Aspies For Freedom

The classification tests for different types of mental variations and disorders is based on various "syndrome specific" questions.
» By asking a question like; "do you like to shake hands?", we probably think things like:
- "I'm an aspie, of course I don't like to shake hands!"
- "Am I not supposed to like to shake hands?"
- "Do they mean, shake hands with others, or to shake my hands?"
Thought's like this, could make us confused, and is probably also influencing the result.

» What if we first asked people, many totally trivial and irrelevant questions.
Things like, "do you like to drink coffee", "is a football round?", "does birds know how to fly?" and so on.
Questions that's totally unrelated to a specific syndrome or state of mind.

» And the person who answers have to have a 99% certain diagnosis. Like a very certain and classic ADD, HFA, Aspie, Tourette or Bipolar type.
- Then I believe it would be possible to see patterns like maybe 87% of the ADD's answer's "yes" to a question where 98% of the "normies" answer "no".

» In the next step i think It would be possible to sort the questions into groups, and run pretty sure diagnostics on almost anybody.
- And a good thing about the test, will be that nobody have to think about the questions, because the questions is not supposed to be understood. And you're just supposed to answer quickly, with the first thing that comes to your mind.

I no that by making this kind of test, we probably would have to make thousands of "stupid" questions, and end up with maybe 5% who is relevant for a good test.

- Another benefit with a "blind-test" like this, is that I think it probably would be possible to recognize other things about a classic type of mind, that we didn't know about before.

Is there any test's like this anywhere?
What do you think about a test like this?

The one that got me was "Do you see things that other people don't see?"  I have 20/15 vision, so, due to my greater-than-typical acuity, I DO see things that other people don't see.  Every time I answer "yes" to that question, I get grilled on what my "hallucinations" might be.

What's that?

And then there's those of us who have better than 20/20 vision and see "hallucinations"...

I see little bubbles in my field of vision quite often. Somewhere I read it is little cells that are floating in the aqueous humour of the eyeball.

In the USA, visual acuity is often measured as a ratio of the details one sees at a distance of 20 feet.  "20/20" means that one sees the level of detail that most people see at 20 feet. "20/15" means that one sees the level of detail that most people see at 15 feet.

I was once asked "Do you hear voices in your head?" I was 13 and answered "Yes." My Doctor wrote it down. I ran back in 5 minutes later and said "Oh! The voice I hear in my head is my own. It's my conscience!" As I didn't fully understand the question.

Some people might believe anything so to ask them all about symptoms of a certain illness they might plan on answering all of them to get a diagnosis. To answer random questions might be a good idea, and the doctor could pretend it was a friendly chat.
