Well, it did actually confirm the fact that I have AS.
The Brain Type System: How Well Does Your Brain Fit?
Click For Summary
Discussion Overview
The discussion revolves around the Brain Type System, particularly focusing on how individuals fit into the categories of E (Empathizing) and S (Systemizing) based on self-assessment tests. Participants share their scores, reflect on their understanding of the concepts, and explore the implications of these types in relation to personal experiences and societal perceptions.
Discussion Character
- Exploratory
- Debate/contested
- Conceptual clarification
Main Points Raised
- Some participants express skepticism about the predictive power of the Brain Type System at the individual level, questioning the correlation between thought patterns and systemizing abilities.
- Others reflect on the differences between E and S types, suggesting that E-types may focus on personal relationships while S-types may be more interested in analytical systems.
- Several participants discuss their test results and express confusion about the implications of scoring in certain ranges, particularly regarding the association of high systemizing scores with Asperger Syndrome.
- Some participants note difficulties in answering the test questions due to their format, leading to reflections on how different types may approach the rating scale differently.
- There are observations about how individuals may think differently, with some focusing on next steps and others on comparisons, linking this to broader concepts of analytic versus holistic thinking.
Areas of Agreement / Disagreement
Participants do not reach a consensus on the implications of the Brain Type System, with multiple competing views on its validity and the interpretation of test results. There is also uncertainty regarding the relationship between brain types and conditions like Asperger Syndrome.
Contextual Notes
Participants express limitations in understanding the definitions of E and S, and there are unresolved questions about the implications of scoring in certain ranges, particularly concerning societal perceptions of mental health and cognitive styles.
Who May Find This Useful
Individuals interested in psychology, cognitive science, and personality assessments may find this discussion relevant, particularly those exploring the implications of different cognitive styles and their societal interpretations.

i do not have the patience to answer all those stupid repetitive questions, which pretty much tells you my score.
and i thought the thread title meant does it fit in my skull.

I scored a 21-44, extreme S.
I think it's somewhat of a good sign that none of the individuals with extremely high S forgot to specify their sex. On the other hand, a few of the individuals supposedly good at analyzing and exploring a system overlooked some significant details of the poll. (Oh, please, please, please don't tell me Astronuc is really the bearded lady.)

Bob, you forgot an important detail. You check the last box only if you were born a male. So apparently a few of the members here have changed their sex since they were born.

I got E32 and S42, but I disagree with the E32.
I empathize all the time but some of those questions were borderline so I didn't know what to choose. So, when I took the S test, I was more aggressive with my answers, and I got basically what I would have got. I did not read the articles before hand.

Is it just me or are the questions displayed in 11 Angstrom type?
