Low AQ is associated with high Eyes test score

Detailed explanation-1: -A typical score is in the range 22-30. If you scored over 30, you are very accurate at decoding a person’s facial expressions around their eyes. A score under 22 indicates you find this quite difficult.
Detailed explanation-2: -In both the clinical and control groups the Eyes Test was inversely correlated with the Autism Spectrum Quotient (the AQ), a measure of autistic traits in adults of normal intelligence. The Revised Eyes Test has improved power to detect subtle individual differences in social sensitivity.
Detailed explanation-3: -The original ‘Reading the Mind in the Eyes’ test had some limitations because the number of items and the binomial response format did not sufficiently differentiate individuals receiving higher scores.
Detailed explanation-4: -The average score for this test is between 22-30. If you score over 30 you are probably very good at reading people’s emotions based on facial cues. A score below 22 may indicate that you struggle at reading people’s emotions. Autistic people tend to score lowly in this test.
