RMET test and imposter syndrome

The RMET test tests the ability to recognise the expression of emotion as reflected in the eye region of the human face. A version can be found here:  https://embrace-autism.com/reading-the-mind-in-the-eyes-test/#test - though one image did not work, at least for me. My results were better than most neurotypicals score, 32 out of 36, the neurotypical mean 27.3, autistic mean 24.9. I attribute this to having researched facial expression and having, therefore, gained an intellectual knowledge of it, and to being a good visual artist - you cannot accurately draw a face and be unaware of how relationships between features and planes can change.

Though knowing this, I immediately felt the 'autistic imposter syndrome' kick in, so I did another test, the Repetitive Behaviours Questionnaire - RBQ-2A . This time I scored 42, well above the autistic mean of 36 (25 and below being neurotypical scores). So the imposter syndrome goes back in its box, until next time.
