Systemizing Quotient
Your score: 56
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 Quotient
Your score: 45
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

Autism Spectrum Quotient
Your score: 23
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

Eyes Test
Your score: 27
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.


Curiously, I recently read an article that Japanese culture more highly values the ability to read an emotion strictly from the eyes, while Western culture concentrates on the mouth. This leads to, among other things, the difference in emoticons.... :) vs. ^_^ Westerners keep the eyes the same, generally, and alter the mouth, while Japanese keep the mouth minimized and alter the eyes.

Weird. I'd've guessed a higher empathy quotient and a lower eyes score.

Systemizing: 64
Empathy: 14 (Apparently, I really *am* an asshole.)
Autism: 23
Eyes: 26 (But a fairly perceptive one.)

Actually, I've had people tell me on a couple of occasions that I'm thoughtless and inconsiderate because of something I've said or done. I don't think they appreciated it when I told them I actually had thought about it, and had considered the effect on other people, but just decided I didn't care. One time I'd just said something irreverent to my mom, and a third party took me to task for it. I told her, "If I hadn't been considering it, could I have come up with exactly the most annoying thing possible to say? I don't think so." Mom laughed at that, but the third party started to avoid me thereafter. Cool by me. :)
