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)

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?
just found and did the version 5...
Interesting, Uhane.
Have you noticed how, while there are lots of different shapes, nearly all of us have high atypical talent? (Which signifies strong / special interests, attention to detail and noticing patterns)
You are one of those with higher typical perception, which apparently related to being able to read facial expressions and recognising people. Does that sound correct?
My colleague who is not autistic did this test - she seemed a bit disappointed that she scored 100% typical. It was interesting seeing a shape which mostly covered the left side of the chart. I might ask her if she would mind if I put It on here, just as a comparison to ours.
