From 1-10, how good are you at multitasking?

I cannot multitask worth a darn and I have gotten criticized by another aspie who can multitask because as he says he has no problem so I shouldn't.

I'm torn on this. On one hand, I always keep one activity in the background while I concentrate on another; And on the other hand, well, what if I always multitask, but I think I can't concentrate worth a s**t?... And I still do it.

I can't multi task. I get too wrapped up in whatever task im doing, it's hard.

How does the scale work , does 1 represent really bad or really good? I am terrible at multitasking.......I would be a 2 or 3 (if I is really bad).

1 - really bad
10 - really good

I don't know - I can eat and read things or watch movies at the same time? I can sing while doing chores or while playing an instrument... But I can't drive and talk/listen to music, in fact driving itself was hell, I had 26 hours of lessons and I'm still dangerous. I was so focused on being on the road that I didn't hear my teacher's instructions, and when she tried to have a conversation I almost got into accidents. I can't work for school and chat, or have a phone call and do anything else (maybe because I'm focusing on doing everything right and not be awkward). Or play games like Pokémon and have conversations (if I talk it's switch-tasking, just pausing my game and continuing when I don't have to talk or listen anymore. I can't drink/text and walk at the same time, except when I walk reaally slowly.
What number should I vote on? a 6-7?

I wish you had separated the results by gender.

Generally, women tend to be the multi-taskers while men are good at concentrating on just one thing.

You can look in people's profiles.

I can be a multi-tasker to a degree, but prefer to focus on one thing if possible. If I multi-task it is best if it is organized well and not more than two things at once. Hmm....

I raised 4 kids. Multi-tasking is a survival skill.

Depends if I'm interested in it or not...

Also I think you really mean multitasking efficiency in regards to actually GETTING WORK DONE.

Nothing special. Just personal empirical data.

I've learned to multitask quite well. I can do my homework with a lot of distractions, most likely because I'm used to living with three loud younger sisters and their friends.

Right now not at all, LOL. I came to check this thread, and got lost in something else.

I'm pretty good at it depending on the things I'm multitasking and my overall level of stress.
