I read a [study](https://www.researchgate.net/publication/319607827_The_overlap_between_autistic_spectrum_conditions_and_borderline_personality_disorder) about Autism (ASC) and BPD and their scores on empathy and systemizing. According to this BPD shows average empathy and high systemizing.

&gt;Empathizing is the drive to identify another person’s emotions and thoughts and to respond to these with an appropriate emotion. Systemizing, however, is the drive to analyse the variables in a system and to derive the underlying rules that govern the behaviour of a system. Systemizing also refers to the drive to construct systems. Systemizing allows you to predict the behaviour of a system, and to control it. 

I took a couple EQ/SQ tests and either scored average on both or with higher SQ but taking the tests I noticed I'm more unorganized and not very detail oriented but highly analytical and more concerned with the big picture. I'm emotionally and socially aware but don't necessarily care and I'm impulsive but depending on my mood don't follow through with it either because I'm scared or just give it up again down the road. I know the consequences but take risks anyway because I just don't care / want it.

Systemizing is very important for me. The world and relationships do not really make sense to me because of dissociation and my perception and mood changes all the time and I have a lot of issues that I need to deal with. I rationalize and try to gather a lot of understanding and knowledge to feel secure and work against my perception disturbances. I think at this point in my life I have a strong executive function to maintain some stability.

What about you?
