Does anyone ever read these quizzes for intelligibility?! This stuff is flaming nuts.

Seriously, these tests are so poorly written I can't make sense out of a lot of the questions. Does anyone else find them gonzo?
A few of them
are worded so oddly that one could reasonably be confused about how to parse them, but some of the ones you mention above seem pretty straightforward - to the point that I have a difficult time believing you are actually having a hard time understanding the question. I think (I may be wrong!) you mean to say, for some of them, that you don't see how they could be relevant to an AS questionnaire. Examples:
"Do you fiddle with things?" - huh?
"peel flakes off yourself" - wtf?
"Do you enjoy walking on your toes?" - wtf?
"Do you have an interest for the current fashions?" - huh?
For these, I get the impression that you want to be told why they belong - which essentially means having them explain which answer is most indicative of an ASD. If you think about it for a minute, you can see how giving that information in the test would affect the results - those who want to get/avoid an "Aspie-ish" score could easily manipulate their answers to get the result they wanted.
