theory, it just doesn’t make any sense to me.I didn’t get anything because for some strange reason there is no ‘start’ button on the test when I tried to access it. I always balance my checkbook and check things off. The garden is producing lots of cucumbers and tomatoes, a few eggplants and peppers. The CDs I actually listen to are sort of alphabetical. Simon Baron-Cohen, in his desire to wedge autistics into his extreme male brain theory, contrasts systemizing with empathizing as the two primary ways in which humans make sense of their worlds.The basic premise of the extreme male brain theory is that neurotypical males are better at systemizing and neurotypical females are better at empathizing. I am a science teacher and I don’t agree with his methods. not my system. . It struck me as very telling that when the SQ was revised to remove some of the questions that were in “traditionally male domains” and add more questions that might be relevant to females, they removed questions related to investing, religion and culture and added questions related to shopping, cleaning, music and clothing.You can take the SQ-R (2005 revised version of the SQ) at the I scored an 85. Thank you for the link. It’s not uncommon for me to get through 3 wash loads a day, these days!Yeah, I guess should appreciate being able to do laundry every few days.

But I’m still heavily dependent on routines and habits and systems, because without them life would be chaos.

Psychomeda ist ein.

It’s just easier that way.
