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 did struggle on some of the questions like "Do you like travel?". I loved being in Japan, for example but I hated getting there and back. I literally took it as the travelling bit of a holiday and chose a strong no.

    Also, I do think that I have OK social skills through masking. I also think that I am OK at relationships with some people, like my wife, but I've not done well here.

    Actually, looking at it carefully, maybe I don't understand how this information is presented.
