Yetta Nother

Yet another reason to not stay in America long-term: whatever hypothetical children I may have in the future will be weird enough by virtue of being mine. I don't want to screw them up even more by having them be the maladjusted, artificially assimilated, privately-schooled, hothouse-flower first-generation American offspring of an immigrant intellectual.
Compounding the problem would be my tendency to be attracted to guys with whom I should not mix genes because our offspring would probably be autistic (i.e., if you have a shot at getting a date with me, you would likely score 32 or higher on this test). Damnit.
First-generation ABCs are just freaking weird. They are the only ethnic group for whom I will confess overtly racist feelings. Sorry.

Well, I scored 17. So! Does that support your theory or not?

Er...I suppose it's a good thing that I like some men who aren't hopeless geeks? ^_^

Average for males in the social sciences was 17.1, so you're spot on, Jer! (I got the original Baron-Cohen paper off'f PubMed)

Steve on scoring 41: "I think I'm going to cry."
