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 didn't copy the link to my chart, but there is apparently a 77% chance that I am typical (i.e. neurotypical), which I am most definitely not! I did have a very even spread of results on both sides of the chart with most traits being between 2 and 4. I am late diagnosed (at age 50, now 52 years old), so I wonder if these results reflect that factor and/or my ability to mask (although I don't bother masking very much any more). I did have quite a few "Don't know" answers and most of my other answers were "1s" (i.e. a little). Any thoughts?
Don't sweat the small stuff! This is one niche test. Do more of these things online, and see what the aggregate picture of "you" looks like.
One online test does.not an aspie make......or something like that!
Im thinking I've got my very own 'state' shape, I'm in an Uhane state of mind!
Uhane said:I like the graphic. For that alone it was fun to do
Yes, I agree. The questions were rather boring, even though some of them I was like, "YES YES YES THAT IS DEFINITELY ME!!!". I only did it for the map. Sadly, it was not the shape of Texas.
I like the graphic. For that alone it was fun to do.
To be fair, I only did it out of interest (as everyone else was doing it). I recall that I did the test before and got similar results. I am not bothered about it, just intrigued, as I typically score between 37 and 43 on the AQ50 test.
