Your Aspie score: 95 of 200
Your neurotypical (non-autistic) score: 100 of 200
You seem to have both Aspie and neurotypical traits
So you going to kick me off the board for not being aspie enough
Your Aspie score: 172 of 200
Your neurotypical (non-autistic) score: 24 of 200
You are very likely an Aspie
No surprise here. At least I fit in somewhere, for a person who has spent a lifetime not fitting in anywhere. Oh well.

There are some things in that test that I hadn't thought of as Aspie, but realised that I do.
What does hunting mean? I don't like to go hunting.
I think in this context that hunting is a technical term. It means something whose 'behaviour' moves backwards and forwards between several positions, apparently seeking to settle but never reliably settling. eg the needle on a dial is 'hunting' when it continually goes up and down and never stays still at a particular value. in this sense it's an engineering term.
so in an AS context, i guess it refers to the stimming, repetitive behaviour stuff?
hey, i really like this graphical display we're sharing
It shows really clearly the kinds of variation that we have here among us. I especially like the way it distinguishes the intellectual and physical aspects: it's true that i'm an intellectual aspie rather than a physiological one - so for example, my 'hunting' and perception scores are very NT.
like others, i'm not sure how well i feel the test discriminates (or can do). there were plenty of questions where i answered '?' because the true answer is, it all depends on the situation and how recognisable it is. my aspie scoring on 'talent' is closest to my own sense of my being. my nt scores on social and communication come down, to some extent, to high iq (figuring things out fast) and many years of pretending to be normal.
despite my reservations at how fully it reflects my sense of being aspie, i do like the spider diagram as a way of showing ourselves to each other and getting the 'shape' of our different selves.
oh dear. oh deary me. i had no idea that this kind of (over)theorising was beneath the spider diagram's multi-axis analysis. i assumed it was something to do with AS, not some megatheory of evolution!?
well. i do like the graphic shape as a way of seeing something in differences among us. but the meaning of the axes??!! this doesn't help me at all live my life - or see meaningful relationships with other people.
oh well, one blind alley a day is a pretty reasonable expectation.
see you in another thread.
According to
http://aq.server8.org/ I have an AQ of 40.
According to the Aspie Quiz I scored 163 for Aspie and 47 for NT.
Personally I don't think this is very accurate, though. I don't know.. I might be very Aspie and just good at hiding it but I don't really think I'm that Aspie. I mean I CAN be sociable, I just hate it and avoid it. If I try really hard to focus on people's faces I CAN know what they are feeling and when I should stop talking about my obsessive interest. If I can do those things I'm obviously not very Aspie. Well, that is what I thought. I do have some VERY Aspie traits, though. Like my obsessive interests, my exceptional memory for things that I'm interested in, my sensory problems, my inability to socialise amongst people who are not friends or similar to me, my absolutely HORRIBLE fine motor coordination and some other things.
oops! I meant ISN'T very accurate.
My point is, spectrumites are all so different and just because we don't fit stereotypes, doesn't mean we have AS "any less" than the next Aspie.
yep, i think that's what i enjoy about this thread. i'm uneasy about the stereotyping or pre-theorising that's implicit in the model that yields the graphs. but i love the way that we each have our own shape on the graph, and are sharing these.
it's VERY AFF isn't it :)
Holy cramoly! sao is so aspie, he makes the average aspie look like a neurotypical!
my score is a 170 out of 200
SocceFreak248: It isn't about your intelligence, it is about whether your intelligence mirrors the Aspie kind or the NT kind. Everyone possesses intelligence to varying degrees and this does not measure that.m
I could tell you much about the aspie quiz, and the people who run it...they are not autistic!
Please do.
