An interesting test, perhaps more engaging than the one I linked, but I did it anyway and my results are as follows ;

Aspie score 156 out of 200
NT score 58 out of 200

Yeah, I know it.

Interesting though, some of the questions baffled me in the way that it seemed to be asking two different things, which can't have a definitive answer so I left them as a question mark, perhaps it is those type of questions are in there, designed to catch those that have difficulty in reading abstractly.

But as a seperate thought on these tests we all play, is anyone aware posting their results on the forum might have a detrimental effect on them as a poster or indeed person seeking an other for witwd.

After your test I became a little more curious with google and that's what I found. It did seem to ask slightly different questions as well.

As far as people using something like this to form opinions..Well my take on that is if negatively used..I wouldn't want to be around them anyway so it may just help me to clear out the unwanted.

People are people though...Judging is going to happen.

Despite what the test states..I do quite well in a lot of social situations..I just don't like them..I'd rather be alone or with a special someone..alone.

Got 10 out of 50. Don't know about not being a geek, but it does indicate that I don't have "Asperger's Syndrome or high-functioning autism".

Oh, my hat, political correctness gone mad: I got 170/200 neurotypical? WTF? Look it up, and according to PC's:
Neurotypical means NORMAL.
For entertainment purposes only!

But some of the questions were indeed entertaining: I know precisely how much pressure my hands apply [do therapeutic massage].
I love slowly moving water [I swim].
I hate clothing tags [if they're heavily embroidered and itchy: duh!].
I do not enjoy imitating animal sounds [only because I SUCK at them].
I an not infrequently attacked by brainworm songs [but I instantly infect someone else with them: now if y'all would start humming Abba's 'Take a Chance on Me' and don't forget the chance chance, which might turn into Bowie's ch ch ch Changes:
Enjoy!
Do I have unusual sexual preferences? Boo ya!

29. I'm almost as screwed as Ken.

Mind trying that other one Hippie? I'm curious.

Or not

Let me get a couple Lagunitas Ales into me first.

On the Aspie test, I scored 104/200 Aspie; 120/200 neurotypical.

As I've aged, I've changed somewhat. Mellowed.

I'm the same way. I function well in social situations, unless, in chit-chat, the topic turns to sports or something else I consider boring or uninteresting... then I try to change the subject, or excuse myself and go elsewhere.

But I'm pretty much of a hermit, except I like having a special someone around.
