What is you empathy level?

50, although some of the questions I found difficult to answer.

So you're aware you tick people off.

I value your opinion and genuinely care about your feelings. Now **** off!

Seriously though I answered for my real self as opposed to my forum persona. I am actually a bit less annoying in real life. A bit.

8. But the consensus among my imaginary friends is that I'm quite a nice chap really, so you lot can just piss off.

41...............and I think thought I am reasonably 'in touch' with what others are feeling.

Oh well. Back to the drawing board.

15, well its not the lowest and there is NO Aspergers in the family, its just that I don't like people!

What does it say about my empathy level if I couldn't be bothered any more after about 7 questions?

You did better than me Arch, Question two was one too far. Total waste of time.

66. Answering honestly. I then went through it again and got nearer 0 and 80 by answering in a way that I knew would get me certain outcomes - it's pretty easy to game the test (which of course is what a psychopath would do). How do you know I didn't unconsciously do that the first time around, but tone it down a bit so as not to seem too good. You don't. Badly designed, pointless test.

Lighten up, its a bit of fun.

Can you pick up on other peoples feelings? Well, yes, if I manage to dodge the first brick then I'm aware they're pissed off.

They are difficult questions to answer with any degree of objectivity or accuracy though. I found myself more-or-less guessing at answers because I genuinely had no idea if other folk where more or less x than I, and so I can't honestly judge my levels. Equally, I change. I can be more x at some times that at others. Sometimes I decide to listen, sometimes I switch off. How do I gauge my average/median/whatever level?

It's simply easier to say I'm an arse! Or a saint, whatever.

Clearly you wouldn't score well in detecting irony and dry humour...

29. Though I thinks it helps in my job to be able to be emotionally unattached sometimes!

Very good...mind I hadn't spotted it either.

 

[MissTillyFlop]

64. So I am a good guy.

I'll bet you're sat there watching Bridget Jones' Diary with a box of Kleenex, as we speak.

 

[Archie_tect]

Don't! -just... don't.

 

[slowmotion]

31, and I don't give a stuff. I never liked you lot anyway...
