I want to see if SAers lack empathy or something (due to being socially deficient).

oh wow.......ok.. well.. quite surprised by the results that I got hmmm.. very surprised. uummm perhaps too embarrassed to post them as well haha.. thought it'd be much higher >__>
Don't be embarrassed. I've read criticism that this test collapsed emotional empathy into cognitive empathy. Ideally, they should be differentiated otherwise people who have low cognitive empathy but high emotional empathy might still get a low overall score.
This is a break down of emotional and cognitive empathy:

Just squeaked by with a 64. But I'm a counselor besides a librarian, so I think I was trained in empathy more than that it comes naturally.
The Hokey Pokey IS what it's all about
41. I must admit I have a hard time feeling anything genuine for people who aren't directly connected to me. Also, I tend to feel more empathy for animals than humans >.>
I scored 53. Just 'above average' . I cry watching movies or too sad or emotional news stories.
34. I'm a bit disappointed.
What's your score, Antidote?
The first time I did the test, years ago, I scored above average. But that was when I thought I could read people very well. I've changed my mind now, and think I don't read people well at all (I changed my mind after I did this body language reading test and I scored low). So when it comes to questions like ''I can tell if someone is masking their true emotion" ... well I used to think yes, that this sort of stuff is obvious. But honestly you don't know because it's subjective. So this time I answered much more conservatively and I scored in the average range, about 35.
