Frankly, some things about these texts struck me as rather inaccurate.
The questions in the EQ test seemed to fall into two distinct categories: those related to social awareness (at which I did poorly) and those related to actual empathy (at which I did quite well). While the two may be related they are NOT one and the same thing. Not being able to read someone's facial expression or not knowing what to do in a social situation, or, for that matter, getting too wrapped up in a topic of interest is just not the same as having little emotion or not being unable to feel for someone who is in trouble. I'm not sure such things should be lumped in together.
Some of the SQ questions were of no relevance to me simply because they were not part of the subjects I am interested in. I have no idea about how legal or political procedures take place and have no intention to find out, but if most of the questions were about animals and nature, I am sure I would have had a much higher systemizing score. Besides, I'm not at all sure that systemizing using abstract categories (which I do very little) and visualizing the structure or details of things (which I do most of the time) are one and the same phenomenon; but, again, this test seems to equate them and puts them all together.
Some questions were structured in such a way that I wished there was a "not sure/can't say" option, for instance, the one about the committees and others like that. As far as I know, this is the first time that I come across anything about committee structure altogether, so I simply had no idea what to reply. Some questions were just vague, and again I wasn't sure how to answer them.
It just feels like another way of making sweeping statements about people to me.
