Abstract
Latent profile analysis suggests 5 classes of empathizing and systemizing scores: balanced (high, medium, low), empathizing, and systemizing. Sex and g but not theory of mind predict class membership, class membership somewhat predicts feelings towards STEM and humanities. This partially replicates previous research using empathizing and systemizing “brain types.”
