You are very likely an aspie

-----------------------------------

I guess the eyes test is not that good, since it has multiple choice, its far easier that way...

I'm actually surprised at how well I did on the face test (63%), especially because I didn't actually recognize any of the faces (well, I recognized one person's nose) and mostly just hit the 2 key repeatedly. What can I say?

I'm pretty sure there were some where they just showed me the same face three times. In fact, I'd be completely certain if I hadn't just proven that I'm not qualified to make that distinction.

And just when I thought I'd learned to recognize people! Guess I just got good at distinguishing hair.

(Seriously, it would be nice if you'd give me some hair and skin color.)

Took the Cambridge Face Memory Test.

I knew I wasn't too hot at recognizing faces, but holy cow...that thing was HARD. I scored 69%, which was really borderline (65% being face-blind), and I honestly don't understand how anybody could've gotten 80% on that thing, especially with the third part. I SUCKED at that.

I wonder if my artistic abilities were what caused me to score above the threshold. I honestly think that's the only reason I didn't fail--I trained myself on how to spot traits I wanted to draw.


13 on the HSP test...borderline again.



The Aspie/NT test...man, I couldn't have gotten a more inconclusive result. Aspie 109/200, NT 110/200.

Average categories:
NT talent (5.5--average)
Aspie compulsion (4.7--average. Thought this was going to be higher, actually...)
Aspie social (5.6--average)
NT social (4.8--average. I have a pretty good understanding of what's happening with normal social activities...it's just an issue of being shy or disliking it.)
Aspie communication (5.5--average)
Aspie hunting (3.8--average)
NT hunting (6.1--average)
Aspie perception (4.2--average)

Aspie-like categories:
Aspie talent (8/10--above average)
NT compulsion (3/10--below average. Pop culture bores the daylights out of me. And I can only masquerade as normal during work hours, and even then my quirks get out around the tech guy. )
NT perception (2.4--below average. I laughed my butt off when I saw THIS one!! !! ! SO true, so true!)
Environment (7.2--above average)

NT-like categories:
NT communication (7.7--above average. I can be literal sometimes, but not badly. I may not recognize your face if I saw it again, but I'll recognize the emotion on it. Give me something to write with and I can pull your heartstrings. I may not be so eloquent IRL, though.)


Does kinda make me think that maybe ADHD really IS an NT/Aspie hybrid after all.

The HSP test: 24/27, you guys. Almost as sensitive as you can get. Two didn't apply because of my general obliviousness, and a third didn't because I was very outgoing as a child.

My result for The Broad Autism Phenotype Test (http://www.okcupid.com/tests/the-broad- ... otype-test):
* You scored 69 aloof, 56 rigid and 79 pragmatic
* You scored above the cutoff on the Pragmatic scale, regarding the social use of language. This suggests you likely have some trouble with communication, which is probably more evident in informal, social settings than in more formalized settings where the expectations are explicitly stated. On the other hand, since you scored below the cutoff for aloof and rigid personality, you are probably fairly sociable and flexible about change. You are probably on the broader autistic phenotype.
Comment: Yep, this is spot on.

My score on the Wired AQ test (http://www.wired.com/wired/archive/9.12/aqtest.html): 23

SoSayWeAll, I think I'm a little more aspie than you are. Still pretty in-between, though.
* Your Aspie score: 116 of 200
* Your neurotypical (non-autistic) score: 95 of 200
* You seem to have both Aspie and neurotypical traits.
Comment: That fits with my feeling that I have one foot on the spectrum and the other in the NT world...

