New Aspie Quiz (one with eyes)

Post Reply New Topic

if sexual was an option, i chose it

they should probably have a way of testing to see if you are horny, so they can correct the scoring

but damn....166 and 36

and i just found out i'm likely an aspie a week ago...

Your Aspie score: 146 of 200
Your neurotypical (non-autistic) score: 56 of 200
You are very likely an Aspie

I took this test not too long ago without the eyes section. My scores then were:

Your Aspie score: 145 of 200
Your neurotypical (non-autistic) score: 62 of 200
You are very likely an Aspie


This time around, with the eyes section, my scores were:

Your Aspie score: 142 of 200
Your neurotypical (non-autistic) score: 74 of 200
You are very likely an Aspie


Not too much of a difference.

OK, to clarify what I did with the eyes, which is derived from Simon-Baron Cohens test.

First, I just run the original test in Aspie Quiz to see if it had any relevance for adults. The result on that trial is more or less that it lack relevance, and that the Aspie and neurotypical group gave almost similar answers.

Next, I thought I might get better results if I selected better alternatives, as I suspect that Simon-Baron Cohen just selected non-correct alternatives more or less randomly. Thus, I created a list of 85 different emotions, and let people select any emotion for any eye-picture. Then I eliminated alternatives by using the alternatives that best discriminated between the groups in an iteractive process. I got down to 16, 10, 8, 6, 4 and eventually 3 alternatives. While I got better relevance, and up to 16% differences between the groups on some eye-pictures, the final version really didn't do much better than the original. About half of the eye-pictures got "staring" as an alternative (all these alternatives had higher scores in the Aspie population).

The score does not depend on which alternatives people selected on the eyes part. That's also why they are not part of the pdf. And since none of the eyes had any correlation to ordinary Aspie Quiz questions, there will be no eyes in Aspie Quiz. The initial conclusion that such a test lack relevance for adults stands even with optimal alternatives.

Here is a link to an Autism/Aspergers test that tracks eye movements.
