What does this test prove or show?
I scored 31, that's below 32 , the lower autistic limit. Si that means i am borderline autistic or even not....
Well whatever it means

i scored 40. So that is above the autistic limit but not that high. As i have said befroe i just tend to class myself as borderline and it depends on what "state" (IE tired, or sleepy or anger) on how much it shows.
I took it a week or so ago and scored a 36. I took it again and scored a 35. I'm not that involved with these sorts of diagnostic tests, though these questions were far more straightforward than the 200-question test someone posted about a while back.
Basically, a score above 32 means that it is likely you express autistic traits. I'm not sure what most NTs score, but without truly knowing that, these sorts of tests are pointless.

I strongly suspect that most 'normal' people score around a 30 on that particular test. I've taken it several times and even 'fudged' it a little and still can't get lower than a 32 so I don't think it's a completly worthless test but the questions seem to be massively biased towards typical Auspie situtational responces.

just took it and got a 34. I guess since the control group's average was 16.4, that means that NTs probably score less than 20. That was an interesting test. I'm going to send it to all of my relatives, I'll bet most of the older gen are higher.

I got 33, but psychologist said that I have neither autism nor AS, just introverted character. So I think that this test is an indicator, but it is not enough for diagnosis.
