Hi, new guy here. Don't really know whether I have AS or not. I heard it's not that easy to come by an adult diagnosis. All I know is one of my my students, who had a Master's in Psych, liked to analyze my "amusing" behavior, and all he concluded was that I was a mad control freak with OC personality, I always saw everything from a different perspective, and I had a way with words (as long as I was writing). I don't know if any of this has anything to do with AS, I studied government stuff for college. So I don't really know where I stand here. I guess we'll see what happens.

Welcome to the Wrong Planet. Now just where is the right planet? Most of us here want to know.

You studied government? Then here is a question. Sometime during the late 60's or early 70's the Max Planck Institute did a study to find the ideal form of government, but I can't find anything about it. Any ideas? One of my profs was there at the time and told us a little about it, but that's all that I know. Any info would be appreciated.

Never heard of it. But the search for an "ideal government" would be pretty subjective, and would be somewhere between the extremes of total capitalism and socialism. Somewhere in-between Anarchy and Fascism. Largely because of a highly unreliable factor: people.

Anyway, I took the online tests, and here's what I've got so far:

1. BAPQ

Autistic/BAP

You scored 123 aloof, 118 rigid and 108 pragmatic
You scored above the cutoff on all three scales. Clearly, you are either autistic or on the broader autistic phenotype. You probably are not very social, and when you do interact with others, you come off as strange or rude without meaning to. You probably also like things to be familiar and predictable and don't like changes, especially unexpected ones.

Your Analysis:
You scored 123% on aloof, higher than 87% of your peers.
You scored 118% on rigid, higher than 87% of your peers.
You scored 108% on pragmatic, higher than 82% of your peers.
You scored 3% on diagnosis, higher than 18% of your peers.

2. AQ Score: 41

3. EQ 5, SQ 79

4. EIQ:

Self-report Component
Subscale IQ score = 55
Subscale percentile = 0.13

5. HSP test: 18

6. Mind in the eyes: 30

Aspie Quiz:
Your Aspie score: 169 of 200
Your neurotypical (non-autistic) score: 39 of 200
You are very likely an Aspie

Pretty much got the symptoms down, except I'm pretty good at reading emotions in the eyes. (On the computer anyway.)
