He calls it the empathising-systemising (E-S) theory. Empathising is the drive to identify another person's emotions and thoughts, and to respond to these with an appropriate emotion. The empathiser intuitively figures out how people are feeling, and how to treat people with care and sensitivity. Systemising is the drive to analyse and explore a system, to extract underlying rules that govern the behaviour of a system; and the drive to construct systems.' Of course we all have some measure of both systems but . . . there are tests at this site to see how you measure up. .< 12:53:13 AM >'boards - Screening Room 'A single cog sets off a chain reaction that sets component parts of a Honda Accord in elaborate and orchestrated motion.

Looters have grabbed all the medicine and other supplies from the health ministry's main warehouse in Baghdad, according to the World Health Organization.' It's the responsibility of the invading countries to ensure that the hospitals are protected. .< 12:23:04 AM >CBC Sports: Ben Johnson wants Carl Lewis stripped of '88 gold 'Earlier this week, Dr. Wade Exum, the former United States Olympic Committee director for drug control, released more than 30,000 pages of documents that show Lewis was one of more than 100 U.S. athletes who failed tests that would have disqualified them at the Olympics but were reinstated after it was decided the drug use was "inadvertent."
"Ben was not the only one on drugs -- they were all taking drugs, there was no difference," Johnson's manager, Morris Chrobotek, told the Sydney Morning Herald.' |
