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?

  • Some of these questions were really oddly specific, and I had to put don't know for a lot of them.

    There were also an either/or question which I didn't understand how to answer with the 0, 1, 2 scale.

    Also the "do you have trouble filling out forms" question made me laugh. I put 0 because I don't think I do, but I guess this quiz was a form which I had trouble with. But I consider that a problem with the form rather than me. I can fill in forms fine if they make sense, I only struggle when it's the form's fault. Joy

    Forms are always trouble for me and my questions to clarify it are annoying to others. Like if it should be with capital letters? Should I put tick or cross, and others that I find complicated. And then I hear “just fill it out and stop over complicating things” and then after filling out and submitting the form, while going back home I recall it again each question and stress about it if I filled that properly and what if not? What if I unintentionally lied about something by misunderstanding something” what if I get rejected, what if there are consequences, what if a police comes to my place because of that etc. sometimes I manage to stop it somehow but sometimes it’s almost a disaster like mesile explosion coming to my mind and I get a lot of stress while others have fun of me. Yeah… forms are really stressful.
