i scored 37.but i tried as much to be non aspie.yet my score is high enough to be on aspie side

The whole point of taking the test is to be open, relaxed and honest and not try to 'outhink' it. what's the point of trying to bend the results one way or another.

37.
I'm still don't know if I have it or not...

It's kinda hard not to have some kind of bias when you know what it's testing for, thats one of the problems with these kind of tests anyway.

46

Cohen found that 40% of those who score over the PDD cut-off (26 or so), had one of the disorders if they weren't actually diagnosed with one already. He wrote the test. The paper isn't hard to find (I'm going by memory here with the "26" and "40%" figures, but I'm sure they're dead on or really close to the actual numbers).

Why take the test in the first place if you're already anticipating the outcome. The mistake was probably naming the test the AQ test. It should be called the mr/miss congeniality test and then people wouldn't know how to answer the questions. I think the scores would be very different if that were the case.

...DXd .

Other researchers also found that NT's could score as high on the test as those on the spectrum so what does that say?

27-28

Not the first time I take this test, not the first time I get this result either, hmnn.

I am not diagnosed and I am not sure I have AS either.

39-undiagnosed

edit: just after i posted this, i went for my appointment with my psychologist who is the best in this area.I felt very comfortable with him and he diagnosed Aspergers Syndrome.It was my first visit with him.I feel as if a whole weight has been lifted off my shoulders.i can now move on in life.I feel liberated.Future visits to him will make my life alot easier im sure.

39 - Diagnosed. (average score on 'Aspie Quiz' = 166)

I actually don't particularly like this test, as so many questions really depend on the context, and there is no neutral response. I particularly dislike question 30 - "I don't usually notice small changes in a situation, or [in] a person's appearance" - I can pick up on minute changes in a physical setting (situation), but almost never notice changes in a person's appearance. Thus, I could answer either 'strongly agree' or 'strongly disagree' and my answer would be equally valid, given the wording of the question. From what I know, this place/person dichotomy seems to be a common trait with people on the spectrum.

I scored 41 on the test.
I think it possible for someone on the the spectrum to score much lower (10 for example) aswell as an NT to score much higher..

It depends on how people interpret the question, and if they think of an example of their own, and then answer to that example, but not the intention of the question which could adversely effect the score.

I also got 155 on the Aspie Test.

I had a question. What is hunting? My circular chart was about 75% into the aspie hunting range.

Gary, you've developed a really constructive form of apathy. I tend to score high on the AQ type tests. It's funny because, I didn't even know what AS was until a few months ago, and I have known for a long time that something was really different about me. My main indicator is the lack of relationships, and then my inability to hear others' speech. However, I have an NT passable ability to make eye contact sometimes, but sometimes it's obvious that I really have to work at it or that I really don't want to (usually in an emotional situation). I see correlation with not being able to carry on a conversation about points of interest to others and not being able to hear conversations to try to find out what people are talking about. I have been in rooms where people were talking about me, and I couldn't make out the idea behind it. Unfortunately, these mistakes cost me dearly. I can improve without a DX, but not without support because I need specific problems to be addressed formally. A DX will help me too, but I can certainly figure a lot out on my own.

I think seeking is a better way to say hunting. I scored a 184 the first time and then retried with a 155. I have to remember what happens when I try to fool myself in social situations, I can't control my behaviour if I am in denial of what's going on around me. It's not really denial though, I can't be denying something that I don't know is even there. At first, I thought just that I was so desperate for friends and that's why I was emotionally wrought over social situations that I kept failing at, one right after another with no chance of progress with anyone. Now, after living here for seven years, I have managed to still run in with people that knew me when I first arrived, and can be friendly if they were/are friendly to me.

45, undiagnosed
