Aspie?

Post by Paladion »

Hi!

I found this cool test to check if you are an aspie or not.

I got 143p which means that I'm probably an Aspie. Cool ;D

That's a funny test. They gave me 99 pts now.

Well, no aspie at all. They consider me having some "aspie traits", eh? Ha, yes I dislike being touched by strangers and I don't enjoy shaking hands and usually I'm working on my own - no teamplay with me. Too much talking & listening(which is the tiresome part for me for I'm hearing impaired) And no, I'm not alone. *gg* My fairy knows my oddities and edges her way around them. *gg*

I know that I have several Aspie traits - which is, by the way, quite common among computer geeks, just like the liking for fantasy / sci-fi literature, roleplaying, and martial arts - but this test is anything but scientific. My wife (having studied Empirical Sociology) would probably laugh her head of.

If you just have to place all points to one end of the scale to score high, the tendency of the question is obvious, the positive and negative questions aren't balanced, and there are no "check" questions (those who double-check on an earlier answer, with a different wording / orientation), such a test doesn't tell you much except how you would like to see yourself.

;)
Every good solution is obvious once you've found it.

earlier 123, now 115... Trying to fit in with social stuff more nowadays, and being less empathic and more of a sh*thead to people who try to abuse me for their good.

Thank you for filling out this questionnaire.

Your score
NOW EARLIER
91 91

You seem to have some Aspie or ADHD-traits but well below average for Aspies

Most Aspies that have answered have scored above 100 (mean 134 for men and 147 for women). Many people with ADD/ADHD also have scored high (mean 115), but not as high.
Are they putting ADHD-patients on the same line as geeks now?

Someone with Asperger's Syndrome - a mental illness related to autism.

138 and 133, that said, I have dyspraxia, some side effects of which can be similar to Asperger's in terms of social aspects so I bet that's way over rated, and I'm also interested in computers, so that's over rated too. :P
