"Conversation. What is it? A Mystery! It's the art of never seeming bored, of touching everything with interest, of pleasing with trifles, of being fascinating with nothing at all. How do we define this lively darting about with words, of hitting them back and forth, this sort of brief smile of ideas which should be conversation?" ~ Guy de Maupassant ~

Empathising or Systemising ?

Have you a male or female brain?. How male or female is your brain? Psychologist Simon Baron-Cohen argues in today's Guardian that the male and female brains tend to be hard-wired for different kinds of thinking - empathising (more common in females) or systemising (more common in males). Take the test. [MetaFilter]

The tests tested my patience - but a good diversion .... FUN !  I am surprised to find that i have a Systemizing Quotient (SQ) much higher than the average for women. 

So much for stereotypes !
