Posing as NT (aka Aspie Quiz is BS)

Post Reply New Topic

The Aspie quiz is not only a matter of perspective but understanding.

A person may answer the question 'Are you sensitive to light?' with a 2, despite that the 2 should only mean a crippling sensory issue.

I don't know how to post the graph, but my scores say:

Your neurodiverse (Aspie) score: 89 of 200
Your neurotypical (non-autistic) score: 110 of 200
You seem to have both neurodiverse and neurotypical traits

This has been fairly consistent over the past 8 years that I have been taking it (I think I have been randomly taking it about that long).

I don't think I "pose" as NT and I don't think I "pose" as AS. I think it is pretty accurate. I am somewhere in between.

My graph is pretty much closely clustered toward the middle with a huge spike pointing to the NT side of attachment. The other notably different score is that the "social" on the neurodiverse side collapses down to 1. Other than those two things, everything else ranges between a 2 and 5. My "talent" and "communication" scores are the same on both sides.

Has that initial piece always been part of the test? I don't recall seeing it before. It makes me sad that some people must feel that persecuted during their life. I had a hard time answering those questions because there isn't even an option that basically says "I probably wouldn't notice/think about this at all"

Ha!

I blame it on the ADD, baby! (bonus points to those who recognize that!)

No, it is a temporary part that a professional wanted to research. There are also a number of other experimental questions right now that also are temporary. None of them affect the result.


BTW, I think the attachment and contact dimensions will be joined together. Especially the NT attachment dimension is problematic.
