Set of scientific tests related to Autism Spectrum Disorders

Post Reply New Topic

Because we can´t view ourselves objectively from the outside.
We may think, that our thoughts and behavior is completely typical, whereas a trained eye would spot several mini-traits or major traits in a matter of minutes.

Yes, if you use them systematically, they can give a hint. A chosen set of tests done, say once a month for three months should give an indication.

1. The Broad Autism Phenotype Questionnaire
Autistic/BAP

You scored 106 aloof, 105 rigid and 93 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.

2. The Autism Spectrum Quotient (AQ) Test
39-42 / 50 (I took it a few times before)

3. The Empathizing Quotient and Systemizing Quotient
The link seems dead but I found the year 2003 one: http://personality-testing.info/tests/EQSQ.php

Your Empathizing Quotient is 5. Baron-Cohen (2003) suggests that this means "you have a lower than average ability for understanding how other people feel and responding appropriately".

Your Systemizing Quotient is 54. Baron-Cohen (2003) suggests that this means "you have an above average ability for analysing and exploring a system".

Looks like I am a Extreme Systemizer (Systematizing above average 54/80, empathizing bottom low 5/80).

4.The EIQ (Emotional Intelligence Quotient) Test
50/100
You appear to have at least some basic skill when it comes to identifying, perceiving and expressing emotions in yourself and others. However, there is still a great deal of room to improve on this core ability. Review the results below for further information in order to identify where improvement is recommended. By improving your skills in this area of emotional intelligence, you will be in a better position to read others, understand how they feel, and effectively identify your own emotions. These skills form the basis of your ability to relate to others as well as your ability to understand yourself.

5.The Highly Sensitive Person (HSP) test
20/27
If you answered more than fourteen of the questions as true of yourself, you are probably highly sensitive.

6. Understanding facial expression test: The 'Reading the mind in the eyes' test
I'm not in mood of doing the test again right now (it is a really hard and confusing test for me) but I done it a few times before and I got 23/36 or 24/37.

7. Face blindness / Prosopagnosia test (https://www.faceblind.org/facetests/ff/ff_intro.php)
Out of 30 faces, you correctly identified 7.
You were familiar with 19 of the people in this test.

If we exclude the ones you were unfamiliar with, you got 37% correct.

On our previous version of this test, the average person with normal face recognition was able to recognize about 85% of the faces they were familiar with. If you missed more than half of the faces you were familiar with, this may indicate face recognition difficulties.

8. Aspie Quiz:

Your neurodiverse (Aspie) score: 178 of 200
Your neurotypical (non-autistic) score: 32 of 200
You are very likely neurodiverse (Aspie)
(11-03-2014)

Twój wynik Aspi: 176 na 200
Twój wynik neurotypowy (nieautystyczny): 33 na 200
Wykazujesz wiekszosc cech Aspi
(13-02-2015)


In the end - all of the tests indicate I am in the spectrum.

of fine that is a great information which would hep me in m research paper

Empathy Quotient (EQ) Score: 8.0
Systemising Quotient (SQ) Score: 79.0

I didn't know my EQ was that bad

Broad Autism Phenotype Test:
You scored 123 aloof, 118 rigid and 107 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.

Autism Spectrum Quotient Score: 43

Emotional Intelligence Score: 37

Your results indicate that you need to work on improving the skills that can help you identify, perceive and express emotions in yourself and others. Difficulties in this area of emotional intelligence can hinder your ability to read others, to understand how they feel, and to effectively identify your own emotions. Lacking these skills could mean that you struggle to relate to others and may sometimes even question why you yourself behave the way you do. Review the results below for further information in order to identify where improvement is recommended.

Highly Sensitive Person Test: 22 out of 27

Reading the Mind in the Eyes Test Score: 16
An average test for this score is 26.2, or 21.9 for a person with Asperger Syndrome or High-Functioning Autism


Face Blindness Test: 69%

Thank you.

Only test numbers two and four worked for me.

I have recently met another self diagnosed aspie in my area who visited a Professor who is an Aspergers expert.
He talked to him for 25 minutes and was told simply he "was not autistic".

Apparently the conversation was very shallow (I suppose he was looking for behavioural indicators and judging this by his Professorial gut feeling! ................. however this person is an experienced adult who has learned to mask the worst of his traits for over 40 years)

This utterly confused him, as on all tests (except facial recognition) he scored well in the Neuro diverse or likelihood of Aspergers/autism range.

The professor made this assumption from talking with him. Only upon leaving did he give him some of the tests to fill in at home. These were duly filled in and self scored as firmly within the Aspergers range.

Surely if he was going to use written tests these should have been filled in before the interview so as to advise any conclusions made!

What do you make of this swift and seemingly cursory dismissal by an authority on Aspergers?

MAJOR PROBLEM HERE:

If you give a damn about your "tests", that is

No. 1 (broad autism phenotype questionnaire) doesn't give you a score at the end,
and it's nothing more than a lead up to signing up to a stupid dating site (okcupid)

really ?

how could you post this as an actual test ???

please take it off the list immediately and don't waste anyone else's time

You don´t have to use the links here. These tests can be found on various sites by name. An ok place is AspieCentral.
