"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:

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)
