I used the Autism Quotient iTunes app on my phone [goto http://glennrowe.net/BaronCohen/AutismS ... tient.aspx if you want to do this online]

Mine was 29 [repeatedly], apparently this indicates I don't have autism

I think autistic people can learn social communication skills and this may reflect such improvement.

What is the cut off?

---
I found this on the same website
0 - 10 = low
11 - 22 = average (most women score about 15 and most men score about 17)
23 - 31 = above average
32 - 50 is very high (most people with Asperger Syndrome or high-functioning autism score about 35)
50 is maximum

putting strongly agree to everything gives you a score of 25 ltried it as experiment]

i got 35 so in Aspie terms im about average among us

I've gotten anywhere from 33-40 on the test, just depends on the day how I end up answering the questions. It's not really the most accurate test.

I've taken the test a few times in recent months.
When I took it in November, my score was 35. I took it again the other week, and my score had dropped to 32.

According to the AQ test (and the above quoted post), I don't have autism at all since out of the three times that I have taken this test, I have scored 25, 29, and 19; this is coming from someone who was diagnosed on the autism spectrum at age 2. But then again, this test is not actually an accurate indicator of whether or not someone is actually on the autism spectrum.

40

But as others have pointed out, it focusses on social interaction and number interests.
So someone who is socially phobic & a bit mathsy will score high, but not necessarily be diagnostically ASD.
These short tests, despite being limited, can be a good way to give yourself a bit of insight / feedback and put your way of functioning into a wider context.
I may think i'm perfectly normal until I see what 'normal' people should be scoring...explains why I feel i'm trying to fit into the wrong no of dimensions when I leave my house

Actually, mine seems to be in the range of 32 to 40, depending on the day.

off-topic but have you seen anything of David mitchell, jmnixon95? he's a british comedian/actor-thingy. methinks you'd like his 'angry logic' as it was once described.
