The test is located here:
http://www.testmybrain.org/

I randomly stumbled on this and scored in the 90th percentile on both; which seems odd considering that these are two areas that people with ASD typically struggle with. I haven’t been diagnosed but I have a strong suspicion that I am on the spectrum.

In my case (when dealing with social situations) its not so much a difficulty in understanding what exactly is going on in the conversation but instead I find it difficult to execute the proper response within the time allowed. I certainly don’t intuitively arrive at the correct assessment of the situation, it’s more like sequencing peoples emotes and inferring what it is that people are attempting to put across; it’s a very conscious and taxing process. Doing this usually takes up a considerable amount of mental resource and when it comes time for me to contribute I’m forced to produce something in the split second of free processing that peoples patience would allow. When there are more than two other people in a conversation, I don’t really know what’s going on and just sort of recede back into my own contemplative lair; this sort of takes the pressure off but if called upon I usually feel as though I’m taking a shot in the dark.

Curious how other people do.

57 out of 72 on average. This is why police lineups and "6-packs" can be so unreliable.

Thanks for sharing!

I'm not sure I agree with being relatively calm since I have performance anxiety and sensory issues.

Took the short term memory test. Scored average on number sequences, below average on all others.

Took the word guessing test. Scored way above average.

Took the famous face test. Scored way below average.

I scored in the 60th percentile in both categories. I wish I were that good at identifying emotions in the real world.

Having thought about my responses a bit more, I think I actually found it much easier to identify the emotions that the picture wasn't rather than positively identifying the emotions displayed, so that it was more of a process of elimination.
