Comments: My Brain is Type B

Hmmm, scored a 32 for Empathizing and a 54 for Systematizing -- that's puts me at an "Extreme S", potentially a manifestation of austism... I wonder what other physicists score, assuming there must be some sort of grouping by profession...

I scored a 61 for Empathizing and a 51 for Systematizing. I am a type B, but certainly more on the empathizing side of one. As a geek, I guess that's quite unusual for me, but not entirely surprising considering comments from friends :)

Also funny because as a male, I guess I should be more systematic, and as an engineer, even more so! Forget stereotyping =)

Well, 23 - emphatizing, 27 - systematizing, that's balanced but in an autistic sort of ways. Should I be comforted, or alarmed? I'll have to ask my friends... I'm a male scientist/researcher/mathematician, by the way.

35 for Systematizing and 24 for Emhatizing, that puts me in the Extreme S part, and it was really what I expected...

Unfortionately the questions are of far too vague a nature to produce anything "scientific".

For instance, "I enjoy being highly organized and make lists of everything I do each day." Well...I am highly organized...or perhaps "structured", but I do not make lists of things to do. They blew the usefulness of this question by making it two part. It is not a simple "Yes, No, Maybe" type of question.

Another, "I tend not to watch scientific programs on television." Well, when I watch television I tend to watch a fairly high percentage of "scientific programs", however, I do not generally watch television at all, so I do not "tend to watch scientific programs on television."

It seems every other question could be qualified any number of ways. It is amazing this sort of thing would even be remotely passed off as "scientific". More akin to fortune telling.

Truth is a kind and gentle lie.
