I got 40.
I dunno, am I not supposed to like fiction? and that one question "i'm usually the last one to understand the joke" or whatever, I put "strongly disagree". Usually i'm the first to get it. Seriously this "no sense of humor" stereotype is not cool. In fact most of the test is based on stereotypes.

31, but with most of the questions I kind of knew what they were asking for.
I also don't agree with the "no sense of humor" stereotype- I consider myself a very funny person who enjoys jokes, etc.

I went through a total of about 15 hours of testing (in separate visits) by a neurologist when I got my diagnosis, so I have a hard time believing that a website test will be as accurate.
48 on AQ, 167 on RDOS. I've always suspected something was odd about me, but until my psychologist told me I might have an ASD, I didn't really believe it...
The 48 is probably influenced by the fact that I knew what the test was looking for. I might have scored 42-45 or so cold. But the RDOS is significantly longer, so I'm pretty sure it's accurate.

I scored 45 on the AQ test. I am a bit surprised.
I periodically retake the RDOS Aspie Quiz. I typically score between 158-168 on the Aspie portion, and between 48-54 on the Neurotypical portion.

36. All the questions I didn't answer the "autistic" way had to do with memorizing numbers and lack of imagination--two autistic traits I don't have. Though I do like working with numbers, I'm not very good at memorizing them because they don't have much meaning to me except in their relation to other numbers and the ways you can use them. And I've always loved fiction, though my ability to write stories has always lagged behind my ability to write essays.

I consistently get either 40 or 42, even when i deliberately "fudge" some of the questions i'm uncertain of from a different perspective. I do like this one better, though: http://www.rdos.net/eng/Aspie-quiz.php
