Post #87 - Autism Research Project - AQ, EQ and SQ scores

I received an email from my local NAS branch inviting those with autism (or a child/relative with the condition) to volunteer their services to assist with a research project, so I did exactly that.  Part of the registration process was re-doing the AQ, EQ and SQ tests which I completed back in 2015.  I don't mind sharing my results, which are as follows:

AQ (Autism Quotent) - Score: 43/50 (men usually score about 17 and women score about 15) 32-50 is a very high score.  

This questionnaire measures the number of autistic traits an individual has.  The higher your score, the more traits you have.  The maximum score is 50.

EQ (Empathy Quotent) - Score: 18/80 (men usually score about 42 and women score about 47.  0-32 is a low score.

This questionnaire measures empathising.  Empathising refers to the ability to identify and respond appropriately to another person's thoughts and feelings. The higher your score, the more empathetic you are.  The maximum score is 80.  

SQ (Systemising Quotent) - Score: 88/160 (men usually score about 64 and women about 54) 79-99 is a high score.

This questionnaire measures systemising.  Systemising is the drive to understand the rules governing the behaviour of a system and the drive to construct lawful systems.  The higher your score, the better at systemising you are.  The maximum score is 160.  

Rightio - I'm still autistic then!?

    Hi there. Long time no see. Nice to see you still do your blog. I abondoned mine sometime ago but I hope to get back into the swing. I think I get writers block and probably due to the fear of making mistakes which I know is daft, but I always feel like I'm watching myself, watching myself, watching myself (like an echo really) and the self conciousness blocks me up! Hope you are ok. I shall have a read back of your posts and make some comments. :)

    Hey there too! I know what you mean about writer's block - I often suffer from it, as I do with my dilly dallying about practising my keyboard skills.
