Are you a Geek ?

Just for fun, interest or other, if you care, have a go at this test developed by Cambridge psychologist; Simon Baron-Cohen ( related to Ali G ?) and others to determine a possible guide to an inquirer's AQ.

I got a score of Forty, but I already knew the answer, but it is not as bad as that.

Anyone Game?






I got a 25, but I deal every damned day with my son who as a part of his autism, has a high proportion of Aspergers, before my son I probably would have been higher.

Although I enjoy taking these sorts of tests, I don't put much weigh into their outcome unless I have something more substantial to back it up.

Status: offline 		The test as it is described on the link is for fun, and there is a disclaimer there that states more or less so and is not to be used as a form of diagnosis in it's position alone, for diagnosis of differences involves far more than an online test, no matter who wrote it.

I do hope those that have taken this test also took the trouble to read the wordage surrounding the test as to what it's publication was there for.
