&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;0 - 32 = low (most people with Asperger Syndrome or high-functioning autism score about 20)&lt;br/&gt;33 - 52 = average (most women score about 47 and most men score about 42)&lt;br/&gt;53 - 63 is above average&lt;br/&gt;64 - 80 is very high&lt;br/&gt;80 is maximum&lt;span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Your score: 15 &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Your score: 28&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;what the actual fuck&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Your score: 39&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;oh ok&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;19.. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;that’s lower than i thought fuck&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;21. Dear me.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;16. LOLOL.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;42. About what I thought.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;33. So, on the extreme low end of average. I honestly thought it would be a lot higher than that.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;30… Mpf…&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This test is rubbish. I’m queeeeen of empathy. I simply often don’t give a fuck, but I pretend very convincingly, because I’m rrreally nice and warm and now please piss off.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;55.  Above average.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Sounds about right; I’m pretty empathetic, although when it comes to my own feelings, I tend to run screaming in the opposite direction.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I have taken this at two different times over the last few months.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;First score: 42&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Second score (today): 21&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lzno8csoww1qlqx6r.gif"/&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Did..did I miss something?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I’m not quite sure what has happened.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;25. Hmm. Well, sorry guys, apparently I’m a sociopath.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;


18….What does that make me?&lt;/blockquote&gt;

&lt;p&gt;64. Which is very high. I’m pretty sure emotions rule my life&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://erinsthoughtsonfire.tumblr.com/post/17926509466</link><guid>http://erinsthoughtsonfire.tumblr.com/post/17926509466</guid><pubDate>Sun, 19 Feb 2012 22:50:49 -0500</pubDate></item><item><title>Would you buy this on etsy?
