Thanks, if it isn't revised from earlier I've taken it. Is it revised? Have you taken the rdos? It's pretty comprehensive.

I get 32 consistently. I even just retook the test using definitely agree or disagree only and came up with the same thing. So I guess that's it then. Seems low until you notice the average person scores below 20. I get 163 As 42 NT on the rdos.

34.

But I find some things on Baron Cohen's AQ test confusing. It's mostly his questions about using imagination, because it seems this test was made with the idea that people on the spectrum aren't interested in imagining or reading/watching fiction. Obviously just by spending time on here, that's not the case.

It seems to be based on a rather limited view of how someone with Asperger's could be. Reality is much more diverse.

Shows you've only just got enough of the symptoms to be on the spectrum. You must be very high functioning. Right??? Although the test isn't for diagnostic purposes.

Are you autistic too? Wow... Bellow 32 is supposed to be not autistic, although the test is not for diagnostic purpose's & I think a lot of the questions can be difficult to understand the language of to a person with autism.

My AQ is 48/50. Don't need to take it again--I've taken it so many times, and always get a 48.
