The Autism Spectrum Quotient

[Hotherym]

And I'm an excellent driver.

So is my guy friend--best I've ever seen. Coincidence?

 

[alicia91]

My score is 13.

 

[LunarMoon]

Looks like the score's 11 for me.

17

I think, in general, introverts -- especially intuitors -- are going to score higher than extraverts, and men are going to score higher than women. I get the feeling any INTP or INTJ thinkers are always going to score high to very high; my INTP guy friend scores 40, while my INFP man friend scores about 25, I think.

That's not surprising. I've heard several times that Asperger's Syndrome often does culminates into a collection of stereotypically maculine or Thinker-esque behaviorial traits: an interest in ideas and numbers over people, a lowered reaction to human emotion. Introverted Rationals seem to fit this to a T.

I got 17 as well, I'm satisfied with the results I suppose.

21. In the general "I'm not autistic" range. I see patterns and get REALLY into subjects all the time. However, I am highly extroverted and, if I may flatter myself, socially popular and high-functioning.

 

[MerkW]

Looks like I have the highest score yet (out of everyone here, that is).

 

[Leysing]

13.

I concentrate deeply and passionately on my interests... but I have many, and they're not weird. Music, equestrianism, nature, visual arts, psychology, hi-tech things and so on.

And I do very well in social situations and enjoy them even though I'm an Introvert

 

[clueless]

I got 30.

 

[Samuel De Mazarin]

14

If I were to have a mental/emotional/brain chemical disorder, I'd more likely be an hysteric than someone with autism.

 

[Ghost of the dead horse]

15, average..

oh, 15 is average for female, 17 for male.

 

[Virtual ghost]

32 in medium version

In bad version it would probably be another +5 points.

 

[JustDave]

Scored a 24, which is troubling as I had thought my score would have been lower.

 

[The Ü™]

I scored 36.

 

[Nocapszy]

26.

 

[colmena]

31. I'm feeling pretty good about myself compared to many of the other tests on here. I've definitely developed some weird habits, though.

You concisely summed up my situation. Overall I am "normal" but I do have a number of "odd" tendencies.

I think mine are more OCD-like and isolation induced than autism related.

I'll pick a shape in my mind, say an 8, and then will have to keep going through that shape with my eyeballs or body (minute movements, unnoticeable to others around). It used to keep me awake at night. It's the same with a circle: trying to make it so small that becomes a dot. I think that's actually impossible (which is very frustrating and wastes a lot of time).

The worst is the complete lack of emotional connection to music and film. That's something that's certainly developed. Where I'll look at little details and completely miss the big picture; the opposite of what I once was.

Interesting ... sometimes I cannot stop thinking of a particular word, lyric or short phrase. It keeps looping around in my mind. But that usually occurs only when I am stressed or very tired (which, come to think of it, is a form of stress ...)

Also, before I saw the movie Elektra i thought the fact that I tend to count the number of things that I put on a shelf, in a draw, etc was normal. Apparently it is not ...

 

[PuddleRiver]

24 for me.

 

[Haphazard]

I got a 13.

...

I guess I'm unusual around here.

There was a lot of stuff on fiction and imaginary things. I'm very good with imagination stuff. So I guess that's why I scored low?
