You have one of the lowest empathy scores I have ever seen, you have fairly typical aspie scores apart from that. More aspies seem to score in the teens for empathy.

I'm female and here are my scores:
Empathy Quotient - 7 (typical for women is around 42)
Systemising Quotient - 69 (typical for women is around 24)
Autistic Spectrum Quotient - 47
Mind in the Eyes Test - 5

Empathy Quotient -8
Systemising Quotient - 60
Autistic Spectrum Quotient - 44
Mind in the Eyes Test 22
was shocked at the last one; didn't think I'd do that well. A lot of them though didn't have the option I wanted to give so I had to pick from the options given. I know I don't spend enough time looking at peoples faces so perhaps I should start and it would help me with the social stuff: most of the time I've no idea what's going on.

I've noticed, from other Aspies taking the Eyes Test, that it's not a very reliable indicator of being able to read nonverbal cues other than somebody who has 0 capability in this area. Most Aspies have a ranging ability to read nonverbal cues. For most of us, it's definitely an ability which falls below the average range, but we do have some ability to read cues when we pay attention to them.
We also have the gift of logic, and creating a multiple choice test in which the person might have difficulty naming the exact emotion but has a general idea of at least \"good/happy emotion\" and \"upset/angered/bad emotion\", the test is fairly easy to score within the average range or even above average.
My scores:
AQ: usually between 46-48
EQ: last scored 9
SQ: last scored 58
Eye Test: 31 (but I rarely actually look at peoples' eyes, so...)
Btw, did anybody recognize the eyes of GW Bush (#13), Keanu Reeves(#23), and Paul Newman(#36)?

Empathy 8
Systemizing 78
AS 41
Mind in the Eyes 8
I didn't like the eye test; I hate making eye contact. All my scores are well with in the Asperger range (esp. the systemizing test where I was only two points away from a perfect score).

Okay, so from the lack of responses, I'm assuming nobody recognized GW Bush, Keanu Reeves, or Paul Newman from that eyes test?...

No, I just recognized them. I'm good with faces (and bits of them). :smile:

I got :
Systemizing - 53
Empathy - 16
AS - 37
Mind/eyes - 30
The high average score I got on mind/eyes really surprised me; I must be picking up more signals from eyes than I previously thought! I was guessing at a lot of the eyes one; they still just looked like blank holes in the face to me.

AQ - 35 (max. poss. score 50, AS higher end)
SQ - 40 (max. poss. score 80, AS higher end)
EQ - done 3 times, varies from around 10 to around 30, I think this test is influenced by interpretation and mood. Max poss. score 80, AS lower end)
I scored more male than the average man in all of these tests, to my great amusement!
Eyes Test - 30 (max. poss. score 36, "typical" score range of 22-30)
Friendship Quotient - 59, (average score for a female with AS)
With the eyes test I thought most of the expressions looked like models posing or actors acting. They looked like a bunch of drama queens. I think I picked Tom Cruise, Mel Gibson and Brooke Shields and some other appalling celebrities from the 80s. I think the test may have been made from photos from ancient gossip magazines.

Does this make anyone else feel like they are comparing test results at school again. I hate that feeling. I wasn't good at school. Suprisingly much better at uni. Of course I had gone to night school in the meantime and learned how to better read and write. The fact I had undiagnosed dyslexia until 22 didn't help either (Then again I was diagnosed with Autism at 31 sooo...)
My scores were:
7 for Empathy
40 for Spectrum
16 for Mind in the eye
51 for systemising
At the end of the day I guess it is what I expected. Fairly indicative of Autism. No real suprises for me.

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?
I honestly think some Aspies only have subtle nonverbal reading issues. But then it's compounded by a dislike for reading the eyes and the face.
I always score within the normal range on the Eyes Test, as have other Aspies I've known online who've been dxed; however, I'm a crappy social multitasker (i.e., looking at a person AND listening, etc.) and so I'm very prone to not pay attention to nonverbal messages, especially the ones which aren't sudden or obvious.
It's like, I read eyes... when I want to. And on a test where my attention is focused, I perform average. IRL is another story. (Take into account too that those answers are multiple choice and so there's some prompting and leading.)
I think it's just showing that within the autie spectrum, there's another spectrum of the ability to read nonverbal cues. For some, even when multitasking and attention aren't an issue, they still score horribly. Whereas for people like me, I have difficulty with subtler reads, but then often miss other things simply because I'm not paying attention to the face.

"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)"
"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)"
Guess I'm rare because I'm a woman and scored 69 on the SQ and on the EQ I score 40 points lower than most women and 13 pts lower than most with AS/HFA. I'm just plain odd.

It appears in the time since my first post I have lost some ability to empathise and realised that I don't actually care about the aerodynamics of a plane so much. I seem to be just as autistic and I think the difference in the eyes test was due to the randomness of how I chose some answers due to not knowing them but having a guess anyway.
I do suspect the scoring of the SQ may have actually changed though - originally the "slightly agree/disagree" and "dis/agree" options were scored the same, e.g. even if you had "slightly" agreed to everything it counted the same as if you had fully agree. That obviously affects scoring and in that particular SQ test I scored lower than I had done in the past too.
