Large Likert scales work differently between NDs and NTs, and so is not a good idea.


How differently?


When I used a 10 point Likert scale in the attractivity test many years ago, chi-2 analysis indicated NDs and NTs didn't use the scale the same way. The same when I let people rate landscape pictures on a 5 point Likert scale.

Other than that, some items are yes-no, and then a 3 point scale is a bit ok (the mid point can be considered as "not sure"), while with a 5 point scale, it becomes a lot more strange. When I answer the quiz myself, I use the extremes most of the time, and the mid-point for "not sure". This makes filling it out quick. When I filled out the monotropism quiz which has a 5 point scale, I needed to think a lot more for each question to provide a graded response, and therefore it takes a lot longer with the same amount of questions. So, another reason for keeping the 3 point scale is that more items can be used without risking that people get tired.

The first real version 5 is now up. It has 109 standard questions and 4 controls. This is eight less than in version 4. There still are a few experimental questions, but I'll clean it up as they have been tested, and possibly add some of them.

It wouldn't be an exact percentage but if I had to guess, I would shoot for around 70%

Is there a link for us to take it?

Are you able to put the link here again? I am very weak right now and searching for it will overwhelm me. Thank you. :heart:

When I took the quiz, it gave me a high probability of being neurotypical, but not all of my traits were mentioned. And I didn't answer all the questions, feeling uncomfortable with some of them.

Although I have a number of neurodivergent traits, I don't think I'd be diagnosed as I'm neurotypical in the ways that seem to be primary indicators. I don't have to keep to a strict routine. I'm quite flexible and adaptable and not too bothered by change. I'm nomadic, having moved more than 100 times in my life, around 12 different countries, including some with really diverse cultures. I am not super orderly and don't have to have everything arranged in a specific way. Although I am quite shy in certain circumstances, I can easily start chatting with anyone, stranger or not. And I love hugs.

But I am highly sensitive to noise, and have misophonia to certain noises. I am extremely sensitive to certain smells; e.g. tobacco smoke makes me crazy. Some fabrics, especially most synthetics, make my skin crawl. I am somewhat face-blind, and often don't recognize acquaintances, even if they are people I've seen often, especially if I see them in a different context than usual. Body temperature regulation is extremely poor. And sometimes if I'm not focused on anything, I'll often look for 5s in visual patterns or objects, like the number of surfaces or the number of posts/spaces between posts. I often rock when I'm meditating, and occasionally when I'm not. I do have some social anxiety in spite of being able to start up casual conversations. I have a much greater need for silence and solitude than most people, so I am alone most of the time. Even as a small child, I felt that the culture I grew up in was really weird. It never felt normal to me, which seems pretty bizarre.

I tried to do it in English but I gave up because I don't think the language is precise enough, and I've already answered a lot with (?) because I didn't know what to answer in my native language.
I only have a diagnosis of autism and dyspraxia (and depression too, but they don't mention depression in the Aspie Quizz report).

Did you watch the detailled report? It is quite interesting about your struggles and your particularities.

Because of my rather low neurotypical talents, I wonder if I would have yet another comorbidity than dyspraxia (they didn't mention depression and dyspraxia in the report but only dyslexia, dyscalculia and ADD/ADHD for this item).
My neuroatypical highs talents could indicate OCD (but I was told I didn't have that).

According to them, my dyspraxia can be seen in my low neurotypical perception.
My neuroatypical perception is a little above average, but frankly nothing special: an high score in this item could mean that we could have unusual perceptions.

I have very low neurotypical communication and they say this can be explained by ASD.
They said a high neuroatypical communication would indicate unusual communication. My neuroatypical communication is a little above average but nothing special which confirms the fact that I can mask (I am a woman so I mask better than many men).

In conclusion, the combination of my traits distances me more from those of a neurotypical person than it brings me closer to those of a neuroatypical person.

Neuroatypical traits: 136/200.
Neurotypical traits: 69/200.

I don't think this version 5 is reliable at all. For example, there's a REPEAT, word for word: #135 and #151: "Do you find it hard to be emotionally close to other people?"

It said I have a 77% chance of being an NT - even though I have a clinical diagnosis of ASD.

Below are some of the questions that just aren't fair or easy to answer.

Do you dislike it when people drop by to visit you uninvited?
How would I know if I’ve never had friends in adulthood? The only people who drop by are service people like plumbers, carpet cleaners, washing machine repair, etc.

Would you discuss relationship issues with your best friends?
How would I know when I’ve never had best friends and never any serious relationships?

Are you asexual?
Define this. I’ve seen different definitions.

Do you get a pleasurable tingling sensation in the head, scalp or back of the body in response to certain sounds?
Does listening to particular sections of classical music count?

Do you get overwhelmed by things your body senses?
Too broad; not sure what this means.

Do you stay away from situations where people might express affection for you?
Does this mean romantic affection? Or Aunt Virginia or Uncle Wade? Or Gramps or Nana? Or some distant cousin who’s creepy?

Do you prefer to only meet people you know, one-on-one, or in small, familiar groups?
This isn’t clear; poorly worded.

Are you more sexually attracted to strangers than to people you know well?
Have no idea.

Are you passionate about a few topics at any one time in your life?
Aren’t most NTs this way? AS WELL AS Autistics.

Do you have difficulty accepting criticism, correction, and direction?
This was #120, nearly identical to #67

Do you dislike being hugged when you haven’t asked for it?
By whom? Coworkers? Neighbors? Acquaintances? Family members?

Result - 118/200 87% atypical

Please accept my (hopefully) constructive comments

One thing I've always noticed about these kinds of test is that some of the questions are about other people's opinions and not about the person taking the test e.g.

Do people tell you your experiences aren't real?
Do people drop hints about you or say things with a double meaning?
Do people tell you you get fixated on things?
Have others noticed that you have an odd posture or gait?
Do people think you are smiling at the wrong occasion?
Do people get mad at you when you don't act the way they expect you to?

My answers to all these questions is 'No' because I don't hang out with rude people. They could be thinking it for all I know, but they're too polite to mention it.


A couple of the questions are very difficult to answer, as they don't really apply to me. e.g.

Do you dislike it when people stamp their foot on the floor?
Do you feel an urge to peel flakes off yourself and others?

I don't know anyone who would stamp their foot on the floor or who is currently covered in flakes (skin?), so my answer's got to be 'No'


Some questions have a more complex answer than is allowed e.g.

Do you avoid going to places where there will be many people because you will get anxious?

I DO get anxious where there are loads of people, but I force myself to go because it's a means to an end e.g. a crowded supermarket so I can get food or a crowded gig, so I can see a band. I therefore have to answer 'No'


Some questions could perhaps do with further clarification e.g.

Do you notice patterns in things all the time?

The first time I ever did this quiz, I took this question literally and thought it was referring to patterns in material etc., so I said 'No'.


Some questions are ambiguous e.g.

Do you cry about nothing?
Have you tended to over-react to situations?

Perhaps these should be tweaked to say something like

Do you cry about things that you believe that the average person wouldn't cry about?
Have you been in a situation where you have reacted more strongly than you believe that the average person would have done?

These would both be a 'No'. If I'm crying about something, it's obviously not nothing to me or I wouldn't be crying about it. Same with 'over-reacting'.



I don't really understand this question.

Do you have an urge to jump over things?

Please could you add some examples. Do you mean random objects?


But despite all that ... you still scored a 118, which puts you well within Aspie range.
