Does anyone know what the Talent reading means on the graph of the Aspie test?

All the other points seem self explanatory, Perception, Communication, Social etc. Does Talent mean intelligence or something completely different?

Lastly I think this is a great site, so many different posts and so many people who comment trying to help out other people. I've been helped on here already and I've only been on a matter of days.

Probably something to do with Neanderthals. I know "hunting" was on there, can't remember which point replaced it though. It's just one of those weird personality quizzes, none of it really means anything clinically.

You're probably right.

It gives you explanations of the categories if you download the spider chart.

Neurodiverse talent
This group contains intellectually related neurodiverse traits. Typical traits are related to strong interests that can become obsessive (e.g. having strong interests; hyper focusing; collecting information; good long term memory related to interests; figuring out how things work; making connections between things). Other traits are related to information processing (e.g. noticing details; finding patterns; unusual imagination; unique ideas). Some people have special talents (e.g. numbers; language; computers; music).

Diagnostic relation
A high score is related to Asperger's Syndrome (AS) and Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD).

Neurotypical talent
This group contains intellectually related neurotypical traits. These are often defined in terms of disabilities. Typical traits are related to verbal communication, learning by imitation, staying focused even when doing boring things, trouble with finding places and a poor concept of time.

Diagnostic relation
A low score is related to Dyslexia and Dyscalculia, but also to other diagnoses like ADD/ADHD.

........................ Thank you Exuvian, that is ideal, I understand now. My son carried out the test years ago and I should have saved more of the info on the site but I didn't know how to at the time.
