1700?!?!?!?!? Now that's dedication... or madness! :D

I did about 250 on my 1st profile before deleting it to avoid a stalker... only at about 100 again. I'd like to add words to each one but it's so much work for so many!

I don't have special interests, have to be obsessed with something ;)

I have 1110. I answered like 500 when I was sick. The questions are amusing sometimes. I agree that the funny ones would make a good thread.

I got a new personality too.

more competitive
more literary
more sex-driven
more introverted
more kind
more spiritual
more indie
more spontaneous
more compassionate

less experienced in love
less organized
worse mannered
less arrogant
less energetic
less experienced in life
less giving
less ambitious

Argh! You've got me on this and now I can't find where you get that list of answers and stuck looking around at pretty ladies... :lol:

Wasn't intending to sign up, but I may as well give it a go.

Girls would always ask for a soft caring guy but then ignore all of them cause they don't look like studs...

I kind of fail doing this test thing. Some of these questions I did not understand how to answer accurately, and some of them I should of just had skipped. I also had a few lag spikes only when visiting OKCupid that ended up messing around the results. I'm glad I don't take it seriously, this site is making me seem like someone I'm not lol. It got independent right and less mathematical... The rest is wrong.

So far:

more independent
less spiritual
less romantic
less mathematical

I don't know if I will be filling out many more questions heh.

Is there a way to use the asperger test in OKC as a screening tool to quickly identify those who are aspie or could have characteristics?

You really shouldn't answer all the questions. If, for example, you don't care much about politics or are happy dating someone with dissimilar political views, it's probably best to avoid answering political questions. Generally the best you can do with them is to alienate potential matches.

Also, questions that have little relevance to anything tend to give you a small chance to increase match ratings but a larger chance to decrease them overall. Try to evaluate the question and determine whether a compatible match would care about your answer, whether you would care about their answer, and on that basis whether you should answer the question and allow it to influence your match and friend ratios. When in doubt, skip the question. Answering too many can lead to low ratios due to "incompatibilities" stemming from questions that aren't especially relevant.

That seems like sound advice. Perhaps I will use this if I ever feel like I need to use the site for dating or friend purposes. I just did it for the thread here. Now I am a bit too careless and lazy to go back and edit questions, redo them, and answer more of them. Maybe some other time I will get back to it!

I've answered 1300. Though I answered most of them a long time ago. I don't think I'd answer them the same now as I did back then, so I have a lot to go back and re-answer but it's too daunting to do.

What's the best way to screen for those who are compatible with aspies or have characteristics of aspies on OKC's search?

Oh, but that's the beauty of it. You answer the question, and mark that it is irrelevant what your match answers. So, you will be okay with any of their answers, cos you don't care, but if THEY care, they can see if your response is what they want.

P.S. It's impossible to answer ALL the questions :P

Yeah I answered most of mine quite some time ago. Every now and then I go back and check some. Just a few at a time. Or when I notice my answer when looking into someone else's profile and realise I don't think that way anymore.

more experienced in love
more geeky
more introverted
more artsy
more love-driven
more literary

less spiritual
less organized
less old-fashioned
less sex-driven
less political

True for the most part save for the politics and perhaps the sex-drive. I specifically avoided most of the political questions (although the few I did answer would reveal my liberal leanings) and sex questions because a lot of that is pretty personal and/or inflammitory.
