The Disorders and Character Flaws Thread

Took some time to find an English one (had a dutch one here, same questions)
Here goes:
Wired 9.12: Take The AQ Test

This is actually a pretty serious test.
It's used as an intake-test for people of whom they expect some autism disorder.
If you score anything above 24, it's suspicious

.
If you score anything above 32, you have a 80% rate of indeed having an autistic disorder.
This, of course, is based on people taking this test and then lots of tests after that.

Pretty much everyone who's tested for autism gets this test in the Netherlands.
It's actually developed by the cousin of Sacha Baron-Cohen (Yes, Ali G.). ;D.

Another interesting thing: There's a lot of autists on my own forum.
And I discovered this very strange thing: Everyone who scored 33 on the test, is actually a close friend of mine. There's also people who scored lower who are close friends of mine, but seven people scored 33 and all seven of them were friends. About 100 people did that test. I scored 33 myself, too, by the way.

Neither am I, which is typical for aspergers

.
Yeah you might want to think in that direction, should you ever run into problems.
But if you're fine with the way your life is right now, then why bother

oh! you mentioned autism, so i thought all the questions about remembering phone numbers and license plates were signs. but i'm really, really bad with dates and phone numbers. i don't even know what my own phone, and i have to write my wedding anniversary down so i don't forget it!

anyway yeah i get along. i just have my quirks, same as everyone else

My brother has high-functioning autism.

I scored 6 on that test by the way

s_k · 12-10-2010, 01:47 PM

That's exceptionally low. A friend of mine has scored 2...

I've taken that test a few times before and have usually scored between 5 and 10. I answered all the questions honestly!
