55

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.

Thank you for posting all of these...now I have many ways to present things to my Dr...and best of all my Mother

I took these a couple of weeks ago so I don't remember all the scores perfectly:

BAP: I scored Rigid and Pragmatic.
AQ: When I first took this I scored 26. I took it again later with a better understanding of the questions and scored 35. I am not sure if either score is accurate for me.
EQ/SQ: I forget the exact score, but I was "extreme systemizer."
EIQ: I scored in the 60s.
HSP: Was...24 I think? It told me I was highly sensitive.
Reading the mind in the eyes: 18
Face Memory: 79%
Aspie Quiz: 147 Aspie, 79 neurotypical

Your result for The Broad Autism Phenotype Test ...

Autistic/BAP
You scored 102 aloof, 118 rigid and 120 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.Your Analysis (Vertical line = Average)


You scored 102% on aloof, higher than 41% of your peers.


You scored 118% on rigid, higher than 87% of your peers.


You scored 120% on pragmatic, higher than 95% of your peers.


You scored 8% on diagnosis, higher than 84% of your peers.

-The AQ i got 41....lol

.-Respondent Average EQ Average SQ Brain Type
Males 39.0 61.2 Systemizing
Females 48.0 51.7 Empathizing
Your Score 13 73 Extreme Systemizing

-25 on th hsp

-25 on the eyes test, so average...

-aspie test
Your Aspie score: 166 of 200
Your neurotypical (non-autistic) score: 44 of 200
You are very likely an Aspie

Aspie quiz:
155/200 Aspie
38/200 NT

Oh and I basically failed the 'reading emotion' test. Marked 'B' for all of them because I couldn't tell what a single one said.

:O i think im face blind! 64% but i had to really concentrate! ive never even heard of it! oh well.

Challenge anyone to dramaticall improve theirscores from these tests, ensure you find out answer to all scores first. Do your best to remove all barriers autism puts in your way, loom up resources about body language, and practice speaking, including different tone of voice and modulating your voice. At the end of a month want to see if anyone can get rid of their diagnosis. Also mention any changes in medication. I believe it is possible for someone to do. Do whatever it takes without harming yourself or others to improve your social communication.

If your unemployed then search for a job, and try find employment
Forget all the stress, just try to be relax and you'll succeed.

I think some autistic people hold themselves back, sometimes they fret over what I feel is very little, if you are unsure just think what's the best and worst things that could happen

5. HSP: 22

6. Mind In the Eyes: 24 (I guessed a lot...was wishing they had an "I don't know" button. Although, I did recognize a few of the celebrities...lol)

7. Face Memory Test: Out of 72 faces, you correctly identified 50.
In other words, you got 69% correct.

8. Aspie-quiz:
Your Aspie score: 138 of 200
Your neurotypical (non-autistic) score: 87 of 200
You are very likely an Aspie

Looks like a duck, sounds like a duck...but without the "official" diagnosis, people still tell me that I'm not Aspie cause, "We are all uniquely different...." lol!

It is possible "quesonrias" that you do have some form of Autism, I don't think I know you so I couldn't comment but given the scores there it may be worthwhile pursing an official diagnosis.

What makes you feel you are autistic?

I don't know what scoring systems I was officially scored on this year unfortunately, but I only was positive on 1 out of 3 of them. The "Broader autistic phenotype" isn't an official diagnostic criteria as far as I am aware. The only one I know of is the DSM-IV and that involves meeting with a psychologist..

I think Asperger's syndrome diagnosis is dependent on having a certain level of social skills where as high functioning autism they are relatively deficient..

It is important to know you have autistic traits, and work on resolving them- you can get in touch with the National Autistic Society if you're in the UK for help such as in finding jobs, though to be honest having the label of Autism or Asperger's may not help you much except if you want to seek professional help. Feedback from others often helps.

I am currently looking at treatments for autism - when writing this I put a lot of it down in writing for the first time- thanks!
I tend to write too much -hence didn't post it here.

Does/has anyone on here benefitted from having an official diagnosis of autism? [Explain]

Thanks for your insight Ben.

As far as the things that make me feel like I might be Autistic/Aspie? Oh boy, where do I start? lol!

