Objective: This research was conducted to support the hypothesis that boys and girls have different brain types that affect their empathy and systemising quotients.

Method: This was a cross-sectional study using an online survey. The Indonesian version of the Empathy/Systemising Quotient for Children (EQ/SQ-C) questionnaire was used to identify the brain type and empathy and systemising quotients. Participants were 620 parents who had primary school children and having minimal junior high school background. The data analysis used chi-square test and Mann–Whitney U-test on SPSS program for Mac version 20. Results: Boys and girls had different brain types (p < 0.05). The extreme-empathising brain type consisted of 1.9% girls and 0.5% boys; the empathising brain type was 15.8% in girls and 9.0% in boys. Further, 0.8% of girls and 2.6% of boys had the extreme-systemising brain type. Although the empathy quotient average mean score of the boys was significantly lower than the girls (p < 0.05), the systemising quotient average mean score was slightly higher than that of the girls.

Conclusion: This study found that gender plays an important role in empathy and systemising skills. Therefore, creating a stimulating program that supports empathy and systemising quotients in primary school students should be developed according to gender.

目的：进行这项研究是为了支持男孩和女孩的大脑类型不同，会影响他们的同理心和系统化商数的假设。

方法：这是一项使用在线调查的横断面研究。印度尼西亚语版的儿童移情/系统商数 (EQ/SQ-C) 问卷用于识别大脑类型以及移情和系统商数。参与者是 620 名有小学生且初中背景最低的父母。数据分析采用卡方检验和 Mann-Whitney U检验在 Mac 版本 20 的 SPSS 程序上进行。 结果：男孩和女孩的大脑类型不同（p< 0.05)。极度同情的大脑类型由 1.9% 的女孩和 0.5% 的男孩组成；女孩的同理心类型为 15.8%，男孩为 9.0%。此外，0.8% 的女孩和 2.6% 的男孩具有极端系统化的大脑类型。虽然男生的共情商平均分明显低于女生（p < 0.05），但系统化商平均分略高于女生。

结论：本研究发现，性别在同理心和系统化技能中起着重要作用。因此，应该根据性别制定一个支持小学生同理心和系统商数的刺激计划。
