I'm female, 39 years old, mechanical engineer, in test which you send my AQ is 20, i have never visited doctor for my problem, i'm undiagnosed, simple i whole time tough i'm one in this world, no one has my problem, and get out of society long time. Before 1 year ago i take IQ mensa test, my IQ is normal, it is 111.

This is not possible.. I take EQ test which you send, i have only 60.. probably is because my English

AQ test - 28

Doesn't an AQ score of above 32 have only a 2% false positives among controls?

Among males, the percentage is somewhere around 7% score 32 or above. If we assume the incidence of AS is 1 out of 250 in the population or .4%, that implies the false positive rate would be somewhere around 94.3% among males.

Here's the original research paper at http://autismresearchcentre.com/docs/pa ... sForAS.pdf. There was another one that had the distribution curves for both males and females...

Might want to check the data in the links at the bottom of the wikipedia page:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autism_Spectrum_Quotient

I'm not citing wikipedia, but wikipedia cites research that directly contradicts you.

Make sure to check the primary sources before taking wikipedia at face value! Secondary sources like wikipedia are certainly fallible, especially when it comes to interpreting their meaning (Which, in wikipedia's case, is a bit misleading to the more naive reader.).

See the distribution curves at (They're on the bottom of the page):

And, also, can we redirect this to the other thread? It seems silly to pollute the testing thread.

Yes, I got the 2% value from that link:

Spectrum Quotient (AQ):

Individuals score in the range 0-50. Four groups of subjects were assessed: Group 1: n = 58 adults with Asperger Syndrome (AS) or high-functioning autism (HFA); Group 2: n = 174 randomly selected controls. Group 3: n = 840 students in Cambridge University; and Group 4: n = 16 winners of the UK Mathematics Olympiad. The adults with AS/HFA had a mean AQ score of 35.8 (sd = 6.5), significantly higher than Group 2 controls (x = 16.4, sd = 6.3). 80% of the adults with AS/HFA scored 32+, vs 2% of controls. Among the controls, males scored slightly but significantly higher than women. No females scored extremely highly (AQ score 34+) whereas 4% of males did so. Twice as many males (40%) as females (21%) scored at intermediate levels (AQ score 20+).

I didn't take wikipedia at face value. The research paper linked in the article says precisely what Kon says that it says.

Are people so dogmatically tied up in "you can't trust what wikipedia says" that they forget that the references links at the bottom aggregate a ton of information about the topic from other, verifiable, sources? That is the primary reason I link wikipedia, and I explicitly said so.

Look at the curves.

And, also, "2% of NTs score above 32" is NOT the "false positive rate". The false positive rate is the percentage of people who are falsely identified as aspergers when they are really NT, which as previously calculated, was above 90% for males who score above 32.

Just one thing. Aspie quiz does not even try to copycat the DSM, but is used to define the autistic personality-type. That does not mean that Aspie-quiz is bad at identifying Asperger's syndrome (my own comparisons with the AQ-test indicates that Aspie-quiz give slightly better predictions), only that the intent of Aspie quiz is not to diagnose according to DSM, but to identify people with Aspie personality-traits. The creator of Aspie-quiz (me) does not even endorse the usefulness of DSM's Asperger's diagnosis, but instead view it as a collection of random traits that are not related.

Don't you have a paper on your site that actually describes how the Aspie Quiz works, and how predictive it's been so far?
