Aspergers Test

[Kyuss Apollo]

Take an Asperger Syndrome Test (http://www.piepalace.ca/blog/asperger-test-aq-test/) here.

My score came out at 20, a point below "Average male or female computer scientist" and a point above "Average male scientist, and average male or female physicist."

My guess is they did not consider historians in their original estimations of those who prefer numbers and data to talking with beautiful people...

[Miisa]

32/50 "Scores over 32 are generally taken to indicate Asperger's Syndrome or high-functioning autism, with more than 34 an "extreme" score."

Why the hell am I even talking to you people?

[lisarea]

How likely is it that someone with Asperger's is going to score lower than someone who doesn't have it?

Someone who is truly socially incompetent is not going to be aware enough to realize that they're incompetent. The people who score really really high are at least aware--even exaggeratedly aware--of their own social awkwardness. Like the Dunning-Kruger effect.

[ceptimus]

I got a 29. I thought I was giving mostly wishy-washy answers (only slightly agreeing or slightly disagreeing with every proposition) so either the test is cleverer than I thought, or it's fixed.

[Watser?]

This must be the only test I ever did where I score as an average man (18)

[Miisa]

I hardly gave any strong replies either, and I did think quite a few choices I made were ones that would have lowered my score (the numbers and attention to detail ones).

[Shelli]

I got a 25. A couple years ago, it would have been higher.

[Dingfod]

32/50 "Scores over 32 are generally taken to indicate Asperger's Syndrome or high-functioning autism, with more than 34 an "extreme" score."

Why the hell am I even talking to you people?Why am I supposed to pay attention to you when I scored a 32.

[Miisa]

Copycat.

[Ensign Steve]

I scored a 19. I honestly thought I would score a lot lower. What, a person can't like numbers without being mental? :crazy:

[beyelzu]

yeah, i also scored a 19 damn my desire to read and my enjoyment of memorizing car license plates :shakefist:

[seebs]

43.

And yes, I'm professionally diagnosed as autistic.

[Ymir's blood]

21. That likely would have been much higher in my childhood though.

[fragment]

26, a little a bit above "average math contest winner". What's an average math contest? I've only ever won the above-average kind. :P

[fragment]

Checking the javascript, it doesn't make any difference whether you answer "slightly" or "definitely", you get one point (or not) in either case. It doesn't matter how wishy-washy you think you are.

[curses]

30. Not surprised, as my social skills suck.

[godfry n. glad]

28. I ain't never been in no math contest.

[ShottleBop]

22. One point more than the average male or female computer scientist.

Kyuss Apollo, your result (as you report it) is logically impossible. :giggle:

[curses]

:orly:
Insert one of the following phrases:

YOU ARE!!!1
or
MOMO FUCK YOU!1


:giggle:

[fragment]

:orly:
O Definitely YA RLY!!
O Slightly YA RLY!!
O Slightly NO WAI!!!!
O Definitely NO WAI!!!!

[viscousmemories]

I answered three questions before I lost interest. I wonder what that means.

[vremya]

I got 26. :meh:

[curses]

It means that...
oooooh shiny thing!

[mickthinks]

16? Then how come I got no friends, Prof?

[Dingfod]

Oh. I forgot I had him on Ignore.

[Adam]

29. I'm more functional than high-functioning! Whoo-hoo!

[Joshua Adams]

32.

[Potato]

20. Hm.

[Doctor X]

0-12

Nerds!

--J.D.

[Ensign Steve]

Wow, Dr. X, that is cool. Tell me, can you add at all? Do you have problems dialing a phone?

OMG, I'm joking around, but geez I swear whoever made that test is a numbers hater.

[Abdul Alhazred]

Coming late to the discussion.

I'm getting a 404 error on the link to the test.

[viscousmemories]

I tried again and only got through five questions. It's not ADD as I previously suspected, it's that I really don't think I can objectively answer those questions about myself.

[Miisa]

I answered three questions before I lost interest. I wonder what that means.
FAIL!

[Plant Woman]

This just in--breaking news:

Finally a test available that gives the proof you've all been waiting for.

ff members are weird.

Film at 11.

[wildernesse]

I'm a 15--average woman, iirc.

[One for Sorrow]

18- average man ...

?

:dancebey:

[Shake]

21. That likely would have been much higher in my childhood though.

:yeahthat:

[erimir]

15

But while I enjoy social situations, it doesn't ask any graded questions. I definitely do not enjoy crowds, but I do enjoy hanging out with a couple friends and such.

I guess that score makes me an unusual math contest winner :P

[lpetrich]

That's one of Simon Baron-Cohen's tests -- I've turned that one and some of his other ones into self-scoring pages: their index page (http://homepage.mac.com/lpetrich/Asperger/Index.html):

AQ: Autism Quotient How close to autistic are you?
EQ: Empathy Quotient How sensitive to others' emotions are you?
FQ: Friendship and Relationship Quotient How concerned are you with these?
SQ: Systematizing Quotient How systematic are you?


I've found myself to be within the Asperger's range.

[Ensign Steve]

Hey, it's nice to see you posting around here, lp! :ciao:

[LadyShea]

It's silly and I am with vm on that one can't answer objectively.

The first few questions I couldn't answer really, so I just stopped. I like doing stuff with others, I like doing stuff alone...it depends more on the activity and the "others" in question than on my general preferences for being alone vs. being with a group.

[Ensign Steve]

Wow, you guys must be downright :rush: if you're going to critically analyze the questions.

[LadyShea]

You are! :glare:

[Goliath]

36/50.

[beyelzu]

damn goliath, pretty high,

maybe you should simplify the fraction

say you got like 18/25

and claim normalcy

:tmgrin:

[Uthgar the Brazen]

19/50

Average male scientist, and average male or female physicist

Do I get to choose which sex of physicist I can be? :excited:

[Dingfod]

It did say 'or'.

[Uthgar the Brazen]

Oooh, I wanna be a hot physicist mama! :luna:

[Goliath]

damn goliath, pretty high,

say you got like 18/25

and claim normalcy

:tmgrin:

:lol:

I'll have to remember that after giving the first calculus exam this fall. "Hey, sure you got a 64/100, but look at it this way! If we simplify the fraction, you actually got a 16 (out of 25)! Errr...wait..."

:P

[seebs]

36/50.

Hah! I always suspected this. You tend to both interpret things literally and expect people to interpret them literally.

Entirely rational, except for the fact that most people aren't.

[LadyShea]

I took it 'cuz Ensign Steve gave me shit. I got a 9. I don't think I have Asperger's

I'm gonna go out on a limb and guess not.
