I was digging through the archives looking for this thread the other day. I was sure I had posted to it before. Apparently not.
Anyhow, I know many of us here have been prodded and probed for possible autism traits and derided for lacking empathy, so I thought it might be fun to bump this thread for some of the newer members.

Score: 39
http://glennrowe.net/BaronCohen/Empathy ... tient.aspxEQ
Your score: 16
0 - 32 = low (most people with Asperger Syndrome or high-functioning autism score about 20)
33 - 52 = average (most women score about 47 and most men score about 42)
53 - 63 is above average
64 - 80 is very high
80 is maximum
I'm blaming the test designers for my low score. I think my empathy is actually much better than this score indicates.
(I do admit that I generally score abysmally on these EQ tests, though.)
