Thanks everyone so far!

Random42: 26/28 aspie
EstherJ: 20/28

Comment: It's normal that not everyone has every aspie characteristics,
your psychology changing by environment and you pick the habbits of people arround you.
So if you are alot with neurotypicals you'll learn a little bit to be political, or to be less honest in your actions etc.
And it's not black or white, their are many genes associated with ASS.

I also think the severity is mostly related to environment (intense world theory for example and recently their is some evidence that some mutations for autism and schizophrenia are linked to neanderthals)

I also want to note that monotone + literal + direct + honest + less non-verbal communication are all linked
A person who's brutally honest is mostly going to talk in a direct way, and use less non-verbal communication -> why use non-verbal communication if you can use direct/literal language and are honest (you need to be honest if you want use direct language).

I'm wondering alot about the eyes, Wide or closed.

Thanks everyone, more please

AQ 26

PDD NOS



None



Poor



Medium



None



I used to think small, but according to my personality psychology prof, desire for power can also mean wanting to have a positive impact on others. I want to change the world for the better, so I guess it counts.



Slightly less varied than normal



high



In what sense?

Literal interpretation, semantics






A bit literal, but usually understands metaphors etc.



Mostly honest, but not 'brutally' honest because I usually can phrase it so I'm saying the truth in a less upsetting way.



Often bullied



Fairly political - I'm not very pleased with any of the politicians out there, but I really care a lot about the issues



Better than average



Information transfer, definitely.



Kind of both - if you ask me a question, you'll probably get an outpouring of all I know on the topic.



I don't think I'm charming.



fairly average



warmer



Urban for my sake, but for my cats' sake I prefer rural. Fortunately the place I live in is right on the border between urban and rural (medium-sized town).



Frequent with ease, often unconventional ones (I'm a writer)



Poor



I object to the term lazy. I tire easily, but I do try to help out if I can.



I'm pretty caring, but often it doesn't occur to me what others might want.



Depends on my facial expression



Depends what kind of social adeptness. The politician kind of socially adept set off an aversion in me, while I really like the motherly nurturing kind of socially adept (eg people like my Mom).



Not 'impeccable' because that sounds wrong (if your grammar is too good according to proscriptive rules, you're usually actually breaking the descriptive rules of the language, because languages evolve no matter how much grammarians try to stop it). But I don't do things like swapping 'their' for 'they're'. And my spelling is pretty much perfect.



Trouble with this



OK, to me 'antisocial' means being a criminal, which I'm guessing is not what you mean. I'm guessing you mean more 'asocial' (eg like a cat).

In my case, I switch between a 'social' mode and an 'asocial' mode, depending on situation. I don't mind being alone a lot, but I do like socializing as long as I get enough breaks in between.

By the way, a bit of advice? Most of your questions have two 'extreme' options when most would be in between. In addition, your phrasing leaves you open to the social desirability bias - people are a lot more likely to accept calling themselves 'diplomatic' than 'deceptive'.

I found a lot of the questions impossible to answer as either 1 or 0, so I did my best but included half-mark positions where necessary along with a little interpretation of where I would put myself.

I know, it doesn't need to be accurate, I think it's just interesting.

With anti-social I mean people who are negative without any reason to new people.
Who're not open to let new people join the conversation etc.

It's not my goal to be very accurate, I'm just taking the two extremes because this excist in the population.
No one is either always social and never antisocial.

I know, but it doesn't matter much.

@EstherJ

The score doesn't mean much, they're just extremes which are more common in aspergian or the neurotypical group.
The score depend in which environment you grow up, your friends you meet in live, and so on.

If you've a high aspergian score it maybe say you are more unique because the majority of the people score higher on the neurotypical questions
Don't be sticked or worried about the score, it's just a fun test in my opinion

It may be related to the neanderthalers, but whatever? we'll never know and it doesn't matter much in my opinion

It's subjective I know, but it isn't a scientific questionaire
We'll change during our course of life, so does our "autistic" behavior.
