This Aspie quiz is NOT accurate!

I got a 33.


Based upon your responses to this autism screening measure, it appears that you may be suffering from an autism spectrum disorder, or Asperger's disorder. People who score similarly often qualify for a diagnosis of autism or Asperger's.

42, as always. It's a good number.

I scored a 44. I always score high on these tests and am high functioning autistic.

I've taken it a few times, and always get a 33 or 34. I think there are one or two questions that I am unsure about, so I pick the answer that fits best at the time.

I can't speak to the accuracy of the test, as I'm awaiting diagnosis, but I've scored in the AS/Autistic range for every available test online. I've had my neurotypical boyfriend take a few of them to see how he scores, and he's always in the NT range.

So, for us, someone who feels quite certain about having AS, and a definite NT, the test is accurate.

I got a 43. I haven't been dx, but things written about adult women with AS are the first things that I've ever read about adult women that I actually relate to and I relate to them eerily well. My NT husband has scored well within the NT ranges on these tests.

On the other test I got 151/200 AS and 62/200 NT the first time I took it (before reading anything about AS) and the second time I took it I got 160/200 AS and 55/200 NT (after I had read a bit and understood a couple of questions better). My husband scored pretty much the opposite of my second score except with a lower AS number than my NT number.

I'm reluctant to pursue a dx because there's nobody local who has a lot of experience with adult AS and with adult female AS specifically. If/when I find a person or center with that experience, I will probably choose to be evaluated. If I went to a place that specializes in children or men I don't think their assessment would be accurate so it would be a waste of time and money.

I got a 27.

I took it again (I think I took it before) and got 36.

I also did the add test on that site and got 55. That is moderate. 70+ is the highest.

I scored 42.

Funnily enough, the answer to Life, the Universe and Everything is 42

48

No quiz is accurate.

It's impossible to make an accurate judgement about someone, based only on the answers to multiple choice or "true or false" questions, which leave no room for explanations, clarifications, distinctions or discussions.

The same applies to statistics produced from surveys and things like that. They box you in, into using the surveyor's preset answers, which may not accurately represent what you have to say. All results are skewed by the surveyor's bias and subjective interpretation of an unreliable source of information.

The problem with quizes like this (and I've found with some of the rdos questions too), is that aspies can be perdantic and also asperger's black AND WHITE, and things, personality traits, can often swing both ways, even if they tend to one way or another in the general aspie population.

In terms of cut off the wired version states.

In the first major trial using the test, the average score in the control group was 16.4. Eighty percent of those diagnosed with autism or a related disorder scored 32 or higher.

And lets not forget that more males and probably more sevear cases where getting diagnosed back then....
Still even though I score 36, it's been a mission and a half to get a diagnosis, over 10 years in the process! (got pleny of other diagnosis along the way though). So the test may well be more accurate than a shrink, even with only a 80% about 32 confidence raiting.

Oh wouldn't you know it :
Agree: 2,4,5,6,7,9,12,16,18,19,20,21,22,23,33,35,39,41,43,46: 1 point
Disagree: 3,8,10,11,15,17,24,25,27,28,29,30,31,37,40,44: 1 point
Score: 36

I did answer some questions in a possibly odd way. For instance not getting the point of the joke, no I don't see the point in telling crap jokes.

I also applied a gung-ho filter when the answer could have been either way, that is removed the gung-ho aspects of my nature and just answered based on the collatoral damage.

There's also odd circular questions like this:
" I tend to notice details that others do not. " which reuires super natural mind reading abilities to answer.
and
"I don't usually notice small changes in a situation or a person's appearance."
Now how the hell am I supposed to know if I didn't notice them in a first place, esp given they are small and how small? Sometimes at first I notice small things but not big things and visa versa, but then at some point I do usually notice the big and small things (or some of them) that I didn't before (which is how I know I didn't notice them instantly).
I am good as word finding games and where's wally. etc...

I scored 28.

I was diagnosed as a young adult, but my psychiatrist said the last time, that he thinks I'm in the subclinical range now. But I'm not sure about it. When I was diagnosed, I scored 32 and higher. Now I seem to score between 24 and 28.

These online aspie questionnaires (closed ended or multiple choice) are only considered to be accurate in determining that you're traits correlate with the AS/HFA stereotype are done so with incisive contemplation or cogitation. Strategies that can be done to achieve this could be that you were paying meticulous attention to the questions written to you on paper, and then engage in deep retrospective thinking (approximately 30-60 seconds or more) in order to recall the autistic traits you exhibited when you were younger. You could also ponder about the traits you showed in the past while the closed ended questions are explicitly spoken out to you by the clinical psychologist administering the autism questionnaire. Failure to do so sufficiently would result in undesirably discrepant or biased scores, as "yes or no" or "strongly agree - strongly disagree" answers may not necessarily represent what you have expressed (surveyor bias). Or you could advertently hide some of the information regarding your collective histories from the surveyor (demand characteristics) as you are precisely aware of what is consisted within the pre-experimental questions and you are not going to be taken in by it. For these reasons, some people who think shorter than necessary when undergoing the test may score much lower or higher of what is anticipated of them. For example, you may score 23 the first time whilst thinking for only about 5-10 seconds on each question that is set out on the AQ test; whereas, you score 40 the second time while taking the test as you have extended your thinking time for up to 30-60 seconds on each question that is pre-set to you. Extraneous variables such as social phobia, lack of cogitation, giftedness, dishonesty, attention deficits, depression, lack of analytical thinking, extroversion, and high self-esteem may render the measured results of such questionnaires biased as they can alternatively explicate for the traits the participant exhibits.

I scored 49 out of 50 on the AQ test.
My aspie score is 186 out of 200.
I scored 231 out 240 on the Ritvo Autism Asperger Diagnostic Scale-Revised (RAADS-R).

Last time I think I got a score of around 24. With the aspie quiz I scored both NT as Aspie, which shows it is simply inaccurate. Both tests focus on the stereotype image but also leave out a lot of subjects such as being neat or chaotic and so forth.

I actually had difficulty with the AQ test as the questions were multi-interpretable. And what about the one where they ask you if you often feel like you're playing a role? (Don't remember whether it was from the AQ test or the aspie quiz)

If I'd "act" NT, yes I would. But I decide to be more myself. So my behavior is autistic, but it doesn't show in the answer. There're a lot of questions like that, where the answer may be no, but where the outcome in fact is a yes (in terms of autism traits)

Plus, I can deal with changing plans, do things spontaneously, et cetera. My AS shows itself in many different ways but they aren't asked.
