My BAP was 101 Aloof, 102 Rigid, 70 Pragmatic. It was like: Things that make you go, "Hmmmm..."

I ended up with the following for the first five of the seven tests at the start of this thread:

Broader Autistic Phenotype

Autistic/BAP

You scored 102 aloof, 85 rigid and 79 pragmatic
You scored above the cutoff on all three scales. Clearly, you are either autistic or on the broader autistic phenotype. You probably are not very social, and when you do interact with others, you come off as strange or rude without meaning to. You probably also like things to be familiar and predictable and don't like changes, especially unexpected ones.

Autism Quotient

40 - Eighty percent of those diagnosed with autism or a related disorder scored 32 or higher.

Empathy/Socialisation Quotient

Respondent Average EQ Average SQ Brain Type
Males 39.0 61.2 Systemizing
Females 48.0 51.7 Empathizing
Your Score 23 78 Extreme Systemizing (0% of females in this category)

Emotional IQ

Self-report Component
Subscale IQ score = 113
Subscale percentile = 82

According to your self-report answers, your emotional intelligence is satisfactory. People who score like you do feel that their ability to understand and deal with their own emotions and those of others is acceptable but could still use some improvement. Emotionally intelligent people have an easy time overcoming difficulties in their lives and they are generally able to control their moods. It's easy for them to motivate themselves to overcome obstacles and reach their goals. In addition, they find social interactions to be quite easy and fulfilling, for several reasons. They are comfortable allowing themselves to get close with others, and feel comfortable being vulnerable enough to establish intimacy. They also report having an easy time offering support to others; likely due to an empathetic nature and a clear mind when it comes to offering good advice. Perhaps by working on your problem areas, you can become more confident in dealing with your own emotions and those of others.

Highly Sensitive Person Test

You have indicated that 18 of the items are true of you. (indicating I am a highly sensitive person)

I find it very difficult to do facial recognition on such small shadowy pictures as used in test 6 and I didn't feel like doing test 7.

Thanks, I'll look for her post.



Aww...are you sure? :pout:



I took these tests hoping for more food for thought. Tried to be as honest and unbiased as possible.

I lost my specific results for some of these tests because my computer crashed, but in general:

BAPQ said neurotypical. Aloof score was a lot closer to non-NT than the other two. I agree: I don't trust people. I think this comes from past trauma.

EQ SQ-R told me I was balanced. My scores were in the low 50s on both -- pretty average for a woman.

I'm not retaking the entire rdos test just because I lost the result...but it said I was likely neurotypical.

I've taken the "Reading the mind in the eyes" test before, two different versions of different lengths. Each time I made sure to judge solely on instinct and not spend more than 1-2 seconds on each face. I scored as well as the average man on both; I'm a woman, so I did slightly below average.

On the Cambridge Face Memory test I made sure to rely on intuition and not make any mental notes of features. I got 88% correct.

ASQ was 17 -- again, the average man, heh. But the average woman scores 15, so not too different. I have real social problems, but the ASQ test isn't picking them up. For example, people do frequently tell me what I said is impolite -- when I knew it was! I insulted them to see if they'd reject me, "proving" I couldn't trust them. Yes, I know this is irrational! My difficulty trusting others and tendency to test them is my problem. And it is a social problem. Maybe not your typical AS however.

Hmm, I think it is the best online EQ test. But again, all online tests are not that good. To actually undergo a real test, you have to pay more $$, and they usually have some sort of a written component in addition to multiple choice (which makes them more accurate).

As for your scores, they're all above average. Why do you ask about the accuracy of this test? Do you think that your scores are not accurate? In my opinion, for an Internet test, it's a pretty detailed and thorough test. As for its scientific validity, that's another question. All these quotient tests are, of course, not absolute measurements of intelligence, but they do give some clues that can be used for various purposes.

MathGirl --

I don't think my results are inaccurate. I'm just afraid of being biased and assuming they're accurate just because they seem to support my belief that my social problems are caused by something other than Asperger's! (Two somethings, as I mentioned on your blog: Intellectual giftedness issues and attachment/trauma issues.) I've seen professionals, but they never gave me any "emotional intelligence" tests, only IQ and achievement tests.

The one who thinks I have Asperger's is basing this on her observations of me in the '80s, when I was a kid and she had never heard of AS. She accurately noted that I had a "social problem"...which now, going back to her notes after 20+ years, she interprets as "must be Asperger's." That's where we differ: There are other ways to have a social problem than just AS, and...I just don't identify with Aspies.