Average:
* Aspie compulsion: 5.5/10 (I expected this to be a lot higher, given that I've had special interests since I was about 4).
* Neurotypical social: 5.8/10--Average. (This seems about right. I can make small talk, I just find it unsatisfying and exhausting. I can perceive others' body language and facial expressions just fine, I just have a blind spot about how my own appears to others. I can often feel others' emotions and detect small changes in their tone of voice, but I have to ask why they're feeling that way. I can think through social situations well, but I process too slowly to pick things up in the moment. I'm terrible at phone calls, but I can write a killer email. It all comes out average in the end, I guess. :-/)
* Aspie communication: 5.2/10. No idea if this is accurate.
* Neurotypical communication: 5.1/10. This is pretty accurate, I think.
* Neurotypical hunting: 4.0/10
* Aspie perception: 5.6/10
* NT perception: 5.1/10

Aspie-Like:
* Aspie talent: 7.8/10
* Neurotypical talent: 1.8/10 (lol, that's almost as low as it can get. )
* Neurotypical compulsion: 3.4/10--probably a little below average.
* Aspie social: 6.7/10
* Environment: 7.3/10

NT-like:
* Aspie hunting: 2.4/10--Way below average. I'm thinking my lack of visual perceptiveness and general obliviousness contributed.

"Does kinda make me think that maybe ADHD really IS an NT/Aspie hybrid after all. Wink" Yeah, pretty much!

It was also my reaction when I scored 65/ 2 percentile. I still don't know where my answers were wrong.

1) Broad Autism Phenotype------Aloof Personality You scored 89 aloof, 71 rigid and 68 pragmatic
2) Autism Spectrum Quotient-----28 (averaged over 2 attempts)
3) EQ/SQ------------------------ 43/38 (did not get rating..)
4) Emotional intelligence--------- Not done
5) Highly Sensitive Person-------- 13
6) Facial expression-------------- can't be bothered
7) Face blindness---------------- can't be bothered

Andy's procrastination test------- I'll get back to it.

Your result for The Broad Autism Phenotype Test ...
Autistic/BAP
You scored 124 aloof, 114 rigid and 118 pragmatic
You scored above the cutoff on all three scales. Clearly, you are either autistic or on the broader autistic phenotype. You probably are not very social, and when you do interact with others, you come off as strange or rude without meaning to. You probably also like things to be familiar and predictable and don't like changes, especially unexpected ones.


EQ; 18

What is your emotional IQ?
Self-report Component
Subscale IQ score = 55
Subscale percentile = 0.13
According to your self-report answers, your emotional intelligence is very poor. People who score like you do feel that they have trouble dealing with their own emotions and those of others. They struggle to overcome difficulties in their lives and they are unable to control their moods. It's hard for them to understand how best to motivate themselves and reach their goals. In addition, they find social interactions quite difficult, for several reasons. They may have trouble allowing themselves to get close with others, finding it difficult to be vulnerable enough to establish intimacy. They also report having trouble offering support to others, likely due to the fact that they do not understand where others are coming from or they lack ideas about how best to help. Perhaps by working on your problem areas, you can become more confident in dealing with your own emotions and those of others.


You have indicated that 20 of the items are true of you.
Scoring:
If you answered more than fourteen of the questions as true of yourself, you are probably highly sensitive. But no psychological test is so accurate that an individual should base his or her life on it. We psychologists try to develop good questions, then decide on the cut off based on the average response.


Reading the mind in the eyes
Your score: 29
A typical score is in the range 22-30. If you scored over 30,
you are very accurate at decoding a person's facial expressions
around their eyes. A score under 22 indicates you find this quite difficult.


Results
Out of 72 faces, you correctly identified 52.
In other words, you got 72% correct.
On our previous version of this test, the average person with normal face recognition was able to recognize about 80% of the faces. If you correctly identified less than 65% of the faces, this may indicate face recognition difficulties.


