Anybody else score higher on EQ than SQ?

Post Reply New Topic

Is anyone else on the spectrum and have an Empathizing Quotient (EQ) score higher than their Systemizing Quotient (SQ)? and how you think that effects your autism.

I got a formal aspergers diagnosis earlier this year and I’m still learning about my autism. I’m becoming more familiar with one of the theories about ASD which seems to say autism is associated with a systemizing brain (analysing and construct systems) rather than an empathizing brain (understanding the thoughts and feelings of others).

Looking at an old post, this seems to be typically true in WP members (people overwhelmingly reported SQ higher than EQ):

I feel like a bit of a freak cause I scored the opposite.
EQ - Higher than average
SQ - below average

Statistically this makes me an outlier. I was wondering if there are any other EQ>SQ outliers like me and how you think that effects how your autism presents. For me I think this means I'm sensitive to the emotions of others and I'm told I'm a great listener, but I still have a very hard time identifying what I'm feeling myself. I am very systemizing in my area of interest, but am very disorganised in most other areas of my life.

I did. My EQ was relatively high, while my SQ was rather low. I am not very technologically savvy, which accounted for the low SQ score.

Both my EQ and SQ were lower than average .

I can 'attain' lower SQ and higher EQ. Which is more or less had been the case nowadays.

Same with higher SQ and lower EQ. Which dominated most of my childhood and teen years.

Both can be better or worse... For now it's on a 'worse' scale.
It's just this, within a certain timespan and situation.
