Two! Two empathy! Ah ah ah!

Bay12's Psychopath Club, represent!








Okay, line up or I'll get crushed. Well, and others too, I guess.

[Oliolli]

I'm a respectful analyst.

12 empathy.

Well this is the Dwarf Fortress forums. We are not known for our benevolence to little AI dwarves that can't fight back.

[Graknorke]

Okay, I think my empathy suppressor broke. Can someone get me a new one?

[Tiruin]

Personal DNA?

I'm apparently a "Free-wheeling creator".

Also very masculine and confident etc.  BELIEVE IT

I love the title of this thread and laughed pretty much too much because of it xD

...And then I remembered why I like more specific and non-general questions. I keep on thinking 'but this is too subjective!' >_<

^{*stop looking at it from omnipotent points of view, self :I*}

This often ends in sandwiches being made and why I like bread.

Aaaand there's a masculinity stat. Yay 2 points? [Oooh dear the labels we attach to gender xD] O_o

Edit: Low empathy?!..Ok wat.

Most of it seems pretty accurate, but since the test is based on what I say about myself, it makes sense that it would reflect my own opinions of myself. I am curious about this "masculinity/femininity" score though. What do they base that on? According to the test, I'm not masculine at all, but highly feminine. On the other hand, most tests I take put me in "analytical/masculine" groups, and I have decidedly masculine mannerisms and body language. Where are they getting femininity from? My high empathy score? Is masculinity linked to aggression and femininity to passivity? Because that's ridiculous.

[MetalSlimeHunt]

No, I have a moderately high empathy score and a extremely high masculinity score.

* Tiruin punches Sappho in agreement.

Shoulder-punches! :I

But yeah, hence why I guessed the labels. Femininity = 'softer' side and masculinity = tougher side? There was a question on how 'tough' you are as I remember.

...Wherein I debated with myself what tough meant. Emotionally? Physically? Mentally? In-the-face-of-adversity-and-probable-psychological-trauma-..lly?

And then my low empathy score. T_T

[sjm9876]

Generous Experiencer apparently.

Although actually reading the descriptions it seems more fitting.
The glossary seems to give a better picture however.

EDIT: Apart from the empathy score. I've had people mistake me for autistic before.......

I tried it out of interest and apparently I am a Considerate Creator.

In an ideal world, all people would be tough in at least one but preferably of those senses, so masculinity is a hard concept.

For example, mine (Benevolent Idealist) describes me as more masculine than feminine, but many of the other traits (high empathy in particular) don't sound very masculine at all! This is also the first test that comes up "extrovert" rather than introvert, but the questions for such are rather different than most tests.

I would guess that Masculinity, as defined in this test, is "doing" - leading to people I know just from interacting on the forums (Sappho and MSH, for example) to be very much "doers" coming up with high masculinity scores. This is a surprisingly common criteria of masculinity, but it would kind of imply that to be Feminine is to be a Laid Back Wussy, so it's not exactly universally agreed-upon.

Expected actually. And I thought I was shy, but Y'all could use some confidence.

I got 8 empathy. 8.

Oh man, I only got 24.

Do... do you guys need some? I've got plenty to spare.

That actually seems pretty close to the mark, in the deailed descriptions anyway.

Give me your empathy, or else. :I ()

Now I wish they had a defined explanation like how they did the DNA-type (not that I'm saying they did the type wrong-what I got rings with who I see myself...just that their method of arriving at such conclusions is...intriguing, to say the least).

I mean, considering mentality, gender has little say there (only in physiological/anatomical stuff), technically.

2 Agency and Confidence, 72 Empathy, and 100 Trust.  Apparently, I'm also very androgynous with a side of asexuality, with very low but similar masculinity and femininity scores.  I think my scores in general are a little...extreme.  I think, by and large, certain aspects do seem to be rather accurate.  However, this made me laugh quite a bit.

Because other people would benefit immensely from your understanding and insight, you should try to be more outgoing in social situations, even when they make you uncomfortable. Others will want to hear what you have to say!

"Uncomfortable" is probably the only accurate part of that. ^_^
