The discussion revolves around participants sharing their scores from an online quiz designed to measure autistic traits, specifically the Autism Spectrum Quotient (AQ). Many users reported scores around the average of 27, with some expressing surprise at their results, while others noted that their scores were significantly lower or higher. The conversation highlighted the quiz's potential link to analytical thinking and scientific interest, suggesting that those engaged in science may score differently than the general population. Participants also referenced research indicating that the AQ test can differentiate between individuals with and without autism, although it is not a diagnostic tool. Overall, the thread serves as a light-hearted exploration of how science enthusiasts perceive their own analytical traits through the quiz.
