This is a cool test. I, uh, scored 22.

Sigh. <BR/><BR/>Kyddryn, good for you. It's better, I think, to see the good in the world. Seriously. It's also worth noting that women as a group are better at "theory of mind" tests like this one than men as a group...in other words, they're better at reading emotions. No surprise there, I suppose. <BR/><BR/>That doesn't mean it's fixed; men and women can improve their mind-reading skills; I'm willing to be I would have scored a few points lower before becoming a father.Jeremy Adam Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11733669114207985920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23363296.post-87516646865964949662008-11-10T13:52:00.000-08:002008-11-10T13:52:00.000-08:00I'm a 27 too.

This would certainly explain why I am so easily deceived, wouldn't it?? :-) Neat test, thanks for sharing it.<BR/><BR/>Shade and Sweetwater,<BR/>KKyddrynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07668797984157146798noreply@blogger.com
