I'm going to make a poll for people to choose a percentile they belong to calista, this is a facinating take on functioing levels.

I'd like to say thank you for it too, Callista. It seems to me you hit the nail on the head, good variables and descriptions IMHO, though I can see there should be subscales introduced to further refine classification, especially for executive functioning . I'd like to see more results of it, both individual and statistical. I find myself somewhere in the range of 50-75%, except for family, where I'm 5-25%-ish.

I agree with Fnord, that determination and diligence can help a lot, and I would add that supportive family background and luck also count in.

To MrXxx, have you considered using classification and finding the modus? In this case modus being the "typical", for it's the most populated class. In your example, put the Dalmatians in increasing order of spot counts, make divisions according to spot count classes like 0-100, 101-200, 201-300 and so on, and the most populated division would be the modus, the 'typical" Dalmatian... But clearly, your given data does not support this, it is more suitable approach when the distribution is closer to normal. Central limit theorem may probably be suspected for empirical data often being quite close to normal distribution.

Interesting. For most of them I'd put myself in the 75%-95% range, but one in the 50%-75% range.

Very interesting, Callista. Thanks for sharing.

There isn't a typical aspie, because we are all different.
