This test has developed by Simon Baron-Cohen, director of the Autism Research Centre at the University of Cambridge.

His theory is that the female brain is predominantly hard-wired for empathy, and that the male brain is predominantly hard-wired for understanding and building systems. Simon Baron-Cohen calls this the empathising-systemising (E-S) theory.

Empathising is the drive to identify another person's emotions and thoughts, and to respond to these with an appropriate emotion. The empathiser intuitively figures out how people are feeling, and how to treat people with care and sensitivity.

Systemising is the drive to analyse and explore a system, to extract underlying rules that govern the behaviour of a system; and the drive to construct systems.

If you take the Systemizing Quotient (SQ) and Empathy Quotient (EQ) together, you can find out how "male" or "female" your brain is.

The Empathy Quotient (EQ) (Results)

Your Empathy Quotient is 44.

What your score means:

On average, most women score about 47 and most men about 42. Most people with Asperger Syndrome or high-functioning autism score about 20.

You have an average ability for understanding how other people feel and responding appropriately. You know how to treat people with care and sensitivity.

so I score more than men and less than women. i am a Hermaphrodite.

The Empathy Quotient (EQ) (Results)
Your Empathy Quotient is 60.

What your score means

On average, most women score about 47 and most men about 42. Most people with Asperger Syndrome or high-functioning autism score about 20.

You have an above average ability for understanding how other people feel and responding appropriately. You know how to treat people with care and sensitivity.

[vashti]

I might know how to treat people with care and sensitivity, but I don't always choose to online. lol

[Sonrisa]

wow Vash, 60 is pretty high you must be a good friend IRL

[Sonrisa]

are you going to continue to SQ test?

And yes, I'm a guy. Got a penis and everything. =P

And yes, I'm a guy. Got a penis and everything. =P

post pictures to prove it!

That would put me on the boarder between a Type-E brain and a Type-B brain.

"Yet other individuals are equally strong in their systemising and empathising. This is called the 'balanced brain', or a brain of type B."

"For some individuals, empathising is stronger than systemising. This is called the female brain, or a brain of type E."

Just google Looq's penis, I'm sure you can find something. =p (j/k)
