On another thread, a poster mentioned aspie quizzes online, and I found one.

Apparently, this is my score...

Your Aspie score: 134 of 200
Your neurotypical (non-autistic) score: 76 of 200
You are very likely an Aspie

How reliable are these things?

So... what does a "normal" one look like? I'd be interested!

I would imagine that it would look like the mirror image of your results..... The left side is NT characteristics and the right side is AS characteristics.......

My "aspie" score was 122. It doesn't change the fact that I have (or used to have) many of the traits.

Also, Alex (the creator of WP) scored in the 70s for his Aspie section. I hardly think it's a definitive test.

It depends on the honesty of his answers.
He also might have undergone therapy and socialized enough to acquire NT-like characteristics.
I have no idea how he got diagnosed, but he seems completely normal to me. He even looks/behaves a lot like an NT guy I know from my school.

I personally think that's the best online aspie test out there. However, with any of these tests, it can be hard to answer some of the questions, and some of them just don't apply. I have trouble with questions that are based on what other people think(?!) or what they tell me, like, "Others tell me that I have strange habits". People don't tell me anything; That's part of the problem. I've never had a social group of people who know me well enough to take the liberty of pointing out things that they notice. And I have no idea what other people think of me. People could be sitting around right now, thinking, "Oh that Elderwanda is a piece of work, isn't she?" but I doubt it. How the heck would I know?


Some questions just cause my brain to freeze, and I don't know how to even conceptualize it, let alone answer it, like, "I solve problems in odd ways." I don't know! Give me an example of a problem and let's see how I solve it. I can't just think of "how I solve problems." Or "It's hard for me to work out people's intentions?" Again, I don't know. I never think about people's intentions...unless they change lanes without signalling. What kind of intentions do people have that I'm supposed to be trying to "work out"?

So, I struggle with a lot of those, and put what feels right at the time, which is sometimes "I don't know".


I've taken it many times, because that's one of my weird things that I do. I always get between 131 and 140 for the AS traits, and something like 60 for the NT traits. It always says, "You might be an aspie."

While these tests may be somewhat informative and give you an idea of some of the traits of AS and where you may loosely fall on the spectrum, whether or not they consider you to be "an Aspie" is total bullsh**. What makes an Aspie an Aspie? At what point does one stop becoming an NT and start becoming an Aspie? It's arbitrary and random, and only serves the purpose of assigning a label to yourself. There is another thread going about the dangers of labeling people, especially in an arbitrary manner like this.
