Just got to thinking again...

I remember the first time I took the AQ test. I got a fairly low score, something like 33 or 34. My mother, she thought I must've exaggerated, there was no way my score was actually so high. So she decided that she and Jenn would help me take this test, and prove that I really should've gotten a lower score.

With their expert help, I scored higher. I don't remember the exact number, but it was closer to 37. *laughs* That's where I tend to hover every time I remember about this test and take it again.

Let's see what my results are this time... AQ test

Your score: 40
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

Just for fun, I'll take the other tests too. Let's see... Empathy Quotient

Your score: 9
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

0.0

I wasn't expecting that....

Systemizing Quotient

Your score: 20
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

Now, *that* was unexpected. I'm on the low end of average, instead of the high.

I hate the eyes test, so I'm not taking that one.

Yes, this is boring. Sorry. *wanders off again*

Oh, and your empathy score is LOW kiddo. Maybe, just *maybe* you might want to work on that just a *little*??? Not, say, Dalai Lama level empathy, just a smidge closer to average?

If I do, will I be able to sense people's emotions like Deanna Troi?

That would be Dalai Lama level, sorry. :-p Years, nay decades, of training required.

Hmph. Hardly worth it.

I certainly care what people are feeling, I answered all those... um... correctly.
