Your Aspie Score

It has been posited that STEM-related paths are disproportionately high in Aspies. That said, not all engineers are aspies, but many would score higher on the spectrum regardless. Hell, you probably went to a tech school and know the population pretty well.

Anyway, I opened up the PDF for detailed results. Scored very low on Aspie compulsion, which is ironic given my family history of OCD. Neurotypical compulsion was also weird, because liking team sports and being gender-stereotypical is apparently anathema to Aspies. Hell, it's not my fault men like violence, motorcycles, heavy metal, video games, and team sports. What do Aspies have against that?

//EDIT: Also, lol @ Aspies being scared of motorcycle engines.

Your Aspie score: 61 of 200

You are very likely neurotypical

I just took this quiz which measures to some degree where you fall on the Asperger's spectrum. I don't take it to mean much, but I thought people might be interested in it.

You can take the quiz here

Your Aspie score: 135 of 200
Your neurotypical (non-autistic) score: 55 of 200
You are very likely an Aspie
