Sensitivity and boredom

Postby captain ad hoc » Sun May 20, 2012 1:13 am

Plagiarizing this thread from the AvPD forum.

These are supposed to be independent quantitative neurological scales.

Sensitivity test. Total 27 y/n questions (count the boxes checked).
Boredom test. Total 20 y/n questions, PDF (count the number of "True"s).

My scores
Sensitivity: 26 clicked
Boredom: 18 T's

I'm mostly curious about a possible relationship between these two concepts and the concepts of schizoidism and schizotypy.

-------------

PS: The "Score test" button doesn't seem to be working.
PPS: I didn't like the original names of the tests so I changed them.
PPPS: Clarified.

i am rly bad at tests
but to say something... i´ve never been bored since i finished school, i just don´t get bored anymore, i have interests etc.
i am a sensitive person and always have been, i still seem to feel a lot less social pressure than ppl i know prolly cause i am kinda schizoid.

if we are on the autism spectrum (which i think i am) then it might make sense that we are sensitive in certain ways.

Sensitivity : 3 clicked
Boredom : 2 F

The first is about being highly sensitive, not just plain sensitive i guess. Just a reminder as it has some extremes.
I didn't like some choices on the boredom test either.

Sensitivity: 24
Boredom: 0

Seriously, I guess this means I am inert but by no means thick skinned. I mentioned before that the questions of "so what's going on with me?" is to be determined. Have been looking at the Avoidant board, wondering about that. I don't connect, but sometimes it bugs me that I don't.

As for the boredom score, I think that is reflected in the idea that I often feel litterally dragged by the hair through life by other peoples' drama. It really wears me out, and I feel like most interaction tends to be more dramatic than I would like.