Personality Disorder Test
Paranoid: High
Schizoid: High
Schizotypal: High
Antisocial: High
Borderline: Moderate
Histrionic: High
Narcissistic: Very High
Avoidant: Very High
Dependent:High
Obsessive-Compulsive:High

Your calculated IQ is: 104 (normal)


First one I took just as a whim:
Your Aspie score: 119 of 200
Your neurotypical (non-autistic) score: 80 of 200
You are very likely an Aspie

Second one I took after I put more thought into the questions:
Your Aspie score: 134 of 200
Your neurotypical (non-autistic) score: 61 of 200
You are very likely an Aspie

I don't see alot of graphs with the "sword" shape where it's extended a lot further in one direction rather than being quite rounded on the aspie side. I wonder if this means something??? Heh, I read down further on the printout and here's what I found:
Aspie compulsion
This group contains obsessive and compulsive Aspie traits. Typical of this group is a preference for sameness (e.g. routines; lists; schedules; sitting on the same seat; going to the same shop;
wearing the same clothes; eating the same food; always doing things in the same way). Related traits include getting frustrated when interrupted and a need to prepare oneself before doing
new things. Some people have strong attachments to objects and like to collect and organize things and may need precision or symmetry.
Diagnostic relation
A high score is related to Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD).
Your group score: 9.2 of 10 (above average).

Apparently I'm alot more OCD than I thought I was.

Sounds like me.

1. Autistic/BAP: You scored 102 aloof, 103 rigid and 89 pragmatic. Clearly, you are either autistic or on the broader autistic phenotype.
2. Autism Spectrum Quotient: 40.
3. EQ/SQ: 32/57 - Extreme Systemizing
4. EIQ: 57
5. HSP: 20
6. Facial Expression: 29 (I don't really have a problem in this area)
7. Couldn't be bothered

RDOS: Your Aspie score: 139 of 200. Your neurotypical (non-autistic) score: 80 of 200. You are very likely an Aspie.

I scored 35 on the ASQ test earlier in the week. I wonder whether my meltdown earlier today had an effect on this or other scores.

BAP scores: 109 aloof, 121 rigid and 89 pragmatic.

The Autism Spectrum Quotient (AQ) test (Baron-Cohen et al., 2001) :
Agree: 2,4,5,12,13,16,18,22,23,26,33,35,39,41,42,43,45,46: 1 point
Disagree: 1,11,15,17,24,25,27,28,31,34,38,44,47: 1 point
Score: 31

Your Systemizing (SQ) and Empathizing (EQ) Quotient Test Results:
Your Score 31 44 Extreme Systemizing

The Highly Sensitive Person (HSP) test (Aron, 1996):
Self-Test Results
You have indicated that 16 of the items are true of you.

Aspie-quiz
Your Aspie score: 142 of 200
Your neurotypical (non-autistic) score: 68 of 200
You are very likely an Aspie

Should I take these tests as good evidence that I'm an undiagnosed Aspie?

Here are my results.

Broad Autism Phenotype Test:



Your result for The Broad Autism Phenotype Test ...
Autistic/BAP

The AQ Test: I have taken this before.


[/b] The EQ and SQ tests: [/b]
Click here to share your EQ SQ scores on your blog.

Respondent Average EQ Average SQ Brain Type
Males 39.0 61.2 Systemizing
Females 48.0 51.7 Empathizing
Your Score 25 35 Extreme Systemizing

What does your score mean?

Generally, the higher the score the greater your natural ability for that trait. However, the EQ test has 40 questions compared to 75 in the SQ test. As a result, although the unprocessed quotients may be used for comparing each trait ability between individuals, the absolute scores do not tell an individual if he or she has a greater tendency to empathize or systemize. A calculation taking into account the quantity of questions in each test is used to determine a person's brain type along the following continuum:

* Extreme Empathizing (Extreme E)
* Empathizing (E)
* Balanced (B)
* Systemizing (S)
* Extreme Systemizing (Extreme S)

Brain Types of Experimental Control Groups
Respondent Extreme E E Balanced S Extreme S
Males 0% 17% 31% 46% 6%
Females 7% 47% 32% 14% 0%

The important factor to consider is not your absolute score, but the difference between the two. This indicates whether you have more natural ability as an Empathizer or a Systemizer. If your scores are about the same for your EQ and SQ, then you have well balanced empathizing-systemizing capabilities.

I swore i would get empathyzing. poop.

