According to the psychological community, schizophrenia and autism are highly similar to each other and the psychological community seems to believe that schizophrenia is like autism, except with hallucinations/delusions on top of it. If this is so, then it seems reasonable there might be some link between autism and various tests that test for schizotypal traits, like the O-LIFE test...

So, what was your score?

(I copied the text around the graphs by selecting the area around all the graphs with my mouse, and then copied it and pasted it below.)

You scored 8% on Unusual_Experiences, higher than 68% of your peers.

You scored 7% on Cognitive_Disorganisation, higher than 44% of your peers.

You scored 3% on Introvertive_Anhedonia, higher than 25% of your peers.

You scored 6% on Impulsive_Nonconformity, higher than 55% of your peers.

I may take the test tomorrow: right now I'm not mentally suited to any test.

Unusual Experiences: 8%Cognitive Disorganization: 6%Introvertive Anhedonia: 0%Impulsive Nonconformity: 4%


Surprising result as I usually get a very high score for Schizotypal when I do those Personality Disorder quizzes.

Bad test, I think that the questions are poorly written, they confuse sensory overload with a person experiencing things which are not there. One of the symptoms of Schizophrenia is that a person may start to hallucinate or have their senses respond to things which do not exist.

These are the raw scores to your test:Unusual Experiences: 4%Cognitive Disorganization: 9%Introvertive Anhedonia: 2%Impulsive Nonconformity: 4%(Higher percentages indicate schizotypal tendencies.)Unusual experiences encompass seeing things that aren't there, belief that you have magical abilities, or the idea that mysterious forces control the world.Cognitive Disorganization is when you are overly distractible, have trouble controlling your thoughts, or have trouble interacting in busy places.Introvertive anhedonia is an inability to derive pleasure from normally pleasurable activates like eating, social interaction, or sex.Impulsive nonconformity is a desire to be different from average people including the urge to smash things, overspending/overindulging, or trying to set yourself apart from the general population.

You scored 4% on Unusual_Experiences, higher than 31% of your peers.

You scored 9% on Cognitive_Disorganisation, higher than 65% of your peers.

You scored 2% on Introvertive_Anhedonia, higher than 16% of your peers.

You scored 4% on Impulsive_Nonconformity, higher than 34% of your peers.

Diagnosed under the DSM5 rules with autism spectrum disorder, under DSM4 psychologist said would have been AS (299.80) but I suspect that I am somewhere between 299.80 and 299.00 (Autism) under DSM4.

No thank you, at that. I'm not interested in getting involved with a dating site (which already appears to know my e-mail address!). I'm already getting a ton of spam from "hot 22-yr-old girls" who "have seen my profile" somewhere and are begging to send me nude pictures of themselves, and this appears to be more of the same. Why are they all 22? At 18 or 21 they'd be legal, and at 23 just as pretty, and a little more mature.
