Autism psychopathy survey

Post Reply New Topic

This made me chuckle and smile. Funny. I like your sense of humor.

Twisted minds think alike

I found that with many of the questions in the last section (where you have to choose one or the other), both options were so far from my actual opinion that I was basically choosing at random.

Sorry, all the survey equipment I've found online either doesn't give me detailed enough information (OKCupid only tells me the overall stats) or doesn't allow the test-taker to get any results from the test. And I don't have the technical skill to write my own survey software.

Don't worry, I'm not going to sign you up for any mailing lists or anything like that. It's just that the only way I can get people their results is to do it by hand.

If you want to provide your Wrongplanet username instead, I could PM you the results.

Here are mine:


Here are your results:

Autism Spectrum Quotient - 33, autism cutoff 32
Levenson's Self-Report Psychopathy Scale - 20, psychopathy cutoff 58
Sensation Seeking Scale - 6, population average 15-16

Also, about the question 'Do you feel a compulsive need for order?' you asked: 'I do not understand the question. What order?'

Many autistic people will compulsively arrange objects into certain patterns, for example, when I'm eating those little cinnamon stick candies, I will arrange the uneaten ones into symmetrical patterns as I eat.



Why yes I do tend to stack or line up these jelly packs in restaurants and I will like to make them even when I put them back. I don't know if that counts. I have arranged candies into color and eat them or try and even them out as I eat or make patterns with them as I eat. That is if I pour them out of the pack. I wouldn't say I feel the compulsion to do it, it's just something I naturally do. So maybe no perhaps.

Wow, that was one looooooooooooooooooooooonnnnnnnnnnnggg test.

'Twas an interesting test. I especially enjoyed the fact that I was able to clarify and explain my answers--I have often longed for this option on other assessments, both medical and educational.

Yes, I liked that part of it too.

Hmm, I believe the term "Sociopath" is more correct. Psycopath tends to be used in the media/pop culture/general population as someone who is violent & criminally insane.
Not a glib, smooth talking liar like most of these people. As far as Personality Disorders go, I think this is almost the only valid one.
So far, I have only met autistics who are victims of these types of people, not members of their type. And I hope it stays that way, since I have already had more than enough of them in the person of my Ex ( There is a God!!) Stepfather.

People who have an ASD are fully capable of being AsPD and, at the very least, having multiple AsPD traits. People have this impression of those with ASDs growing up in a middle class household. Some of us start out on the 'wrong side of the tracks' and can be influenced by environment just like anyone else. Furthermore, very good acting skills are not uncommon in ASD. That combined with a analytical mind can allow them to manipulate people just like the sociopath. You don't have to have empathy for a person to manipulate them, you just have to observe behavior patterns. Two of the easiest ways to manipulate people is with compliments and acting as though you like what they like, even though it makes you want to puke. This doesn't involve any kind of emotion, it's just a series of 'p then q'.

P.S. My 'nickname' in high school wasn't ret*d, nerd, geek, etc,. It was "Psycho".

AsPD does not equal psychopathy. AsPD is basically just being a chronic criminal. Psychopathy is a personality type characterized by lack of affective empathy (the kind that is not affected by autism), reduced tendency to feel fear, and poor self-control. Many AsPD individuals are psychopaths, but others are not. Psychopathy has a strong genetic component, while non-psychopathic AsPD is mostly caused by the environment.

Both autism and psychopathy are estimated to affect about 1% of the population. By sheer chance alone, it'd be expected that there'd be the occasional person with both conditions.

My results. Thanks

Autism Spectrum Quotient - 38, autism cutoff 32

Levenson's Self-Report Psychopathy Scale - 37, psychopathy cutoff 58

Sensation Seeking Scale - 3, population average 15-16

I got my results.
It seems I like doing activities more than most people with autism.

Autism Spectrum Quotient - 37, autism cutoff 32
Levenson's Self-Report Psychopathy Scale - 52, psychopathy cutoff 58
Sensation Seeking Scale - 27, population average 15-16

Yes, most autistics have scored much lower than population average so far.

Is it normal that you don't get results? Will I get them via e-mail?

If you took the test, you should get the results in your email. But, it will take a little time because I think the test is being graded manually which is quite time consuming.
