Broad Autism Phenotype Test

Post Reply New Topic

Your result for The Broad Autism Phenotype Test ...
Autistic/BAP

You scored 100 aloof, 107 rigid and 90 pragmatic
You scored above the cutoff on all three scales. Clearly, you are either autistic or on the broader autistic phenotype. You probably are not very social, and when you do interact with others, you come off as strange or rude without meaning to. You probably also like things to be familiar and predictable and don't like changes, especially unexpected ones.
Your Analysis (Vertical line = Average)
aloof Distribution

You scored 100% on aloof, higher than 50% of your peers.
*rigid Distribution

You scored 107% on rigid, higher than 78% of your peers.
*pragmatic Distribution

You scored 90% on pragmatic, higher than 55% of your peers.

Autistic/BAP

You scored 106 aloof, 92 rigid and 100 pragmatic

You scored above the cutoff on all three scales. Clearly, you are either autistic or on the broader autistic phenotype. You probably are not very social, and when you do interact with others, you come off as strange or rude without meaning to. You probably also like things to be familiar and predictable and don't like changes, especially unexpected ones.

Aloof and rigid
You scored 112 aloof, 89 rigid and 70 pragmatic

You score above the cutoff for both aloof personality and rigid personality, which means you're probably not very interested in interacting with other people and don't like changes. You might have a tendency to be fairly controlling in interactions or prefer doing things by yourself partly because you have more control. However, when you decide to interact, you probably don't have too much difficulty communicating with the other person and making a good impression. You are probably either on the broader autistic phenotype or actually autistic.

This summation is spot on

:roll: ...then it makes no sense for us to take this test. It's only for NTs.

Must be why everyone seems to be getting fairly high scores. There's been quite a bit of research concerning the parents and siblings of those with autism, and this test was developed to try to measure the personality and developmental factors in parents that can contribute to a diagnosable autism spectrum disorder in children. Evidently, they've found that if both parents score high on the Broader Autism Phenotype Test, the higher the likelihood of a child being diagnosed with ASD.

As someone who is not diagnosed, it is interesting to see the scores . . .

"You scored 112 aloof, 107 rigid and 124 pragmatic."

I got 8% on Diagnostic, too, placing me above 88% of my so-called "peers"...

But then you'd have to be interested in YOUR PARENTS' SCORES on this test, to 'predict' you having ASD.

"Predict" might have been too strong of a word for me to use - "be contributing factors" might be more correct.

I would be interested in my parent's scores, except my father (who I'd say had some ASD issues) is gone. It would also be interesting to consider my scores if I thought of having children . . .

Huh, interesting. o:

I ought to join this site just so it keeps track of all my scores, haha. -goes to take more quizzes-

115 aloof, 111 rigid and 114 pragmatic

I just a few minutes ago scored 130 on the Aloof sub-scale, 118 on the Rigid sub-scale, and 120 on the Pragmatic sub-scale.
