I was just wondering.

My results were:

152 of 200 neurodiverse (Aspie)
48 of 200 neurotypical (non-autistic)
You are very likely neurodiverse (Aspie)

No as good as an actual diagnosis

They're okay---nothing more--in my opinion.

Out of curiosity, I took this test again. My results were:

Your neurodiverse (Aspie) score: 122 of 200
Your neurotypical (non-autistic) score: 93 of 200
You seem to have both neurodiverse and neurotypical traits

I found many of the questions difficult to answer. Some examples:

Q: "Have you experienced stronger than normal attachments to certain people?"
- Initially, I thought "no". But, then I wondered whether my Mom counted, particularly when I was younger (as I was deeply attached to my Mom growing up). Does that count?

Q: "Is your sense of humor fairly conventional?"
- I think George Carlin is funny. Does that make my sense of humor conventional or non-conventional? I have no idea.

Q: "Do others often misunderstand you?"
- Well, those who have logical minds (e.g. people at work) generally do not have issues understanding what I am trying to communicate. Does that count?

Q: "Do you forget you are in a social situation when something gets your attention?"
- I had no idea what this means.

Q: "Are you more sexually attracted to strangers than to people you know well?"
- Doesn't the answer to this depend upon the people you know well?

I could go on and on...

I realize how difficult it is to write these "screening" tests (and have them correctly interpreted). In any event, I 100% agree with your first post (i.e., "They're okay---nothing more").

Not very in my opinion. It shows what you think of yourself, nor what is actually the truth.
