The closest here is one of my aunts, who is EXTREMELY into organization and cleansliness. Though, we think she's just a little crazy. Paternal side, my dad and one uncle are like me, but nowhere near as much. I sent them a copy of this test and they came up Systemizing, but not extreme. My grandpa works with alot of electronics and owns a small buisness that wires control boards and such, but past that he's not really systemizing. Gave him the test and he comes up Balanced.

I've a feeling my brother, mother and father would all be more systematic than I am. My father's side of the family, with 12 aunts and uncles and dozens of cousins are all borderline nuts, and the empathy you would find there could fit on the head of a pin. No lefties. I also notice lefties, and I tend to notice they are less systematic, IMHO. Also, of our last four presidents, only one was right-handed, and of our last 9 presidental candidates, only 2 were right-handed! I would love to see their results on this test!

I'm not sure I can really classify them well on this scale, but I do think they are both probably more E than many of my family (certainly more than me, but I'm an extreme case).

The Foremost Intellectual Badass Posts: 3,893 Group: Map Makers Member #445 Joined: May 27, 2008	I'm a lefty, and my aunt (the one I said was crazy earlier) is as well. I don't think there's any past that. My brother is a learned ambidexterous. He was righty but whenever I came home from school in 1st grade, I taught him everything I learned that day. He saw me using my left hand and thought that was the correct way. He writes left handed but does everything else right handed. He can also switch whenever. Though I'm not going to reveal the results of his test for fear he might see this. (He's got really low numbers on both sides). Edited by Telosan, Feb 1 2009, 09:55 PM.

I try to be more empathizing a lot of the time, but then again this is just an online test. Edited by Ulgania, Feb 1 2009, 10:51 PM.

Well, I'm not the social retard my test results might make me seem ;) I've actually learned to be a lot more friendly and empathetic over the last several years, but it doesn't change how my brain functions, you know?

Well, it's still pretty narrow-minded I think. I consciously do a lot of systemizing activities. When you actively do them your ability to think or see other things in a logical way increases greatly. Hell, I even walk a certain way in public to be almost completely silent, just for kicks sometimes. This test is oriented towards what could be considered subconscious activity... I don't really approve.

I don't really approve. I don't understand why that is a problem. As I understand it, that is what the test is meant to study; if it is oriented towards its function, then is not that just and good?

I do a lot of them consciously, but would still have to answer the same way. I think it needs to take that factor into account.

Legitimist Posts: 12,945 Group: Admin Member #19 Joined: January 13, 2004	Ah, ok, I understand what you are saying. For me, my systemizing activities are both conscious and unconscious, while my empathizing activities are more conscious, and I think my categorization reflects that. I understand your criticism now though; I think you are right and the fact that this is an online test may play a role. It is probably not the actual clinical test used in research, and that test is probably more controlled for such factors.

Even if you consciously do an activity, that should reflect your subconscious tendencies. Someone who is more systematic would tend to consciously pursue more systematic activities because the conscious pursuit of those activities reflects his subconscious "comfort zone." Likewise someone who is not very systematic would not consciously pursue many systematic activities because the conscious pursuit of those activities would cause him subconscious discomfort or dissonance; incompatibility between conscious and subconscious.
