Blimey, what a day.
The reason for points raising is probably growing self awareness.

I took the one on aspietestsdotorg and averaged 144 in three tests.

But...i love you guys. I struggle so much with tests and tests like these because they ask questions that have exceptions or require explanation..and yet only provide black and white answers.
I kept looking for a 'most of the time', or 'sometimes' choices. Or a way to say - i wouldn't choose to go to a restaurant by myself, nor with others; i'd choose not to go at all.

That said, the above mentioned love is because of all of the posts that reference similar issues. I always knew i "over"analyzed..more than others seem to..and had issues with these things others don't seem to. But, it never remotely occurred to me that these struggles were an aspie thing..or that others had them too.

I never thought i took things too literally but perhaps i do - which is another flaw of such tests as they require a degree of self-awareness often only achieved outside oneself (e.g. it asks about unique ways of thinking..how do i know if my way is "unique"? I've never been in someone else's head!)...

I'm soooo happy though to read these replies of those that also struggle with selecting exclusively finite answers for a variety of potential situations.
I feel like i'm home/normal for the first time!

I got a 10. Printed it off to let my Aspie hubby take a crack at it.

I scored 193.

RAADS-r and the EQ test are the most accurate imo.

Did you all find the link on page 1 in this thread? I can´t find it, so I´ve only tried the short online one.

I took it, trying best to remember what I was like when I was young. I only have fragments of memories before 16 years of age. But most of how I am now, I was then as well. I scored a 221. My AQ was 43. I even double checked my answers afterwards with my wife of 14 years and she agreed with them. Dodger.

I think mine was 165.

145.
Once I got 167 and another day 136.

Middle ground again.. Just like most Austism tests.

It describes me well though I think, I don't generally fit in with NT's or with those on the Austisic Spectrum.

192.

I am diagnosed with high functioning ASD level 2.

120

I'm doing this in a clinical setting with a psychiatrist whenever I get my appointment through so it'll be interesting to see how the clinical score differs.

I find some of the questions ask you to choose 'Never' or 'Always' answers when I'd like to put 'sometimes'! I went for the never answer just to be safe.

I also over analysed most of the questions but sounds like I'm not alone in that.

Could someone explain the filing card thoughts thing to me? I said no to that but am curious to know what it means.

My test taken Dec was 109 still don"t know what it means.

I don't remember what mine was top of the head, but I have lower scores in the social skills section (because they have improved a lot since I was a kid) and the highest score section is special interests (because I have very intense ones obviously)
