This Aspie quiz is NOT accurate!

28 ive also heard some where the cut off may be diferent in males and females

Score: 33

44...

I've taken the AQ test about 4 times over the past twelve months, in this time I've gotten 48, 32, 34 and 20 - all based on how I look at things.

It's bullshit!

My scores change depending on how I feel about myself or how I interpret the questions and nothing is black and white and the answers happen to be so I have to pick one of them. Either agree or disagree. I hate black and white answers.

My husband scored a 27 on this when I had him take it. I wasn't surprised since he isn't a normal NT. I was expecting he may score in the aspie range but close. He still got above average.

The AQ test is good to see if you're introverted or not.

It's just that most with an ASD will be introverted due to the ASD.

I'm sure you can see the error in the reasoning of such when you look at it that way.

Perhaps the RAADS-R is even more accurate for adults:

Are you Neurotypical?

33 here. I have scored between 29-33 everytime I've taken it. I find the RDOS test to be more specific and therefore a better test.

Either way, I feel like I have mild Asperger's so maybe the test is accurate for me.

Most questons of AQ have nothing to do with being introvert and extrovert. In some (expecially in the "attention to detail" thing) I suspect that perhaps extroverts could have higher scores than introverts.

No?

Here you go (I stopped at about 20 as I'm too lazy to go on, but I know it'll be the same with the other 30):

I prefer to do things with others rather than on my own. {Introvert will answer no}
I often notice small sounds when others do not. {Introvert is more sensitive to the environment; they have heightened senses}
In a social group, I can easily keep track of several different people's conversations. {Introvert has problems with lots of stimuli}
I find social situations easy. {Introvert can find it hard depending on many factors}
I tend to notice details that others do not. {Sensitive introvert; heightened senses}
I would rather go to a library than to a party. {Introvert}
I find myself drawn more strongly to people than to things. {Introvert will more than likely say no to this open question}

That's almost half of almost half of the test.

It does say "Not a diagnostic tool", so i wouldn't get too worked up about it either way.

40 this time around, but I am not diagnosed with Aspergers.

I am diagnosed with Social Anxiety and Depression and was awarded disability because "I cannot cope with social interaction and change". Both seem to upset me....

Who knows what is causing what, I really just want to stay in my own little world and stop trying to be normal like everyone else out there. Its far too stressful, far too tiring and really I am mostly happy by myself tinkering around with my hobbies anyway (which is presently evolution, palaeogeology and palaeontology....so I am doing a BSc with the Open University in the Earth/Life Sciences). I also like my routines thank you very much and no I am sorry but social chit chat in the usual sense (ie gossip, small talk etc) bores me senseless. Socialising is like torture!

But I have to go for therapy and my therapists think they can make me normal.

Excuse me whilst I choke with laughter. I was never normal, not even as a kid and it just feels like they are trying to change my wiring and not some anxiety disorder that suddenly manifested itself in later life. So tired of the world trying to change me, when I can only really be who I am.

I think psy's are confusing aspergers for emo.

Scored 43..

I got 41

My score is 42.

What empathy questions? I couldn't even find them.
