Seems weird dates are such a fixation of the test; surely some people will channel it differently.

Score: 11.0 AQ-10 score: 1.0

I've taken autism tests before on the forum and I always score much lower than I might expect. Screencapped my answers: https://imgur.com/a/6HLv3ch

I couldn't do this actual test on my phone so I took a different on and scored 10.

I don't know whether that's a cause to go out and celebrate or not.

I score pretty high, but just below aspergers territory. I’m very asocial a lot of time I think that accounts for my higher scores, but it’s not because I feel socially awkward it’s more like I hate other people and don’t want to be around them. I’m sure I have traits though, but I don’t have any sensory issues that I’m aware of.

Thank you for taking the AQ Test. Here are your AQ Test results:

Your AQ Test Score is: 13
The official criterion for Asperger’s Syndrome is an AQ score greater than 32.

According to statistical analysis, 26 – 31 Is a borderline score.

86% of people with a score of 26-31 can be correctly classified as having Asperger’s Syndrome.

I'm not really too sure about the accuracy of these types of tests. And I did it in a rush because I've not got time for silly questions either.

Do you notice car number plates? What kind of questions that? I do notice them but they don't get me wet.

There wasn't a tick box for that though.

It's specifically testing for the disorder, not tendency, so maybe not a good test for gauging how far into the spectrum you might be. For instance, I spent 10+ years looking up daily box office results, sometimes hours at a time scanning financial spreadsheets of every film with a theatrical release, for no practical reason at all, which the test barely touched; and there's a kind of atrophy towards aspie quirks (like bluntness, trouble with eye contact, singular-focus) whenever isolated for longer periods of time, that the question style doesn't cater for. Might have a look at the longer one posted by seabreezeblue a few pages back.

I sense that I make people feel awkward with my eye contact in particular.

I won't let go of their gaze until I'm done.

This has caused me problems in my life because it can make people become aggressive.

My psychiatrist says I have a glib stare.

>Do you have problems filling out forms?
Not on this forum lol

Your neurodiverse (Aspie) score: 35 of 200
Your neurotypical (non-autistic) score: 180 of 200

I've taken this test before, I think. I remember seeing a graph like the one posted a long time ago. Will see if I can figure out an easy way to search for it on here to compare-- if the scoring is very different, it'd be interesting.

It's funny when there's an anti-social across the room and they don't look away when you catch their gaze. Creep-factor depends on gender it seems. Stand-offs are interesting, but can generally be won with a Big Loving Smile their direction. Or by moving and recommencing things right next to them.

How does one stare glibly? Any insincerity in a look I think has to also include facial expression. I would understand if she'd said shallow-looking eyes but I don't know that the direction and intensity of seeing balls can be said to be insincere without something else to contrast them against-- even then, I think I'd intuitively say the face is betraying the eyes rather than the other way around. I don't understand what the psych trying to say. Are your eyes warm to hold gaze with?