I've always been a good bit "different." In and of itself, that really is not abnormal, but it's the ways that I find myself to be different that tend to make me wonder. Things like:

* I am constantly interrupting people when I am on the phone because I can't tell when they are finished talking.
* I do the same in person, but not quite as much because I can tell when they are just taking a breath.
* I have taught myself to do certain things (such as look people in the eye, shake their hands firmly) because I know this is what people consider polite. If I do not force myself to do it, I will not naturally do so.
* I am often told that I drone on and on about things that no one else cares to hear about (the beauty of antique china plates, how light shines thru glass, what makes the leaves drop off trees when fall comes, etc.)
* I used to buy cards and gifts for everything. If someone made me feel happy, I bought them a thank you gift. If I thought of them, I bought them a card. Someone told me that it was creeping others out so I worked really hard to stop.
* I often have a difficult time explaining what I think or feel in a way that others will understand. I have become a bit of a wordsmith as a result.
* People often misunderstand what I mean by something I say. Either they do not understand the words/phrases I use or they do not understand if I am joking, that I mean for them to consider it, or if it is something that I think is of dire importance.
* I have often been called snobby or aloof because I do not see people when I am in public. Many times I have been told by others that they walked up to me and said, "Hello" only to have me look right past them and keep on going. I do the same when driving, I do not recognize cars when driving by them or watch the people in the cars.
* I collect antique china for the intricate detail of the blanks and patterns and have spent a great deal of time researching them, cataloging backstamps, and saving company histories. I also do this with old glass for the way it reflects light or the patterns contained on it. None of these items have an emotional value to me prior to collection.
* I do not like it when plans change unexpectedly
* I am a detail person to the extreme. So much so that people often get frustrated me when I hold projects or activities up because I don't feel like it's complete.
* I hate for people to drop by my home unannounced (so much so that I refuse to answer the door), as I have to mentally prepare myself for social interaction.
* It takes a great deal of energy for me to interact socially. When I do, there is a constant monologue running in my head of the things I should not say or do, or the things I should say or do, just so I can get through the day without people thinking I'm a total weirdo.
* I prefer to be alone. I like going places alone because then I can be at one with my thoughts and there is no one to interrupt them, and I do not have to spend most of my time focusing on what to do or not to do.
* I communicate much better in written form than verbally or by using non-verbal cues.
* I research everything. Google is my friend. I enjoy knowing a lot about a great variety of subjects (and sharing it with others). People often comment that I am like a walking Encyclopedia because of this.
* Attachment is difficult for me. It takes a long time for me to become attached to someone, but it is very, very easy for me to detach if I feel the relationship is not beneficial. I am very picky about the people I have around me.
* I cannot stand to watch someone struggle with something that I know I can do quickly. I have to fight the urge not to say, "Here, let me do that for you."
* I have learned to navigate social situations ok, but I still will not engage in them of my own accord.
* I over-explain everything (if you couldn't tell) because I tend to feel misunderstood.

There are more....but I think this gives a bit of a picture of what I mean. Could just be me being overly-sensitive to what others think, I guess, but it just always feels like people just don't get where I am coming from.

That must have taken you ages, but I appreciate that. You're like my double if that's the right word-take it you're from South America given the name, you can speak to me about light shining through glass and china, I collect Wedgewood, that's when it's going cheap on eBay. I bought an antique piece for about 7 pound including postage and found it was worth almost 200, I gave it to my mum and she wouldnt let me sell it and give her the money- it's a jasperware (blue) jug with White relief figures on it. you'll need to let me know what pieces shine in the light.

A lot of what you said does Indicate some degree of autism, probably Aspergers and you do the same as me, write in depth so you're not misunderstood [someone I spoke to recently doesn't like that. (Unfortunately overwhelms them). I wish I was more adept with words, I'm not a wordsmith. some NT criticised me for using the word check instead of double check and said this difference indicated I didnt have a clue.

The way to deal with any problem you have as a person with some autistic traits is to listen to feedback -it's not always valid -and see if you could improve for the better and think of how you could resolve it-which you're doing. You're a lot shyer than me, the people you're speaking to don't deserve to make you feel so introverted. I used to be really shy but acting made me a lot more confident. Females with some autistic traits seen to have some emotional baggage, where as men seem to be a bit more carefree.

Do I have to register with the website concerning the BAP test? And how do these scores everyone is posting relate to the AQ, autistic quotient, see another thread.

I take it the eq and sq etc measures are work ok Simon Baron-Cohen, right? I'll need to read up on those
