Empathising Quotient and Systemising Quotient (EQ SQ) tests

Post Reply New Topic

This test reminds me far too much of the rather ridiculous one-size-fits-all MMPI tests which have been present on every neuropsych eval i've taken.

As if EVERY "systemizer" must be fascinated with freeways, train timetables, etc....or they'll lose "SQ" points.

Ditto for questions on the "EQ" test.

Why is it that the designers can't include "not applicable" on these sort of tests?


No offense to the OP....but I just can't tests like this very seriously.


Nonetheless...I was pretty sure my SQ was substantially higher than my EQ long before taking this test.


My results here simply provide "objective confirmation"......NOT!! !!

Your Systemizing (SQ) and Empathizing (EQ) Quotient Test Results

Click here to share your EQ SQ scores on your blog.


Respondent Average EQ Average SQ Brain Type
Males 39.0 61.2 Systemizing
Females 48.0 51.7 Empathizing
Your Score 21 63 Extreme Systemizing

What does your score mean?

Generally, the higher the score the greater your natural ability for that trait. However, the EQ test has 40 questions compared to 75 in the SQ test. As a result, although the unprocessed quotients may be used for comparing each trait ability between individuals, the absolute scores do not tell an individual if he or she has a greater tendency to empathize or systemize. A calculation taking into account the quantity of questions in each test is used to determine a person's brain type along the following continuum:

•Extreme Empathizing (Extreme E)
•Empathizing (E)
•Balanced (B)
•Systemizing (S)
•Extreme Systemizing (Extreme S)
Brain Types of Experimental Control Groups
Respondent Extreme E E Balanced S Extreme S
Males 0% 17% 31% 46% 6%
Females 7% 47% 32% 14% 0%

The important factor to consider is not your absolute score, but the difference between the two. This indicates whether you have more natural ability as an Empathizer or a Systemizer. If your scores are about the same for your EQ and SQ, then you have well balanced empathizing-systemizing capabilities.

It's a good thing that I do not care about most things which were in the SQ test and care about friends and animals because I am still "extreme S".
EQ : 23
SQ : 71

EQ: 38 and SQ: 64. I was furious after doing the EQ portion at myself for scoring so low.

The SQ portion frustrated me because well some of these questions... I do sort my collections... to me they're perfectly organized and I can find anything immediately. My system is purely emotional though, I can explain it, but without knowing how I feel about a movie you can't find anything as fast as I can in there. It's one of those questions that, should that count towards systematizing, or should that count against it? It feels like it should count against it, yet the organization is so good if I see an empty spot I immediately know which item out of 400+ is missing.

EQ=17 SQ=75

Some questions are rather irrelevant.. For example I've only been on trains a couple of times in my life so I havn't had a chance to become obsessed with their rails and timetables

Your Aspie score: 155 of 200
Your neurotypical (non-autistic) score: 57 of 200
You are very likely an Aspie

I've taken this test a number of times, and have always scored as Extreme S.
The last time I took it, which was around two or three weeks ago, my EQ was 23 and my SQ was 77.

OK, I answered every question truthfully, and I scored 52 on the EQ test. Very high for an Aspie. And for the SQ test I scored 30.

EQ 3, SQ 101

Extreme Systemising - just cottened on to this AS thing, would explain alot about my life. I like the quote 'You don't suffer from Aspergers, you suffer from other people'

EQ 7
SQ 36
Extreme Systemizing

I'm not particularly good at either(both below average, apparently). But then again, I don't relate to either mindset. I don't really have much social experience, I've spent my whole life somewhat separate from others. I remember spending my preschool years watching the other kids play.

As for systemizing, I don't have much interest in it. I'm only organized superficially. I'm a poor planner and am even worse in execution.

My wife just took the test and scored Extreme Empathiser. No wonder it's been like living in an episode of Tom & Jerry for 12 years. I said that I could read her like a book - Unfortunately it's written in Japanese, It's about Flower Arranging and there are no pictures. going to now spend sometime trying to figure each other out

I am going to predict that I'm a little of both as I know I have traits of both....am guessing that the ASD individual would have a low EQ and high SQ. The younger me would have had a very high SQ as she was obsessed with the systems, categories and details of everything.

(I laughed at question 30 as it talks about airline logos and flags of the world...those were my special interests around age 5-6! Bahahaha!)

Final results:
EQ - 49 SQ - 52
B- Balanced

What type of test consists of just asking if you how strongly you agree with various statements about yourself? That's hardly a test at all. I don't want to judge myself as I feel I won't give the proper answers and the results won't be accurate.

wonderful, looks like i'm all-around stupid.



(since the original link wouldn't load i used this test)

EQ: 10
SQ: 32 (This effing HAS to be broken!)
