Systemizing/Empathy test

[pjoa09]

29 for eyes
31 for autism
14 for empathy
42 for systemizing

Eyes were pretty easy actually.

I guess it makes up for apathy.

Around 30 seems to be the norm for the mind in the eye test.

How did you guys figure out the emotion? Did you just look and get a feel for what they were feeling, or did you logically connect particular cues and physical signs to the emotions, and deduce the answer that fit best? e.g. they are looking off to the side, which implies... the eye lid/eye brow are making this shape which implies...

I would imagine INTPs to be good at logically deducing the emotion in one's eyes, especially in the multiple choice format like that.

That's pretty much how I did it. If they squinted their eyes, I usually thought they were angry or frustrated. If they looked off to the side, I thought they were worried or anxious. If they looked down, I thought they were ashamed.

Just as I suspected. I imagine others will say similar things.

I got 28, which seems to be the mode score here, but I didn't do it this way at all - about halfway through I realised that I could be doing this, but I didn't have much of an idea of what cue meant what. Rather, I was going completely off how the eyes felt to me. There were a number where I couldn't really get a good feel, and so picked moreorless randomly.

I forgot to check which ones I got wrong; perhaps we could get some interesting results by seeing which ones different people found to be the hardest.

I don't think there's a way to find out which you got wrong or right. I think it just gives a numerical score at the end, and that's it.

it does list what you got wrong in the eyes test.

LOL for the Systems test I got 17 = low; average for women: 24, average for men: 30.

Empathy score = 36, only just in average range. I feel that most of the apparent non-empathy is related to having a hard time socialising, and being overly absorbed in what it is I'm thinking about (as opposed to not being able to pick up on feelings).

Those tests suck dick. I think they just picked questions that typical males tend to score higher in, then ones which females tend to score higher in, and then attached the labels "Systemising" and "Empathy".

I'm surprised so many of us seem to get low Systemizing Quotient scores. Those seemed like very INTP traits. Don't most of you want to know the name of the plant you are looking at or how a machine works? I figured everybody wanted to know the details of an important purchase such as engine power on their car and HDD capacities on their computer.

Sure they seem like INTP traits. "Learning" new stuff. But personally I said no to the names of the plants. Why? Because I don't give a crap about plants. But the computer I said yes because I want a good computer. Car? I said no because again, I don't really care about cars.

I think most of us answered like that. You know, systemizing what we're interested in.

Empathy Quotient 38 (Low) <---I refuse to believe this one. A lot of those questions involved emotional intelligence more than empathy. Once I know somebody is sad I feel for them. I just have trouble figuring it out at first is all.

I'm not exactly sure what 'emotional intelligence' is supposed to be. But I get your point. And I do think a lot of them were about empathy. About 'relating'.

And personally I'm quite the opposite of you I can (for the most parts) see whatever it is that's going on, emotionally. I just kind of don't care.
There are moments, that are are though. Where I'm completely oblivious.

@ OP - My results were like this;

Systemizing Score: 31
Empathy Score: 15
Autism Score: Didn't bother
Eye Reading Score: 26

I found a question in the systemizing test funny. "When I'm in a plane, I do not think about the aerodynamics." I was like "God no! I don't think about the fucking aerodynamics. I think about dying!"

 

[Artsu Tharaz]

Empathy- 7 [(Maybe I'm taking it wrong?) Most of the time I tend to think I know what a person is thinking/feeling but I am almost always proven wrong.]
Systemizing- 28 (a lot of this stuff I have no experience in)
Autism Spectrum- 28
Mind in the Eyes- 23

You're too honest. Don't you know you're supposed to answer test questions according to how you wish you were, not how things actually are?

I think most of us answered like that. You know, systemizing what we're interested in.

And a lot of the things it listed were more "typical" interests. Someone with more abstract interests, or simply a narrower range of interests, will score low in it, even if they spend 90% of their time making systemising their thoughts.

And for the empathy one, someone who doesn't spend much time socialising will score low, regardless of how empathetic they are.

So the test is basically: how many interests do you have that might relate to systems? how many different things do you do which might relate to empathy?

 

[Jah]

Systemizing: 50 (above average, almost very high.)
Empathy: 24 (low, almost asperger-range)
Autism: 21 (average)
Eyes: 30 (above average)

Pretty much, yes.

Systemizing: 56
Empathy: 20 (wut...)
Eyes: 31
Didn't bother with Autism.

Nah same here, with the Autism one. I don't understand your confusion with the Empathy score, it's not like INTPs are known for empathy. Besides, your score is not very low compared to a lot of others, including myself.

I think those few that got like 3 or 5 were forcing the 'apathy' into the test. You know saying no to everything that was emotional.
10-20 seems like the average though.

 

[Starfishtea]

Systemizing: 36.
Empathy: 1.
Autism: 28.
Eyes: 31.

I think I must have misunderstood something on the Empathy quotient test o.o

 

[Dimensional Transition]

Systemizing: 26 (Average)
Empathy: 27(Kind of disappointing, I thought I was more empathic.)
Autism: 20(Just slightly above average)
Eyes: 29(I over-thought a few... The ones I got wrong turned out to be the ones I first thought they were.)

 

[Lobstrich]

Empathy: 27(Kind of disappointing, I thought I was more empathic.)

Disappointing, how?

 

[Trebuchet]

Systemizing: 58 very high (it says almost no women score in this range)
Empathy: 43 average
Autism: 28 above average
Eyes: 31 very accurate

I wonder how it varies with age. I am certain my scores would have been much different when I was younger. But they didn't ask that.

 

[Cerul]

Systemizing: 35
Empathy: 24
Autism: 29
Eyes: 23

Appears I got rather low scores.

Same =_=
