Or what if you know you don't have a normal way of interacting with other people and that you sometimes miss nuances of etiquette but you still enjoy socializing and are usually well-received? <br /><br /> It sounds more like a question for sorting introverts from extroverts to *me.* <br /><br /> (Also, congratulations on getting baptized, dude.)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466691337834051176.post-13538243315600777472011-01-03T17:42:23.999-05:002011-01-03T17:42:23.999-05:00I forgot to say 2 things.

SBC has said that you can tell autistic people lack empathy because they score low on the EQ test, AND that you can tell the EQ test is valid because autistic people score low.<br /><br />I may be slightly obsessed with the EQ and know far too much about it.Zoehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11415989880473044852noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466691337834051176.post-9922407237985351612011-01-03T17:19:42.905-05:002011-01-03T17:19:42.905-05:00The questions you italicized are the filler questi...The questions you italicized are the filler questions. I just tried to look up the scoring for the EQ test and I couldn't get access to it at home, but when you're back at college you'll probably be able to find it on the internet.<br /><br />There's some reason that psych questionnaires have to have filler questions -- I forget why, but anyway, those are legit. It's the non-filler questions that I find weird. I actually found it pretty offensive that Baron-Cohen would put "I find it easy to tell when someone is masking their true emotions" in the same questionnaire as "It upsets me to see an animal in pain." Because, how the hell are those the same thing?<br /><br />You're right about social situations too -- I feel very comfortable spending time with my friends or (usually) my family, but I think SBC would still say I'm uncomfortable in social situations? Basically, he bothers me.Zoehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11415989880473044852noreply@blogger.com
