My score from last year:
My total was 137, compensation was 47, masking was 47, and assimilation was 43.

I try to mask a lot, or at least used to.

I retook the test:

CAT-Q: 156
Compensation: 57
Masking: 47
Assimilation: 52

Two of my scores were higher than last time, and all of them were higher than autistic and NT men, women, and nonbinary people.

I tried :

CAT-Q : 116
Compensation : 38
Masking : 35
Assimilation : 43

Well I often choosed mild assesment as answers. I feel like I'm in the middle of the road on most items.

I try not to shock people in social situations, without hoping to "nail" my social interactions so I guess I just make sort of do most of the time.

I never heard of this quiz before so I took it :arrow:

CAT-Q:
69

Compensation:
12

Masking:
8

Assimilation:
49


I'm not entirely sure what these results mean. I'm very much aloof in social situations. I try to sound friendly when interacting with others but that's pretty much it. I almost never notice things like body language & facial expressions but I have a rare low vision disorder & my brain can have problems processing things I do see & I probably have that face blindness disorder. I don't learn social interaction from watching or listening to others like NTs do it. My brain just does not process that. I may as well be listening to people talk in Chinese or watching people do trigonometry problems. I can watch & listen but it is way over my head & my extremely slow mental processing speed as well as my ADD causes me to quickly tune out & be bored. I actually did not even know that eye contact was important to NTs until I joined this forum in my mid 20s. I thought eye contact was something that was mostly done when trying to lie or to determine if someone is lying.
