How accurate is the Aspie Quiz?

Post Reply New Topic

they are not dynamic. When I filled mine out during my DX testing, it was on paper. (and it was exactly the same test as on line)

Strange, I do not remember it, but that is no guarantee that it was not there.

The question does not show up on the quiz results, but it only lists to 145 and I definately remember 150 questions (I was counting by 10s). So the results probably do not include the truth testing and study questions (which makes sense).

I finally took this test. My AS score was 159, NT score 49. According to that picture/graph thingie, I "looked" more autistic than I would have expected...

Generally, I liked this test much more than the AQ. The questions seemed much more straightforward and easy to answer, more "spot on". I also felt better about my answers generally, though a few are ambiguous and subject to interpretation. But all in all, this type of test seemed more geared to me...I sweated and struggled with the AQ somehow, some of the questions seemed too open and easy to interpret in different ways.

I only had trouble with question 94; it said "Are you gracious about criticism, correction and direction"? I wasn´t sure if they meant am I gracious giving it, or receiving it. So I just put "sometimes"....I actually think I am gracious about giving it, so if that was the interpretation they were after, that may have changed my score slightly, though not the overall results I guess...

For the record: there was no mention of dogs (or dog bites) in the test I just took.

Happy New Year everybody! (ugh....I hate this holiday though....)

Uhmm, wonder how they did the scoring on paper??

Yeah the Aspie-quiz is accurate, I still got no idea what the hunting thing means, though!

My entirely non-autistic friend who is ridiculously empathic, gifted but who dislikes many peers and doesn't think highly of social chit-chat of peers scored half-AS. I am a bit confused.

That friend could have AS, but just not been diagnosed yet.

My friend who doesn't have a lot of friend is NT. I had about the same score as Morgana. I didn't answered to all the questions though... I did another quizz called AQ I think. I had 38 but I didn't understand all the questions (what do they mean but "Do you see patterns in things all the time ?" ?).
I think some of them are misleading, you don't really know what they mean.

By the patterns thing they mean when you look at things (squared paper is one that works for me) do you see patterns form in it? If you dont know what I'm talking about then you probably dont see patterns in things.

No, that friend is absolutely non-autistic.

How do you come to that conclusion?

Because they're not meeting the criteria for AS, of course.

They're over-empathic, have relationships that are above their developmental level in quality and complexity, normal non-verbal expressive skills, high social and emotional reciprocity. No restrictive and narrow interests, no repetitive behaviours and mannerisms. No impairment.

That's as non-autistic as one can be.

It's a spectrum, everyone is effected differently, some have certain symptoms more than others, some have some symptoms not at all.

These are the official symptoms.

If one doesn't meet them, they're not autistic.

There's no 'not meeting any of the criteria' but 'nevertheless autistic'. That doesn't exist.

But if they meet some other criterias then they could be autistic...

Wait a moment, I summarised the criteria. That are all criteria there are.
