Empathy versus systemizing. In which one are you more AS?

Post Reply New Topic

This is a cool test (at least for me).
It makes together 4 different test (the typical autism test, Empathy test, eye contact/theory of mind test, systemizing test), it also tell you the score in each group correlated with Asperger/Autism.

Usual values:

Systemazing:
0 - 19 = low
20 - 39 = average (most women score about 24 and most men score about 30)
40 - 50 = above average (most people with Asperger Syndrome or high-functioning autism score in this range)
51 - 80 is very high (three times as many people with Asperger Syndrome score in this range, compared to typical men, and almost no women score in this range)
80 is maximum


Empathy:
0 - 32 = low (most people with Asperger Syndrome or high-functioning autism score about 20)
33 - 52 = average (most women score about 47 and most men score about 42)
53 - 63 is above average
64 - 80 is very high
80 is maximum


Eyes reading:
A typical score is in the range 22-30. If you scored over 30,
you are very accurate at decoding a person's facial expressions
around their eyes. A score under 22 indicates you find this quite difficult

Autism:
0 - 10 = low
11 - 22 = average (most women score about 15 and most men score about 17)
23 - 31 = above average
32 - 50 is very high (most people with Asperger Syndrome or high-functioning autism score about 35)
50 is maximum

---------------

My score:
Systemizing quotient: 70/80 (more than the average autie)
Empathy quotient: 27/80 (less than normal, more than the average autie)
Reading the mind in the eyes: 22/30 (less than normal, more than the average autie)
Autism Spectrum quotient: 37/50 (around the average for Asperger and HFA)

I took this test in the past and scored low for both empathy and systemizing...I think I also did pretty badly on the reading the eyes test...I should probably take it again. It has been a while.

systemizing 24
empathy 8
autism spectrum 26
mind in the eyes 22

System: 25
Autistic: 39
Empathy: 12
Mind's eye: 22

Some of those old man eyes were really creepy no?

Systemising: 58
Empathy: 11
AQ: 36
Mind in the eyes: 26

My scores:
SQ: 74 out of 80
EQ: 7 out of 80
Reading the mind in the eyes: 13 (that was difficult.)
AQ: 42/50

Systemizing quotient:

Your score: 41
0 - 19 = low

80 is maximum


Empathy quotient:

Your score: 15
0 - 32 = low (most people with Asperger Syndrome or high-functioning autism score about 20)
33 - 52 = average (most women score about 47 and most men score about 42)
53 - 63 is above average

Reading the mind in the eyes:

Your score: 32
A typical score is in the range 22-30. If you scored over 30, you are very accurate at decoding a person's facial expressions around their eyes. A score under 22 indicates you find this quite difficult.

Ahhhh, the i(eye)rony, since maintaining eye contact is so difficult, for me. What's hilarious is that I actually recognized many of the pairs of eyes - they're from photos of famous models (some of my faves, over the years).

Ooh, I shall have to try this when I get home. Stupid school filters. ><

Systemising: 27
Empathy: 10
"mind in the eyes"- 17 (I think I did this one before and did a lot worse on it than the result I got so woohoo!)
autism quotient: 38

Besides the systemising bit, I am a typical aspie.

Systemizing: 39
(most people with AS or HFA score 40-50)

Empathy: 19
(most people with AS or HFA score about 20)

Autism: 36
(most people AS or HFA score about 35)

Eyes reading: 25
A typical score is in the range 22-30

I had difficulty with the complex questions like when trying to decide how strongly to agree with *often* having difficulty deciding what to order in a restaurant. In my mind, how strongly I agree or disagree is related to the simple question of having difficulty, not to how *often* I might have difficulty! But, maybe that is one of the points of the test ...

Gender= Female (wasn't sure if anyone knew)

Systemizing= 36 avg

Empathy= 17 low

Autism Spectrum Quotient= 34 very high

Mind in the Eyes= 32 (did better than most)

^^ I really surprised myself here. I think I did so well because they actually gave me choices. I could go through the choices and figure out which absolutely didn't fit and then choose from there. If I just had to guess without choices, I would have done much worse.

Systemizing Quotient - 71 (wicked high, no surprise)
Empathy Quotient - 37 (not bad for an autistic person)
Autism Spectrum Quotient - 42 (deep into autistic territory)
Mind in the Eyes - 15 (can you say "clueless"?)

I just did the eyes one and I got 20 which is good because last time I took it a few months ago I only got 16.

53 on the systemization questions.
21 on the empathy questions

Haha, yes, if I actually looked at people's eyes IRL I'd apparently be ok at reading them!

I was worried that saying 'yes' to all the 'hurt animal' questions would make the empathy score too high, but apparently not. Guess I'm a stone cold human hater so much it compensated. (not really)
