Emotional Quotient.

[CCitizen]

Guardian calls it Empathy Quotient. That is not really the case -- EQ is an ability to fit into Society.

On average, most women score about 47 and most men about 42. Most people with Asperger Syndrome or high-functioning autism score about 20.

0-32 = You have a lower than average ability for understanding how other people feel and responding appropriately.


33-52 = You have an average ability for understanding how other people feel and responding appropriately. You know how to treat people with care and sensitivity.


53-63 = You have an above average ability for understanding how other people feel and responding appropriately. You know how to treat people with care and sensitivity.


64-80 = You have a very high ability for understanding how other people feel and responding appropriately. You know how to treat people with care and sensitivity.


Once you have both your EQ and SQ, go here to work out what type of brain you have.

I do not fit into Society and do not really want to!

Thank you again for sharing your shortcomings with me. I have put in just under 7 hours so far today in the office. Maybe I also don't fit into society?

I do not view not fitting into Society as a shortcoming.

Are you back into the “woe is me” mode?

There are many ways to view the above scoring, and to claim Men are lesser human beings is one of them.

However, I think the real target is being the unique individual rather than the sympathetic conformist trying to please everyone around them, and contributing nothing to society they don't already have in abundance!

No doubt many of our great thinkers, scientists, inventors, artists, ect.....would score very low!

That's a valid point; sometimes not fitting into a particular society is the right, rational and perhaps even moral thing to do.

I would say it is more a fact of life.

You can argue about God or the Natural World, but that is what happens on occasion and sometimes to the benefit of the many. But I don't see that as a purpose.

This is a new acceptable prejudice.

But there is also an old unacceptable prejudice against Aspies -- we score on average 20 below "normal" men at 42 and "normal" women at 47.

Thank you! My point is not that as an Aspie I should be treated with more "understanding" then Normies.

My point is that as a Asocial Aspie I am as needed to Society as a Lawyer, Doctor, or an Entrepreneur. A Lawyer Law. A Doctor cures illness. An Entrepreneur works for Economy. An Antisocial Aspie points out Society's acceptable biases and injustices.
