For example, if a question said "Do you seek attention at parties and always get noticed?" or something like that, my answer would be no/yes. Because I don't seek it, but it happens.
So what do you do in those circumstances with those questions? do you just concentrate on the first part, even if that isn't true, or on the flipside, what if the first part is very you, but the second part never in a month of sundays?
Or is this why this test is for PD's only and those with Asperger's shouldn't take it? Not just because of how I read the questions, but because if I had a PD, all of the question would apply/not apply?
Confusing.
There was one question about being confused. I was happy when I saw that one. I agreed to it. Don't know what PD it related to? Depressed or paranoid probably. Like why is my paranoia score so high? And my depressed? Just cos I like a whinge? It's fun. Not depressing! And why is my narcissism zero (and obviously makes me look like a masochist)? and why is everyone a high percentage of schizotypal?!
The only thing I can relate to is the negativistic (which is why I laughed) although I actually am a glass half full actually. And the hypomaniac. That's understandable. Although with sensory issues in AS I'm hyper (sensitivity) not hypo.
Anyway, I'm not sure this test helps all that much with looking at AS against any of the PD's because we may well be a mixture of the mix. Or at least a topsy turvy version. Or both.
Yeah even sleepy I caught that about the two part questions. Had the same problem. Also no you're not hypomanic lol I got my hypo and hyper mixed up. Man I'm tired. And only 4 hours sleep so far. Sigh.
