Well, it did actually confirm the fact that I have AS.
The Brain Type System: How Well Does Your Brain Fit?
Click For Summary
The discussion centers around a test designed to categorize individuals based on their empathizing (E) and systemizing (S) abilities. Participants share their scores, with many noting average scores for women and men, and discussing how these relate to traits associated with Asperger Syndrome. There is skepticism about the accuracy of the test and its implications, particularly regarding how individual differences in thinking styles—such as a focus on processes versus comparisons—might affect scores. Participants express frustration with the test's format, including the lack of neutral options and readability issues. The conversation also touches on cultural influences on thinking styles and the potential advantages of certain cognitive styles in specific job roles. Overall, the thread reflects a blend of personal experiences, critical analysis of the test, and broader reflections on cognitive diversity.

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?
