Empathy Quotient

FoxEye said:
I don't believe that your personality can be deduced via a questionnaire. No matter how searching the questions.

I am more than a score on my report card. I am a special *********. A unique individual. There is nobody like me.

Which you should all be extremely grateful for. No, that's not right. "For which you should be extremely grateful."

I dunno... my employer once paid for what I'm sure was a very expensive personality test - I still have a 20 page analysis of myself they sent back and it was pretty freaky how accurate it was and I'm mega dubious of these things.

"Nitefly - you are personality type X2c; you like this, hate this, enjoy eating y and love sexual position z" *hides from colleagues* :eek:
 
29,

I like animals more then people, but don't like socialising with peripheral friends, but do with people im close to
Im pretty good at seeing if people are upset or not, especially if it's someone im close to,
But equally (what dragged it down a lot) is that I think people should be strong enough not to take what others say to heart.
 
Your Empathy Quotient score was 8 out of a possible 80.
Scores of 30 or less indicate a lack of empathy common in people with Autism or Asperger’s Syndrome.

I consider it a good score, I answered it honestly. You can be a good human being with a low empathy score. Offense is taken it is not given, people choose to be offended by things in this world in the same way people choose to have dumbass tattoos or piercings all over their bodies & faces and get offended when people stare/comment. People don't choose their sexuality or skin colour.

I have little time for people who are not willing to help themselves or expect others to do everything for them.

Hmm 44 is probably about right as although I don't much like people or social situations I do try and think about others and not just what's best/easy for me.
 
Some of the questions are really subjective, like this one:

28. If anyone asked me if I liked their haircut, I would reply truthfully, even if I didn’t like it.

If it was a close friend etc then i'm more likely to give my honest opinion. But if it's someone like your partners uncle whom you've only met once, then i'd be more inclined to lie.

I got 32/80.

What is this position "z" you speak of?

Then that's why you slightly disagree or agree
 
37/100 and I have always been the person people turn to for advice and support. I think my current state of being may reflect on that and the score, although I am mostly the same person I am more centred towards my immediate family (wife and kids).

A company professional test once classified me as empathetic and a social loner, which did actually make sense a broader sense :p.

But the question is a true/false type question.

"If *anyone* asks you..."

So, if there are exceptions (for people or circumstances), then the answer is no.

What the heck does "slightly disagree" mean, anyhow?

Is that like "mostly true", "partially successful".

It's either true or false, you can't have "slightly true" or "a little false".

e: Meh, took a look at the questions, and as normal (for a free online test), many questions were overly broad and could not be answered with a simple "Yes (all the time)" or "No (all the time)". Life is more nuanced than that.

So either you re-interpret the question before selecting your answer, or you choose an answer that doesn't best fit your real response.

It's meaningless crap, in my view. Not going to bother sharing the score it gave me. A machine scoring a human on multiple choice answers to a very limited selection of questions is an exercise in garbage data generation.

This response alone tells me that you got less than 30.

Confirm / deny?
