Do you have Asperger's Syndrome Test

Quote by selfAdjoint

I got a 23. The objections about the test, such as "Questions can be answered several ways" show unfamiliarity with genuine psychological testing. They want to force you to make a choice, where you are aware of different impulses in yourself. Also notice that some questions were repeated in different words; this gives them yet more insight into your inner thinking.

I don't follow this. How does forcing you to make a choice between two inappropriate responses give them any insight?

But on this question.

7. Other people frequently tell me that what I've said is impolite, even though I think it is polite.
Definitely agree
Slightly agree
Slightly disagree
Definitely disagree

I do have people saying that i say things that are impolite. but i do them to BE impolite and i know they are impolite.

I don't see the problem. You answered "definitely disagree", right?

these tests always make me realize one thing: i'm very noncommittal. i rarely ever answered strongly agree or disagree. except about playing pretending games and reading stories.

so, what would a person with aspergers answer for most of these q's?

That test isn't much good i have Asperger's Syndrome and i got 22

That doesn't necessarily say much about the test's validity, since one's score on the test is not intended to be diagnostic of Asperger's.

In fact, rereading Evo original post:

Psychologist Simon Baron-Cohen and his colleagues at Cambridge's Autism Research Centre have created the Autism-Spectrum Quotient, or AQ, as a measure of the extent of autistic traits in adults. In the first major trial using the test, the average score in the control group was 16.4. Eighty percent of those diagnosed with autism or a related disorder scored 32 or higher. The test is not a means for making a diagnosis, however, and many who score above 32 and even meet the diagnostic criteria for mild autism or Asperger's report no difficulty functioning in their everyday lives.

it covers the whole autism "spectrum". It's not actually aimed at Aspberger's at all. Wolly is, apparently, autistic.

I was "deflaming" the test. I actually used smileys for the first time to make sure that was understood. I'm going back to not using them. They don't work.

Damn can't do the test at work, I was saving that for a tea break.

Anyway on a side note for someone with fairly sever aspergers what sort of treatments are available these days, I've heard it's perfectly possible even for those with a more sever form to live perfectly normal lives, but how do you go about training the brain to overcome the inherent disadvantages. Apparently Bill Gates has Aspergers, he seems vaguely normal to me

Don't worry Aspergers is characterised by an inability to read facial expressions, it just confirms the diagnosis

Be cool zooby, i was only joshing, i have known for a long time i have a
hiccup some where, i still mix up D and B and have trouble recognizing
some words, i read every thing i type two or three times before posting,
that is why i ever hardly make a spelling mistake now.

Well, duh, zoob! Smilies are useless for people with Asperger's if they can't read facial expressions!

OK, here's my Asperger's test:

What mood is he in?

What mood is he in?

Oh boy.

Result: 39. Your score isn't an achievement, it just is.

You scored 32 or above. Do with that what you will.

My test tracked 1 variable How you compared to other people your age and gender:

You scored higher than 94% on points

Actually, I've suspected these traits in myself for a while.

You're a brave one, Wolly!

15, along with 'You scored higher than 13% on points', whatever the hell that means.
I guess I'll have to leave PF; I'm too normal to be here.

I'll quit crying if Moonie and Monique come with me.

Oh, what the hell... MIH, you're invited too... just for balance, you understand.

Hey, wait a minute! If Greg scored that low, then it must be the rest of you who don't belong. Begone, you whackos.

er, no... um.. I don't understand actually, but then I finally took the test and scored a 32, so I might not be good with nuances.
