"They just can't help it" <http://www.guardian.co.uk/life/feature/story/0,13026,937913,00.html> "What kind of brain do you have? There really are big differences between the male and female brain, says Simon Baron-Cohen." The author has written a book ("The Essential Difference") to explain his theory. "How male or female is your brain?" - Take the tests <http://www.guardian.co.uk/life/news/page/0,12983,937443,00.html> There are two components in the theory, Empathy Quotient (EQ) and Systemising Quotient (SQ). The relationship between these two numbers is used to determine what type of brain you have: male, female or balanced. Two questionnaires are provided to help you work out your EQ and SQ. Interactive versions of the questionnaires (Flash required) are provided: EQ <http://www.guardian.co.uk/life/flash/page/0,13249,937836,00.html> SQ <http://www.guardian.co.uk/life/flash/page/0,13249,937835,00.html> Non-interactive versions are also available, but you have to work out your scores manually: EQ <http://www.guardian.co.uk/life/table/0,13235,937442,00.html> SQ <http://www.guardian.co.uk/life/table/0,13235,937441,00.html> Each quiz has 60 questions. My scores: EQ = 43 (slightly above average for a male) SQ = 48 (above average) To find out your brain type, use the instructions on this page: <http://www.guardian.co.uk/life/feature/image/0,13030,938137,00.html>
