Autistic & Empathy Quotient (AQ & EQ) scores

AQ: 19
EQ: 12

Undiagnosed. Although, at 13 I was diagnosed with ADD/ADHD. Never was really convinced.

AQ test needed a "don't care" option. How should I know if I have difficulty reading faces or nonverbal communication? I don't even try.

I was diagnosed with it too, couple years ago. I have a feeling that AD(H)D is not even a real condition in itself, and it's actually just a neurological component of a wide range of "proper" conditions.

Lol, reminded me of the DID screening test. It asked stuff like "How often do you zone out?". Can you be more ironic than that?

Mmmm... I never thought the possibility of being autistic / Asperger. It makes sense, though.

AQ: 39

EQ: 6

I expected a high autism quotient [I have always scored high on similar tests] but I was a bit surprised by how low I actually scored on the empathy quotient test. Hmm.

I finally saw a few episodes recently, and suddenly this conversation made so much more sense.

One show mentioned the "housemate agreement", where Sheldon says "At least once a day I ask how you are, even though I simply don't care." I have that rule too, though people I've lived with previously have never known about it formally.

Somehow i'm not surprised.

AQ: 38
EQ: 10

I'm somewhat diagnosed. I mean psychologist could not decide between slight AS or SPD after almost 3 years.

AQ: 27

EQ: 12

I've been diagnosed with schizoid PD. When I was younger, a different psychologist thought I may have had Asperger syndrome, but he never made a diagnosis.

AQ: 24
EQ: 23

I doubt to have Asperger's , since it doesn't make much sense... the reason why i avoid social activities is because they bore me and i couldn't care less, but i can manage them very well.

PS: took the quiz that doritocakes took, about whether you got male/female brain, and scored male brain but, in the in-depth analysis, it said that some of my results were typical of female brain: sorry for being good at anything.

I'm not too surprised that I scored so low on the empathy test. I hate to see animals suffering but when it comes to people I just don't usually care, I assume it's their fault somehow (I'm usually right) and move on. And I know I don't have aspergers, I just don't like social situations or people in general.
