Empathy Quotient test - with poll

It seems there aren't many 'average' people in this thread. :beard:

That said, I retook the test and I came out 35 - maybe if I was to take it a third time I'd come out as below the normal level. :tongue:

Ooooh. Link me to that? :biggrin:

(Also, you can't know if you have autism just from a test like this - I realise you're probably joking, but it's a whole host of symptoms and isn't just characterised by social awkwardness :tongue:

)

I hope so :biggrin:

I mean, it just wouldn't be a gathering of maths children without at least a couple of people with weird dress sense and peculiar mannerisms. There better be some, or I'll feel most shortchanged :tongue:

(I met Marcus du Sautoy once and he had orange trousers :awesome:

)

Integers have the decency not to get all emotional on you - why can't people do the same? :tongue:

They're all here: http://glennrowe.net/BaronCohen.aspx :smile:

Haha, yeah I was just joking around. :tongue:

But I still think our wee Maths Camp-ers should do the test... Just to give an indication of if they're suitably Mathmo-like or not.

Orange trousers?! Wow. What a man... :awesome:

My best subject is maths, but I got 42. I better apply for some soft subject like english with a score like that :'(

66?!!

58... But some of the questions were weird and I ended up answering similar questions differently?

Edit: As usual I rate above average :wink:

50. Thought I would be higher! Guess it's nice to know I'm not overly sensitive though, sometimes it feels like it.

21. I know i'm a social retard but i do try and can definetly sense when i'm not wanted. I cant always sense when someone is making fun of me in a nice way. I don't have Autism or Asperges do i? I'm very smart and think a LOT and i know stuff people my age don't.

65. Perhaps this test should be used instead of the UKCAT. :rolleyes:

34 (male). I guess I can be a little socially awkward, so it doesn't really surprise me to get such a score.

I'm also a mathsy person by the way.

30, something is wrong though, because I'm a very emotional person.

14??!?!?!!!

Christ.

I've done these tests last year during a module of my degree and got a similar score.

How can anyone diagnose autism over an internet forum? Ask someone qualified.

49. I genuinely thought I'd be higher than that.....I even wrote the word 'empathetic' on my personal statement lol.

You mean, slightly read the question then pick a choice almost at random? :ahee:

49.. That'll do nicely :smug:

For those of you interested in reading more about empathy, Zero Degrees of Empathy
by Simon Baron-Cohen puts across some interesting points.
