Another test for Asperger's Syndrome

Post Reply New Topic

Interesting. Thanks. I did not join WP until about a month later. Some of the posters in that thread seemed to misunderstand the guy's methodology.

If you will allow me a moment of candor "uh. . .well DUH!"

you have to be educated in any methodology to understand it.

my favorite question was bitten by dogs.

32, being conservative.

I got 36 but I found some of the questions could be expanded upon. And good measure, I got bitten by my dog on Tuesday. As for inconsistent work record, the only reason that I have been in my current job so long is the money, every other job has lasted a year. I keep away from children. I don't know, it has the potential to be a really good test, at present it is a good test. There are enough people here to create a test based on the experiences given. They need to be less general. Saying things like Are you really good at maths? doesn't always apply. Anyhoo...

Hi, Merle,

What I mean is that some of them seemed to assume that the test was supposed to tell them whether they were Aspies. However, as the researcher explains, the test is not only for AS. It is also for schizoid personality disorder, OCD, bipolar disorder, depression, etc.

The researcher was very honest about his questionaire. The test will only let a respondent know whether her or his average grade was the same as the average grade of others in a particular category (who participated in the pilot study). It is unrealistic to expect more than what he said from any online quiz. For a diagnosis, one sees a therapist who has specialized in AS or, more generally, in the ASDs.

33 out of 54.

I tried to be super-extra conservative and I got a 32.

I am confused by "bitten by dogs."

Do dogs like to bite aspies?

I was attacked by a boxer a few years ago. That was one dog.

Flakey's mom's little yap dog used to try to bite me all the time.

Both owners of dogs said their dogs did not normally bite people.

But I used to work with dogs....and none of those dogs tried to bite me.
There was one crazy incident where a pure bred unfixed male rotwieller started acting aggressive while we were trying to bathe him...but it was not necc. directed at me. He had the whole clinic up in arms.

34

"Aspergoid," never encountered that term before; not quite sure how I feel about the sound of it.

I scored similarly on Simon Baron-Cohen's test. I'm just introverted with focused interests and apathetic about social interaction.

40

I got 5 out of 54.

(I took this test before, and got 13)

9: I'm a weird NT

I got 24. I left lot of the boxes blank because I wasn't sure about that about myself or I didn't know what they meant so I left them blank.

36

15, relatively low, but the items I checked were strong indicators of AS
