(didn't want this to overlap any other tests that were already posted - seems like this one's in the clear and is not a rehashing of a previous post.)

From the site:
"The Asperger's Syndrome Test
This is a test over on Wired Magazine, but that one was broken when I took it, so I am putting it here. It is literally a scientific test to help figure out if you have Asperger's Syndrome or not. Of course it's not a medical diagnosis, but whatever...

Please understand THIS IS JUST FOR FUN!! !! ! It is by no means something to get all stressed out about, whether you have it or you don't. If you have DLD and score a negative, the good news is: Your life still has meaning, keep searching.

If you don't know what Asperger's Syndrome is, search for it on the net using your search engine of choice, there's plenty of information about it. You might want to do a search on it to figure out if knowing whether or not you have it is something you are prepared for.

This is no lovey-dovey, warm and fuzzy, feel-good-about-yourself-because-you-know-which-X-Man-you-are kind of test, but it is actually scientific. There are 50 questions agree/disagree type all one page, easy as pie. Enjoy... and remember, there's no right or wrong."

To the test - http://www.okcupid.com/tests/take?testi ... 0153908026

I scored a 32, but I've taken this before and scored a 29, so who knows.

38

I'm an imaginative aspie and the test seemed to emphasize the idea that aspies have no imagination.

Man, I hate OKCupid tests. I take forever to finish, and the session times out.

37 - not as good as the other aspie test... also it makes you join some horrid network.

What? Joining is not necessary, though it may ask you to fill out a form for statistics.

Most people probably know this, but okcupid is a dating site. I took the quiz but wasn't really paying attention to the site's name and made an account thinking it was a place to take a bunch of quizzes. I entered my zip code thinking it was for informational purposes and they displayed it and I had a creepy older guy who now knows where I live hitting on me and he had multiple accounts so I couldn't block him right away. So just be careful!

I didn't take the quiz because quizzes that have any choices other than "Yes" or "No" are too complicated. >>

It's the AQ test by Simon Baron-Cohen.

28 and over is the PDD cutoff; I know some institutions use this and other tests in the initial screening for AS, i.e., if you score less than 28 it's most likely that you don't have a PDD.

44 here (which seems to be stable for me concerning this test).
