Particularly with the face and voice tests I often couldn't see any of the answers as remotely plausible. I just wild-guessed those ones so I could move on. I would have liked an "other" or "neither" option :?

I answered a couple of questions with "so" even though I had no idea what it was supposed to mean. But then, I had no idea what I was looking at, either. That option wasn't available in every case, however.

And I was guessing what seemed most plausible to me based on what I saw/heard, which I suppose counts as wild guesses given my final score.

Yup, "so" didn't make any sense to me either. Was it a typo?

Don't forget this one.

It's the most accurate I've seen in regards to the DSM-IV-TR.

It probably was a typo. Can you remember which questions this appeared on?

I seem to recall they were both in the videos, but I can't remember whether it was the facial mindreading video or the one with the scenes from a movie, let alone the actual numbers. Sorry. :(

I found them. In two of the voices tests, 'so' should have been 'so-so'. Sorry about that. :oops:
TBH I don't think 'so-so' is a very good description but I want to keep the tests as close as possible to the originals.

The original tests had handouts describing each of the emotions. Perhaps I should add something similar.

I am not sure if I can legally reproduce that test. With only 15 questions I am also not sure how reliable it is.

I know what you mean. I think an 'other' option was deliberately left out to force you to make a choice. From what I have been able to gather, quite a few people answer correctly even when they think they are guessing.

There's a spelling mistake where you enter your personal information:

Quote:
I have been diagnosed with an autsistic spectrum disorder such as Asperger's Syndrome or autism
I think I have an autsistic spectrum disorder such as Asperger's Syndrome or autism




Quote:
Test taken by you on 14 April 2012: your score was: 74.0 out of 140


Neat, that seems to be about right considering professional assessment as far as my performance in this social relationships stuff goes. Now, if I hadn't all these non-verbal, culture, routine and language issues, I'd probably be able to get along with people fairly okay.

Quote:
Test taken on 14 April 2012: You scored 16.0 out of 22 in 5.2 seconds


That was the most fun test about "reading the minds in the eyes" I took so far, thanks for sharing it. The results sound correct too. I am quite good at films/photos or when I am otherwise not involved in interaction/in a quiet place observing others because a major part of my difficulties with this stem from sensory processing dysfunction.

I think it would be useful if the videos had subtitles. I had trouble understanding what some of the people said(or is that part of the test?).

Oops. Thanks for letting me know. It's now fixed.

What happens when you try to take the test?

I don't think comprehending what they say is part of the test but I'm not sure if subtitles would affect the results or not.

The Friendship quotient: Test taken by you on 14 April 2012: your score was: 54.0 out of 140

One mistake in the wording:
"31) How easy to do you find it to make new friends?"


Reading the mind in films: Test taken on 14 April 2012: You scored 8.0 out of 22 in 12.7 seconds (I'm not a native speaker)

I guess I will leave out The Cambridge Mindreading Face-Voice Battery (too long and language specific)

Results of RAADS-R from the old thread:
Your total score is: 152. This is above the threshold score of 65. You may have an autistic spectrum disorder and it may be worth consulting a qualified clinician.

Here is a detailed breakdown of your results:

Social relatedness : 70 (threshold 31)
Language : 13 (threshold 4)
Sensory/motor : 35 (threshold 16)
Circumscribed Interests : 34 (threshold 15)

The Friendship Quotient: Test taken by you on 14 April 2012: your score was: 44.0 out of 140
Reading the minds in films: Test taken on 14 April 2012: You scored 11.0 out of 22 in 17.9 seconds (not a native speaker, had to translate some words in Google Translator, so I don't know if my results are valid)

I did these tests about a year ago:
The Cambridge Mindreading Face-Voice Battery - Part 1 (Voices) - 29
The Cambridge Mindreading Face-Voice Battery - Part 2 (Faces) - 34

But the tests were translated to my language by someone, who isn't fluent English speaker, so I don't know if they're valid (but a familiar neurotypical person scored high on them).

RAADS-R - I posted my result in other thread, they were in autistic range, but CBA to find it.

I just took the 'Reading the mind in films' test:

Test taken on 14 April 2012: You scored 17.0 out of 22 in 8.4 seconds


The average score for males with ASD is 11.4 out of 22 in 9.9 seconds
The average score for females with ASD is 11.0 out of 22 in 6.0 seconds
The average score for males with suspected ASD is 12.4 out of 22 in 9.3 seconds
The average score for females with suspected ASD is 13.4 out of 22 in 6.7 seconds
The average score for male neurotypicals is 10.8 out of 22 in 4.9 seconds
The average score for female neurotypicals is 15.6 out of 22 in 4.0 seconds



I don't know what to say; I've got a proper AS diagnosis and everything, but apparently I'm better at this than the average NT.
