Not very surprised at these results.

Your Aspie score: 129 of 200
Your neurotypical (non-autistic) score: 66 of 200
You are very likely an Aspie

I took that awhile ago, actually, and got somewhere right in the middle-- ALSO not surprising, considering I've been hanging out with Aspies for most of my life.

What was REALLY surprising was that the questions I did answer in a presumably "aspie" vein were all basically clustered together-- I was checking twos for entire sections and then zeros for entire sections. I've always wondered what that said about me.

What did you put for the question about how altruistic that guy is, btw? I always thought it was a trick question, but that's probably a topic for another thread. Tongue

I didn't know what altruistic meant, so I left it as "Don't know". Tongue

This quiz is wacked...

Do you like to dig holes in the ground?  (What?  Seriously, what?)
Do you like to eat liver?             (Few do...)
Do you use to have diarrhea?     (That's very vague. I've had it before, as with every other person on earth)
Do you like tongue-kissing?        (Umm I'm sure pretty much everyone would given the chance)
Do you have psychic abilities?     (Oh, yeah. All the time)

My Results:
Your Aspie score: 61 of 200
Your neurotypical (non-autistic) score: 137 of 200
You are very likely neurotypical

That PDF at the end gives a very thorough overview of the quiz and the answers.
I guess most of my apsie score came from liking things to be in order and following patterns. That's pretty misleading.

So are the results either aspie or neurotypical, or are there more extremes?

Every one except the fourth one I think is a bit wack.  I actually said no because I'm somewhat of a germaphobe.

Your Aspie score: 109 of 200
Your neurotypical (non-autistic) score: 128 of 200
You are both Aspie and neurotypical

I'm a very unique case of Asperger's.
I'm obsessed with myself and looking feminine, but I like to BE masculine.  That's one of my weird things about me that I don't understand much.  I'm very popular with peers and highly extroverted, but part of it's my abnormality and ability to ignore social obstacles that causes those.  I'm a very hands-on type of person and I love to do things, but I hate sticky things, wet things, and cold things.
I'm a weird test subject; I skewed results. xD

Yeah, I actually know a ton of people who don't like tongue-kissing for the "germ" reason. Or, well, because they're not very good at it. Tongue

I guess counting the "compulsions" section against myself isn't fair at all since I have actually been told that I have OCD... but some of these other questions made some of my close friends laugh REALLY hard when they saw them because they were like "That is SO Laura." Among the ones that were eerily accurate statements as they pertained to me:

"Do you have a tendency to drop things?" (And everything else about being clumsy and accident prone, really.)
"Do you have unconventional, often unique ways of solving problems?" (Some of you have seen me play pictionary.)
"Do you have an excellent vocabulary and/or fascination with words?"  (I'm an English major.)
Half of the section on stims (I think this is Bemani's fault though-- everyone I know who has played Bemani has started to tap patterns out on every available surface they can find at one point or another).

And the biggest one: "Do you tend to shut down or have a meltdown when stressed or overwhelmed?" ...I actually had to go to the hospital for this once.


So yeah, no wonder I get along with Aspies so well, I guess? Tongue

It's just a test though. I mean these are quite generic questions.

Your Aspie score: 120 of 200
Your neurotypical (non-autistic) score: 75 of 200
You are very likely an Aspie

The weirder questions (ignoring the diarrhea one) might seem a bit out there, but exceptionally sharp or dull senses and a fascination with objects (and their parts) are common traits.  I was never big on digging holes, but I used to (through Junior year of high school) build increasingly complex structures out of K'nex and I have a ridiculous tendency to take stuff apart and put it back together.  The liver question probably goes along with the sharp/dull senses (I've never had liver, so I can't comment on it, but it's probably a flavor that lends itself well to one extreme or the other).  The phychic abilities one I can't explain so much either, though I did guess the general form of a Taylor series months before I was in a class that covered it (my ability to guess/predict is either dead on or completely wrong).

Which is why I'm not extrapolating anything like "I'm an aspie lol" from them-- I'm pretty much not, as far as I know. It just serves as a good explanation as to why I get along with those who are so well.

I hope nobody takes these results seriously. Self-diagnosis isn't a good thing to do.

I'm just putting it out there though. There are people who only fit very little, or nothing of the criteria (you have to have more than just social difficulty, guys), who claim that they have AS, and use that as an excuse for their behavoir. It ruins the reputation of people who really do have it. It shouldn't really be an excuse in the first place, actually.

Hmm, seems a little late, but then again, I was diagnosed at 4,  :lol:  My parents used to think I had ADD/ADHD until then. I don't know why I was such a hyper child.

Well, it wasn't officially recognized in the United States until '94, so that's probably why.  Also probably why most people don't know what it is.

I do hear that the rate of diagnosing Autism and other related things are going up. I don't know why it's happening.

Am I the only person who is still staring at this quiz and muttering angrily because it assumes that you have only one natural hair and eye color, and requires that you answer those questions (so to take the quiz I would *have* to pick an incorrect and thus data-skewing answer for both of them)?

Does that make me an honorary Aspie or a disqualification due to OCD? Tongue

Okay, "auburn" - that's *sort of* like "red-brown with silver streaks."  And "hazel" - that's *analogous* to banded green/brown/grey eyes, right?

Bah.  Standardized tests will be the death of me.

Your quiz for the score doesn't start with hair color and whatnot. The third page where all the questions are is when it starts.

And yes, you will get Apsie points for being OCD according to this quiz.
