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

Your neurotypical (non-autistic) score: 149 of 200
You are very likely neurotypical



(Note: I'm an engineer, which makes this result pretty odd.)

//EDIT: Also, am I the only person here who has a strong urge to jump over things? LOL

Not really. Engineers are twice as likely as the general population to have autistic children, but as far as I know the majority of engineers remain non-autistic.

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. LOL

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? Wink

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

You are quite a fine person, and I am very fond of you. But you are only quite a little fellow, in a wide world, after all.

what does this even mean?

Do you find it hard to recognise phone numbers when said in a different way?



edit:
Thank you for filling out this questionnaire.

Your Aspie score: 24 of 200
Your neurotypical (non-autistic) score: 178 of 200
You are very likely neurotypical


Compulsive is the only section that isn't basically entirely "neurotypical" according to them.

I have to think about it a bit, and get a piece of paper to write it down, when somebody tells me his/her phone number in binary code.

LOL  Surely that can't be what they are referring to.  I don't think anybody thinks in binary.  Maybe Unicode.

Oh.  No, then.  To be honest I've never met anybody that felt the need to be a doofus talk like that

*shrug* engineer is too general a term to be a specific type of person as engineers are available in all shapes and sizes. Personality traits that are beneficial in one field/trade/discipline that would be a hinderance in another, like any other profession, engineers tend to gravitate to the particular type of engineering that suits their personality
 
I seem to have both Aspie and neurotypical traits, which doesn't surprise me, and  I doubt would surprise anyone else, but I'm certainly not reading anything into it. I'll not post my scores here because some are treating this as a highscore table and I'm not interested in playing.

I guess we don't want assburgers?

Heard the name, don't really know much about it...but I didn't have the patience to make it past halfway...does that mean something?

I, too, have aspie/neurotypical traits. (My scores were around 107 or something. I don't know what they mean).

In all honesty, I don't like it when people walk behind me. I have an extreme lack of patience for frustrating situations, I am obsessed with my interests, I have a hard time 'syncing' and empathizing with others. I dislike social situations. I tap my fingers, pace, chew my tongue and cheeks, hate the loud stamping of feet, and shut down (or blow up unexpectedly) when severely overwhelmed. I hate having my hobbies interrupted. I daydream constantly. I am sometimes so lost in my own thoughts that I lose focus of those around me. I'll literally lie in bed for hours thinking about one story idea I want to write about. Sometimes I feel that I think only in words.

I am, however, quite apt in social situations when caught unaware. I'm good at reading others' facial expressions, and other such things. I'm sure, like with most people, it balances out. I'm really good at pretending to care about others. I'm really good at staying on track and I can handle any sort of number set thrown at me with ease. This test and conversation opened me up to better realize the strange tendencies I do have. Sometimes I'll catch myself walking 'in step' with others at random intervals as if I'm still in marching band. I don't need schedules or lists, but I enjoy making certain lists. I love categorizing things, especially albums. I have memorized the name, track listing, and release dates of over 1,000 albums. I have rated and categorized most all of these in specific order (i.e., Blood on the Tracks 1975 is a half-step lower than John Wesley Harding 1967 which is a half step lower than Revolver 1966 which is a half-step lower than Abbey Road 1969 which is a half-step lower than Songs in the Key of Life 1976 which is a half-step lower than Jesus Christ Superstar 1970 which is four whole steps above The Blue Mask 1982, which is two whole steps below The Final Cut 1983 which is a single step above Blood Money 2002 which is a half step lower than Alice 2002 which is one-and-a-half steps above Killers 1981 which is a whole step below Iron Maiden 1980 which is two steps above Powerslave 1984 which is three steps below Aqualung 1971 which is on equal ground with First Utterance 1971 which is interesting.)

Diana, Diana, kick your feet up.
