I'm sure that none of you can tell when people are feeling awkward and no one here understands when something is inappropriate. You've all been living in caves and crafting your manifestos...

Actually, why am I being sarcastic about that? An utter inability to understand acceptable social behavior would explain 100% of the brainless conversations and unexplainably idiotic opinions expressed on this board. Never mind. Carry on.

i think that test is skewed low because im a bleeding heart and got only a 30...still higher than everyone else but way lower than it should have been

[rjs246]

Bleeding heart has less than nothing to do with that test. It is trying to test your ability to be empathetic and understand social cues that indicate how others feel. Being liberal or conservative has nothing to do with it. It's testing social awareness and intelligence and the more I think about it the less shocked I am that the people on this board scored at aspergers levels.

Edit: I will add this. There's a difference between understanding how those around you are feeling and caring how those around you are feeling. This test is trying to measure whether you understand. Whether or not you actually care is a whole different set of questions. I have a feeling that you monkeys are answering the questions as though they were asking "Do you give a shtein when someone is offended by your behavior/odor/compulsive masturbation?" Clearly the answer there for internet nerds is "No, I don't give a shtein."

[ice grillin you]

yeah it does because conservatives only care about themselves...and not only cant empathize with other people but dont care too

[rjs246]

Don't be an idiot. The highly religious are almost always conservative and do more charity work, offer more charity money than anyone else. Get over your obsession with stereotyping liberals and conservatives.

Your score: 44
33 - 52 = average (most women score about 47 and most men score about 42)

taking that test >>>>>>>>>>>>>> talking about it

53

The score may have been a little skewed upward because this is the time of the month I feel breast tenderness and get moody. I know you care.

Why would anyone take that test and NOT try to score the lowest possible?

Why would anyone take that test and NOT try to score the lowest possible?

What's the point of taking the test and 'trying' to get a certain score?
