Some of those video clips lagged horribly for me and left me guessing the answer based on the frozen facial expression at the end of the clip. I also thought there was supposed to be a "practice question" and I thought I was supposed to be able to select more than one answer per video clip. XP So, either I'm seeing things or something is up.

Then there was the issue with not knowing the exact definitions of some of those words...

how come the average NT scores are *lower* than suspected ASD scores?
My score was 16, I doubt if that means anything though.

I've noticed a lot of "NT" people, especially men, that seem completely oblivious to tone of voice and facial expressions,.. And people that seem to not consider other people's feelings...

But, they don't really have the other AS symptoms... And I have many of the other symptoms and problems communicating verbally, but I seem to be above average when it comes to actually reading people when I am paying attention.
I just focus on details and am also very inwardly focused and easily overwhelmed. I think that accounts for most of the times I've screwed up in social situations.

Anyhow, this is also an online test that has probably mostly been taken by a certain type of person... the kind that sits around taking online tests and the like.

Weren't there 23 questions?

Anyway I would hazard a guess that if you have to generally spend a disproportionate amount of time observing interactions and trying to figure out what others may be thinking and feeling (ie if it doesn't come naturally to you), you are probably better at it simply because you have more practice at it.

I'm better than the average neurotypical. How did that happen?
Wind you it is a film , and I don't have to interact with them in any way or deal with other competing stimuli. Still.....
