EQ/SQ test

Meet Lumina, with the extreme systemizing brain.

EQ - 13

SQ - 84

9 EQ
116 SQ

Extreme Systemizing (no surprise there)

That is too weird; it's the first time that I have any thing like an objective test at hand to measure the effects of excluding gluten ( in wheat etc ) and casein ( in dairy) from my diet in all the 15 years of going on exclusion diets!! .

On 30 th October 2007 my scores were :
EQ 13
SQ 73

Today, after over 4 weeks gluten free and at least 2 weeks dairy free my scores are :
EQ 52
SQ 53

It only occurred to me to try it today because of reading Baron-Cohen's book " The Essential Difference", and wanting to check back on what exactly is measured by the two quotients, systemising and empathising.
And still not too sure isn't one great big revamp of sexist attitudes oddly enough, but that's another story.
The change since stopped eating wheat and dairy is amazing!!
WOW!!

Took this again. In another topic, I reported my score from another SQ/EQ test.

On this test:

EQ: 17
SQ: 89

Extreme Systemizing



Has anyone noticed that the SQ score average of this test is about double that of the average value presented in the study in this link below?

EQ= 8
SQ= 86
Sally = Extreme systemizing
but according to the table 0% of females are extreme systemizing, so do i not count?!

You're just not in their control group.

EQ 11
SQ 90
Extreme Systemising

Ugh, I felt like I had to fudge my answers for a lot of that, because the questions were too broad (hate Chess, like Games Workshop, yet as types of games they were grouped together - but Chess is a memory game and not strategy, anyway). Anyhow, my numbers came out as:

EQ: 16
SQ: 69

Extreme Systemising. I'm not sure how useful the test is - it's really... I'll systemise stuff I'm interested in, but there were a lot of questions where, well, I just don't care enough about many of the subjects in the systemising test, and a number of organisational questions that I think of as social tasks (organising a business? No, thanks, but mostly because of having to deal with others, not the organisational aspect). I'm not sure about my EQ answers, either - since I started reading about AS, and talking to my wife, I've been realising that I'm far less socially able than I thought I was, so how accurate my own answers are I don't know.

EQ 13
SQ 99

These things do have a habit of flitting between the negative and positive. The idea I think is to ensure you read the question, but I still wish they kept each question in the same orientation.

EQ: 37
SQ: 77

EQ 26
SQ 26

Wow the same score!

EQ: 15
SQ: 94
= "Extreme Systemizing"

I had the same thoughts as I was taking the tests.

EQ-23
SQ-43

EQ = 27
SQ = 51

brain type: Systemizing

sooo.. that would mean my EQ score reflect that of a 12 year old... and my SQ score reflects that of a 21 year old (which means, my SQ was normal.. )

MMaestro, exactly!

I scored EQ = 11
SQ = 66

Extreme systemising.

But like you, a lot of the systemising questions I answered no to because I'm just not interested in those subjects, and some of the others, such as the organising social functions & managing finances, were because of my executive dysfunction rather than a lack of interest, i.e. the reason I don't check off my spending against my bank statement is because my system for doing it is just too complicated to maintain on a day-to-day basis & I can't usually find the damn things amongst all the chaos - but I do have the desire to do it!

EQ - 13
SQ - 92

I found the EQ ones hard to answer because I don't know whether or not I can read people unless I ask them, which I have never done.
In the SQ questions I tended to go to the extremes. I couldn't name my top ten books because I don't have ten books that I prefer over others. The same for songs. But I could name ten songs, album titles, artists and possibly year of release that I liked. Perhaps I took the questions too literally.
