Oh, BTW, here's a clue for our Aspie friends in the Northeast.

Most NTs from the New York area wouldn't waste their time on this quiz. They would fill in their age and gender only because their browser does it for them, and then they'd just hit "submit".

I just took the quiz, and I failed miserably at it. Either I don't no how I sound, or the quiz writer doesn't know what he's doing. Maybe I just don't know how to answer his quiz.

I've been reading these forums for a while, but I decided to post now. I'm using the standard newbie introduction because I really suck starting conversations!