I mean. When I read accounts of other over-160-IQ folks, I cried. When I read accounts of CPTSD, I cried. When I read Liane Holliday Willey, I thought, "Ouch! that must have hurt," and, "Wow, that's *really* different from me." My Aspie partner is a great guy, but we both agree we just don't have the same issues.

It would just be nice to be confident that all these tests that are agreeing with us on this are remotely accurate.

I'm glad I took these; thanks for posting them! It gives me more confidence about my self-diagnosis. I've already left a small book on my mom's bed to try and tell her what I think...

I didn't do the results of the first one on this computer, but I remember that I got all 3 above or below.. whichever indicates aspie-ness.

62
According to your self-report answers, your emotional intelligence is very poor. People who score like you do feel that they have trouble dealing with their own emotions and those of others. They struggle to overcome difficulties in their lives and they are unable to control their moods. It's hard for them to understand how best to motivate themselves and reach their goals. In addition, they find social interactions quite difficult, for several reasons. They may have trouble allowing themselves to get close with others, finding it difficult to be vulnerable enough to establish intimacy. They also report having trouble offering support to others, likely due to the fact that they do not understand where others are coming from or they lack ideas about how best to help. Perhaps by working on your problem areas, you can become more confident in dealing with your own emotions and those of others.
I did not know it was that bad....

Aspie Quiz
Your Aspie score: 134 of 200
Your neurotypical (non-autistic) score: 72 of 200
You are very likely an Aspie

BAP quiz:
You scored 111% on aloof, higher than 57% of your peers.
You scored 105% on rigid, higher than 66% of your peers.
You scored 112% on pragmatic, higher than 86% of your peers.
You scored 9% on diagnosis, higher than 86% of your peers.

fascinating.

i'm absolutely off the charts on all of these (i.e. well in the ASD zone) other than the face recognition and the "mind in the eye," on which i scored totally average.

I have to say though that the eye quiz had me totally baffled. for example, i saw "amused" when options were "aghast," "fantasizing," "impatient," and "alarmed." if there had been a "none of the above" option, I'd have checked it on most.

Also, I was surprised to score as an "extreme systemizer" along with exactly 0% of women in the control group for the EQ/SQ test. As I have no interest in historical dates or analyzing stocks or anything like that, I expected the result to be pretty vague.

I can't recognize my mum, my sisters/ brothers, sometimes my girlfriend (whom I see daily)

I can recognize people by their body language (and normal language), the way they hold themselves and act though as these tend to have more distinguish characteristics and patterns to them then peoples faces.

66 on the EIQ...

Test 1:
Autistic/BAP

You scored 92 aloof, 106 rigid and 90 pragmatic
You scored above the cutoff on all three scales. Clearly, you are either autistic or on the broader autistic phenotype. You probably are not very social, and when you do interact with others, you come off as strange or rude without meaning to. You probably also like things to be familiar and predictable and don't like changes, especially unexpected ones.

Test 2:
Score: 38

Test 3:
Your Score 18 / 74 Extreme Systemizing

Test 5:
You have indicated that 18 of the items are true of you.

Test 6:
Your score: 31
A typical score is in the range 22-30. If you scored over 30,
you are very accurate at decoding a person's facial expressions
around their eyes. A score under 22 indicates you find this quite difficult.

Test 7:
Out of 72 faces, you correctly identified 71.
In other words, you got 99% correct.
(Recalling faces is easy for me, names on the other hand...)

Autistic/BAP

You scored 111 aloof, 100 rigid and 101 pragmatic


reading the mind in the eyes: 21 actualy lower than I expected, as I thought I was pretty good at that

aspie quiz: Your Aspie score: 147 of 200 Your neurotypical (non-autistic) score: 42 of 200

AQ: 40

I took four of those tests earlier this month. This is what I got:

BROAD AUTISM PHENOTYPE QUESTIONNAIRE

You scored above the cutoff on all three scales. Clearly, you are either autistic or on the broader autistic phenotype. You probably are not very social, and when you do interact with others, you come off as strange or rude without meaning to. You probably also like things to be familiar and predictable and don't like changes, especially unexpected ones.

AUTISM SPECTRUM QUOTIENT TEST