According to your self-report answers, your emotional intelligence is somewhat poor. People who score like you may at times feel that they have trouble dealing with their own emotions and those of others. They sometimes struggle to overcome difficulties in their lives and they are not always able to control their moods. It may be hard for them to understand how best to motivate themselves to overcome obstacles and reach their goals. In addition, they find social interactions difficult at times, for several reasons. They may have trouble allowing themselves to get close with others, finding it difficult to be vulnerable enough to establish intimacy or perhaps lacking understanding of, or comfort with, social interactions. Perhaps by working on your problem areas, you can become more confident in dealing with your own emotions and those of others.

I thought I would do well on this. I was going to say i was surprised, but then i realized I was sad. :/

what I got:

1. Rigid personality (79 aloof, 96 rigid, 71 pragmatic)
2. Score = 25
3. 37 (for both)
4. Subscale IQ = 108, subscale percentile = 70
5. 18 items were true of me
6. Score = 21
7. (this one was weird – it doesn’t seem like I’m very good at it)

I thought I was doing better socially than what I thought, I got new feedback from people... so I have to take these tests again:


Autistic/BAP

You scored 96 aloof, 93 rigid and 95 pragmatic
You scored above the cutoff on all three scales. Clearly, you are either autistic or on the broader autistic phenotype. You probably are not very social, and when you do interact with others, you come off as strange or rude without meaning to. You probably also like things to be familiar and predictable and don't like changes, especially unexpected ones.

AQ:
Score: 29

EQ/SQ:
Your Score 23 84 Extreme Systemizing

Highly Sensitive:
You have indicated that 24 of the items are true of you.

Scoring:
If you answered more than fourteen of the questions as true of yourself, you are probably highly sensitive. But no psychological test is so accurate that an individual should base his or her life on it. We psychologists try to develop good questions, then decide on the cut off based on the average response.

If fewer questions are true of you, but extremely true, that might also justify calling you highly sensitive.

Mind in the Eyes:
Your score: 26
A typical score is in the range 22-30. If you scored over 30,
you are very accurate at decoding a person's facial expressions
around their eyes. A score under 22 indicates you find this quite difficult. The correct answers for the ones you missed are:

The face blindness test I remembered I did poorly on before and don't want to take it again

The queendom test, ehh, I don't want to pay for full results

Your Aspie score: 130 of 200
Your neurotypical (non-autistic) score: 91 of 200
You are very likely an Aspie

Took the BAP test...

"Socially Odd"

You scored 107 aloof, 80 rigid and 94 pragmatic
You score above the cutoff for both aloof personality and social communication difficulties, which means you have decreased interest in interaction and also probably find it hard to communicate effectively in social situations. These two categories may be interrelated - someone who is fairly aloof doesn't practice interacting with others as much, and someone who finds it hard to interact with others may decide to find other things to interest themselves. However, you're probably reasonably flexible and not particularly upset by new situations, changes in routine or trying something a new way. You may be on the broader autistic phenotype, or actually autistic.


About the expected level of "vague" for me, in terms of what's going on and where it comes from.

Here are my results. I had a feeling about a lot of the results I would get. Should I consider this indication that I am an undiagnosed aspie?

1BAPQ

5 HSP = 21

6 Reading of the mind eyes = 21 but I agree there were some words I didnt know the meaning = difficulty reading the mind in eyes

7 Face memory test = 78%

Rdos aspie quiz
Your Aspie score: 170 of 200
Your neurotypical (non-autistic) score: 41 of 200
You are very likely an Aspie

I scored a 28 on the AQ Test. On the Aspie Quiz my score was 150/72.

BAP Test: Autistic/BAP
You scored 105 aloof, 123 rigid and 92 pragmatic

You scored above the cutoff on all three scales. Clearly, you are either autistic or on the broader autistic phenotype. You probably are not very social, and when you do interact with others, you come off as strange or rude without meaning to. You probably also like things to be familiar and predictable and don't like changes, especially unexpected ones.

Would scores like this be indicative of mild Asperger's?
