Systemising - 49
Empathy - um...6
Autism Spectrum - 45
Mind in the eyes - 33(I have to say, I hated the eyes. I hate looking at images of eyes and found it confusing, but it was pretty obvious as the expressions were clearly set up, and process of elimination works well indeed.
SQ: 34
EQ: 18
AQ: 44
Mind in eyes: 20.
All suggestive of Aspieness apart from the first one.
Hmm, have any officially diagnosed aspies taken this test and scored as normal on the mind in the eyes test? My mild aspergers ex, who also got a degree in psychology and only scored 15, says it is one of the most reliable measures for aspergers and autism. So where does that leave those of us who attain aspergers type scores on the other areas, but normal on the eyes test?
No problem. seems coherent to me. I found the test easy because the expressions were pretty strong... not subtle at all, and a process of elimination worked well. I studied the position of the eyebrows, which I found helped. I think once you have lived a good few years, and maybe had experience watching many films, showing many emotions, it does influence. That is why I do think this test an unreliable measure on its own.
My results were-
MITE: 18 (this test is very uncomfortable for me--and it did not have the answers I would have given on a lot of those eyes. I blame even getting an 18 on the eeniemeeniemineemo effect and process of elimination.)
ASQ: 32 (Go figure that one. I'm AspieliteTM, same great Aspie taste with less calories.)
EQ: 22 (bingo)
SQ: 52 (almost no women score this high, eh? I guess I'm also an exception...)
I found most of the pictures in the eyes test too blurry to work out what expression they were showing but don't know if this was done on purpose to make it trickier.
I was also surprised to see how low I scored on the systematising part of the test as I tend to be very interested in systems but then again, maths isn't my best subject.

Systemizing quotient
Your score: 48
0 - 19 = low
20 - 39 = average (most women score about 24 and most men score about 30)
40 - 50 = above average (most people with Asperger Syndrome or high-functioning autism score in this range)
51 - 80 is very high (three times as many people with Asperger Syndrome score in this range, compared to typical men, and almost no women score in this range)
80 is maximum
Empathy quotient
Your score: 10
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
Autism Spectrum quotient
Your score: 41
0 - 10 = low
11 - 22 = average (most women score about 15 and most men score about 17)
23 - 31 = above average
32 - 50 is very high (most people with Asperger Syndrome or high-functioning autism score about 35)
50 is maximum
Mind in the eyes
Your score: 11
A typical score is in the range 22-30. If you scored over 30,
you are very accurate at decoding a person's facial expressions
around their eyes. A score under 22 indicates you find this quite difficult.
It's kind of scary...

I am new to all this and I think that I'd better get a professional diagnosis. A frind of mine once told me that I might have aspergers but I didn't want to believe that I was different although I knew that I was. Maybe this is why I don't get along with people well? It could explain why I got a bad performance review and why I feel more comfortable alone.

I think my SQ 25 is quite on the money. But that figure is so opposite off the side were most aspies score.
It could be that I always clung to my mum when something was up, and now with her saying maybe she's on the spectrum herself, and I therefore learned her behavior. We're a bit alike me & ma.
She always says she'll never learn something new like mobile phone and sending short messages in text. Then she learns somehow...
systemizing-59
empathy-11
autism spectrum-41
eyes-25 but again I hardly ever look people in the eyes
Maybe the reason that some aspies score high on the eyes test is that we:
1.) dont look people in the eyes to begin with
2.) possibly can read eyes but not mouths/other parts of the face
3.) find it easier looking at a picture of the eyes than to look at an actuall person
Maybe so. I cannot believe I only got 6 on empathy. Never considered it that bad. That is low for a female.
