Research on emphathizers and systemizers

Measuring Empathizing and Systemizing with a Large US Sample.  Wright DB, Skagerberg EM (2012) PLoS ONE 7(2): e31661. doi:10.1371/journal.pone.0031661

Submitted by Uyen Nguyen:  According to results of a research that measured empathizing and systemizing with a large US population who are non-students (Daniel B. Wright, Elin M. Skagerberg, 2012), 5% of males were empathizers while 23% of females are and 27% of males were systemizers while 6% of females were. Therefore, it is not conclusive that females and males do not show disparity in inclination toward systemizing and empathizing throughout the course of life.
