I did a couple of these tests several years ago, but I've forgotten what the actual
scores were. They were similar to now, though. I'm basically in the middle.
Test taken 1st Aug 2017
Total score 131.0
Language 8.0
Social Relatedness 86.0
Sensory/Motor 20.0
Circumscribed Interests 17.0
Like most people I wasn't sure how to answer some questions. I've had a lifelong
interest in religion. I started with Greek and Roman mythology at about the age of
8 or 9. I used to get books on it from the children's section of the local library, then
I got into Buddhism at the age of 12 and I collected all of the Man,Myth and Magic
part works. I abandoned Christianity (I was baptised C of E) sometime in my 30s
and evolved my own philosophy and I've lately become interested in Taoism.
The thing is, though, I don't study it in an obsessive kind of way and I can get
interested in other things as well, so I don't know if it counts as a circumscribed
interest or not.

Thanks for replying and taking the test! Sorry I couldn't get back to you until now. I find it extremely difficult to tell the difference between a special interest and a "normal" interest, since the term is subjective. I usually consider something a special interest if I get very passionate about it, it brings me this amazing sense of joy, and I spend all day immersed in it (or I wish I could spend all day immersed in it). I should create a test- "Is my interest a special interest" lol (joke
). But I do think some sort of scale would be quite helpful .

Some of them I am unsure how to answer, but I realize some are based on stereotype answers. Like, not being held/hug for me, is quite the opposite. I want to hug or be held by many people, and it's like a craving for me. So it is a sensory thing, but the opposite that was proposed in the question. But overall, I don't have that many sensory/motor, just like loud/annoying noises, clothes tags, rock back-and-forth, shake hands, just kinda minor stuff. Many of my motor things only occur when I'm excited, which tends to be rare these days.

Thanks for taking the test. I agree that some of the questions are quite stereotypical.

It's interesting to see how much people's scores vary. I got two of my friends to take this quiz, and one scored 94 and the other scored 30.

I agree it is quite fun and interesting to see how scores compare!

Yeah, that makes sense - considering you made a whole thread for people to do just that.
Am I correct in thinking that the threshold is something like 64? Does anyone know what the total threshold score is?

I believe it is 65? I looked at the data table and it said the threshold was 65.

Ah right, I wasn't far off then.

I'm screwed.
I'm screwed.
Why are you screwed?
That's a pretty high score is it not? I mean, I can't figure out what to say 90% of the time and when I was on a raft trip in Jasper, people on the boat were asking my family if I was high, if I was ok. I'm apparently so weird that I can't even put on a straight face or normal appearance. I wasn't high and I was just fine.
What I mean is like, is this what Aspergers is?
That is a score above the clinical threshold. Having autism doesn't mean that you are wrong or screwed, though. It's a disability, so it can make "normal" things extremely difficult, but that doesn't mean you are a bad person for having it
