Memetic nonsense

[altivo]

Blame corelog for this one:

Your EQ is 140

You are remarkable when it comes to relating with others. Only the biggest losers get under your skin. You are warm and open. Even when life gets you down, you're unafraid of the world and its challenges. You are comfortable with who you are. And you accept your weaknesses - as well as the weaknesses of others. While you are quite stable, you don't respond perfectly to every bad situation that comes up. But you have enough emotional intelligence to know when you need a course correction.

What's Your EQ (Emotional Intelligence Quotient)?

I wouldn't call it nonsense. That's pretty how I picture you, anyway.

*nudges Moonleg* See, I'm not defective ALL the time.

[calydor.livejournal.com]

I don't think she ever called you defective.

[altivo.livejournal.com]

Maybe not in so many words, but I did feel it all the same. It was worse with Cher for a while, though that did eventually get resolved I think. :)

[calydor.livejournal.com]

Both Moonleg and I had our issues to work out at the time. If that was the feeling you sat with, you have my sincerest apologies.

[altivo.livejournal.com]

No need to apologize. It all got worked through eventually. ;D

[soanos.livejournal.com]

I'd say that is accurate. I myself wade in the gray mass of averageness. :|

[altivo.livejournal.com]

I think it's because you are too isolated.

[soanos.livejournal.com]

It could be that. I don't have much company right now,
but I just came back from a furmeet that lasted for a weekend, so I am a bit knackered. x.X

*limps to you, flops fown in front of your hooves and looks up*

Early bed I think...

[altivo.livejournal.com]

I hope it was fun.

[soanos.livejournal.com]

It was pretty fun indeed. Met new people/furs, talked a lot, had a laugh and generally haf a good time.

However things are a bit overcast on my sky, so I could not fully enjoy it to the fullest. But nevertheless, it was great.

[schnee.livejournal.com]

It certainly doesn't sound unlike you to me.

[altivo.livejournal.com]

No, it's fairly accurate for who I am today, but wouldn't always have been so high.

[schnee.livejournal.com]

*noddles* But it's what you are today that counts. :) *hugs*

Your EQ is 60

When it comes to understanding human emotions, you'd have better luck understanding Chinese. You're not exactly the most psychologically aware person. You don't really know why people act the way they do. It's difficult enough for you to figure out what's going on in your own head. Forget understanding anyone else. You often feel bad about yourself and your life. But it's hard for you to get yourself on the right path. Consider getting help for your problems. It only feels like you have a dead end life.

Hahahaha - is 60 as low as this thing goes?

Your result doesn't sound unbelievable to me.

[calydor.livejournal.com]

Nope, I made it go lower:

Your EQ is 53

Yay for having a social disorder. :-/

[hellmutt.livejournal.com]

Social disorders are fun, aren't they. :-/

[altivo.livejournal.com]

Believe it or not, there was a time when I probably would have scored as low as you did.

[hellmutt.livejournal.com]

Neat. What sort of age would that be?

If the test were an accurate measurement, a few years ago I would have scored far, far lower than I would do now. Which is startling in itself.

I'm guessing maybe when I was in my mid-teens, fifteen or so. I really didn't start to "awaken" until I was in college, and needed another ten years or so before I was anything approaching "normal" I'd say.

My repeated advice is that you have to keep trying, rather than allowing yourself to withdraw into solitude, no matter how much easier that may seem. When I was a teen, there was no such thing as AS. The diagnosis didn't exist. I was sent to the shrinks a couple of times but all they ever said was that I was exceptionally intelligent and therefore operated on "a different plane" from most people.

My parents divorced when I was a junior in college, and for want of someone to talk to, I called my high school guidance counselor. He made time for me, and when I broke down and cried in his office he told me that he thought I'd never be able to do that.

I don't think AS and autism are the same thing or even very much related. AS is a delayed development thing, and given the proper opportunity, you do eventually start to catch up.

I do actually think of myself as mentally (specifically emotionally/socially) pre-teen. A shame I'm now 26, with all my potential prime wenching days behind me before I've even woken up to the possibility.

[altivo.livejournal.com]

Vastly overrated, that. Better to approach it from a more mature viewpoint anyway.

[hellmutt.livejournal.com]

But I've only just started recognising the face in the mirror as me, and he's already getting wrinkles. :(

Heeee 127 :D
