A former lurker has appeared...
AQ: 25-30
EQ: 12
AQ tests apparently tend to have a plethora of questions that I am ambivalent about and answering with bias to either way seems to skew the results. Behavioral things like taking note of my surroundings or paying enough attention to reading between the lines depends entirely on how awake I am, and / or whether or not I'm listening to music with my mind wandering in laa-laa-land, so I tried both ways and the results came up with that kind of variation.
Not sure what it is, but I've been able to identify expressions with a well above average score (for a male) on most tests and can usually read people pretty well, even if I can't relate to or give a flying squirrel about what they have to say. Basically, my EQ is somewhat inflated by answering truthfully to questions related to reading others.
On a side note, I haven't been "officially" diagnosed as schizoid and see no point what so ever in wasting my time talking to a shrink. As it stands, regardless of me identifying myself as a schizoid (of the languid kind,) most of the harm from my condition comes to others, what with them being more bothered by my cynicism, apparent grumpiness, lack of interests, empathy and what not than I am. Not that I couldn't put a mask on to avoid totally alienating the people I work and study with.
Procrastinating on going to bed and I think I forgot to eat dinner today...
