I have always struggled with multiple choice questionnaires. Is this an Autistic Trait?
When I read this question and answered, I was thinking of the multiple choice we get with autism questionnaires ie a statement is made and then you have to:
a. Agree b. Slightly agree. c. Slightly disagree. d. Disagree.
There should be an e. My brain just exploded.
This is the kind I hate.
However, I can do this kind:
What is a lemon?
a. Fruit b. Vegetable. c. Dog.

I love writing thousand word essays, it’s like a huge info dump!
I like writing essays because I analyse everything and can include all the details!
I like multiple choice, as it helps when my brain goes blank which happens a lot when I don’t know what’s coming. It also means I’m on the right track with my answer, instead of reading the question completely wrong (which also happens a lot).
I like multiple choice questions because they are very specific and therefore appeals to my autistic brain.
Me too. Anything that's just question, answer I can do but things that are open ended I either freeze and don't know where to start or my mind wanders off. Needless to say, my exam results in essay subjects weren't good. If the autism questionnaires were "describe your childhood experience in 800 words" I would have burst into flame.
I thought at the time (and still haven't ruled out) I had undiagnosed ADHD and that was the reason I can't stay focused unless I'm constantly being pulled back on track.
Love multiple choice questions.
Hate thousand word essays.
1. Funny!
2. Predictable
3. Hilarious
In all seriousness though, I struggle too and that's what most (if not all) the autism tests consist of, unfortunately.
My GP read mine out!
I'm still annoyed about that, as it was incredibly hard to remember the choices.
1. Yes.
2. Maybe.
3. No.
4.
