I'm actualy insulted by this final comment of theirs. It assumes much.

129. What do you think Claire was most likely feeling at the moment this picture was taken? (Claire is the young woman) (Please select "Cannot be determined..." if you think that what the person is feeling is not obvious. Select "I don't know" if you don't know what the correct option is).

I read this several times and can not determine the difference between "can't tell" and "I don't know".

I had the same kind of answer; and the same initial reaction. But now I think it is just some kind of ad to incite you to buy their full report which, according to them, contain all sorts of miraculous advice on how to "improve yourself". I hate it the same, but is not a comment on your result, it is a commercial manipulation technique.

From what I understand :
- "Cannot be determined" is for if you think that answering the question is in itself impossible, because the information provided by the picture is objectively not sufficient to have an idea of her feelings. And for example, even someone much more skilled than you at reading facial expression would not be able to pick up anything.
- "I don't know" is for if, well, you don't know. You think it is possible to answer the question but you are not able to do it.

I think the first one is a "valid" answer that can be the right one in some scenes whereas the second just means "I give up on that question".

Thanks ouroborosUK. I guess I was focusing on "...is not obvious. Select "I don't know" if you don't know what the correct option is".

"not obvious" and "don't know" are the same to me.

And yes, the test is simply a Gotcha for more information and a sale.

Not suprising; the reading faces bit at the end was probably what got me :(

I find even IQ tests are a bit dodgy in what they really test-- arguably, things like empathy, social skills, and emotional disposition are even more difficult to quantify... so I would not place all that much confidence in an EQ test.

Results not a surprise with diagnosis moderately severe Aspergers.

Test seems to have changed since 2009 when the thread first started. What is the lowest and highest and "average" for this?

I'm so bad with emotions that I was feeling pretty pleased I was doing so well until I got the score. Now I'm just very, very angry.

"not obvious" and "don't know" are the same to me.

That's because you're a heartless toad, Gregory. A heartless, triangular, one-eyed toad.

74 - room for improvement! My ambivalence (neutrality) towards a lot of things probably impacted my overall score.
