The "Aspie quiz" that shows typical & atypical traits

Lotus

Recently Kefka posted his results of what I know as "The Aspie quiz" and Uhane requested a link to it, so I have copied the link below (hope it works)

https://embrace-autism.com/aspie-quiz/

This test results in a 10 sided chart, showing how strong your atypical (autistic) and typical (neurotypical) traits are, which I find really interesting. For an example, here is my result:

This matches my my attention to detail, pattern recognition and special interests (high atypical talent) and my need for predictability and my hypersensitivity (high atypical perception). I have what is maybe an unusual communication score for someone on the spectrum, however this is an ability to interpret and display typical non verbal communication - not as I originally thought, being ok at conversation. (Verbal communication is in the talent section of the typical side of the graph)

I have a question about this test - does anyone know if it is used anywhere for formal diagnosis?

  • I had a go.  I'm not taking this seriously.

    This is mine.  I welcome comments.

    Several years ago I picked up a leaflet from my GPs surgery from a local mental health charity, they also gave a link to a mental health quiz to see if one needed their help.  I completed the quiz honestly. Their feedback was that my problems were far more serious than the help they were offering and I should seek professional help.

    Thank you both for posting, that's interesting. My first thought was that I'm an atypical atypical person - ha ha ha! Smiley

    However, although the shapes look different, the talent scores are roughly the same for all 3 - between 3 & 4 on the typical side and around 8 on the atypical side. This indicates we all have strong/special interests, notice details/ patterns, and are not very good at verbal communication or learning by imitation.
