Now, if it had asked me if I was interested in how people put together their beliefs and ethics and arguments rather than railway tracks & motorway systems & electrical wiring & computers, I would have ticked 'strongly agree' to all those questions.

What is an interest in different theories & ideologies & how their reasoning & language work & the psychology underlying them? It's not clearly empathy or systemising. I think it is a kind of cognitive empathy which relies on an understanding of different systems of thought.

The online ones are never accurate and the psychometric ones aren't all that reliable either. I once took a psychometric test that said I should hear voices and be a paranoid schizophrenic. The hardest thing I have found to measure is a singular human mind.

Where can one take this test? Do you have the empathy skills of me?!

Emapthizer/systemizer distinction originated with 1/ Carol Gilligan, who correctly identified two distinct styles of decision-making but then overinterpreted them as dispositional rather than situational, assigning themn to "men" and "women".
-
2/ Later research showed both men and women used both styles. Then Simon Baron-Cohen revived dispositional interpretation, this time as "neurotypical" vs. "autistic" to support his theory of autism as hypermasculinization. His predictions didn't really pan out.
-
Last time I checked, dispositional interpretation was being used to explain psychological differences between liberals and libertarians (who, condensed, somewhat differ from conservatives).
