Well I had not heard of the forer effect before googling it after reading this thread. However I voted first and voted for the mind tricks option as no other option really fitted me lol. Bits of the statement could apply at times and others don't fit at all. It was far too generalised.

Now google has informed me that I got the answer right anyway lololololol.

I always go through things like this and see how much of it described me. Very little did, so I said it didn't describe me. Very little ever does from these sorts of things, and it always surprises me when other people actually think it does describe them.

So far, the poll results indicate that aspies have fine BS detectors and a sense of humor.

Now for a control, I'd have to try this on an uber-NT forum such as one dedicated to fashion or reality television.
