36, but I don't think I'm autistic in the least, merely unhappy with socializing. I do have a bad habit of wasting lots of time studying patterns in things though; it's one of my worst habits when I'm reading something, that I start focusing on the spaces between the letters instead, and start seeing images there. I often think I could make a horrible painter if I had any talent for it, because of this constant pattern-seeking.

I dislike the term introverted, because for me it paints me the image of a smug gothy teenager, but I have always had a hard time with people, and it's only gotten worse over the years (to the extent that I'd break off the few friendships I had, because I didn't want to be in more social situations than I had to), so I guess that definition fits me much better than autist. Perhaps anti-social fits even better. Some day I will read more up on this sort of thing, to really groom my ego by trying to figure out "what sort of person" I am.

Read up about Asperger's Syndrome, which is basically a mild form of autism.

20. I was surprised it was that low -- I had been apprehensive about taking the test because I thought I'd get a high score.

v. disappointed as i have convinced myself for years that i have had full blown asperger's syndrome. i should be so lucky!

― stirmonster, Monday, 23 February 2004 20:30 (twenty years ago) link

16, apparently. Interesting.

21.

I get the people that many "average" people who get around 16.4 either lie or are not able to realistically assess their feelings and abilities.

Why?

24, thought it would be higher...

― Blood and sparkles (bloodandsparkles), Monday, 23 February 2004 21:12 (twenty years ago) link

I got 20. That's not a very interesting result, I'm disappointed. I like to stand out from the crowd - which is why I score high on narcissism tests.

I guess unsurprisingly, almost all of the people on this thread I actually know in real life have had low scores.

― N. (nickdastoor), Monday, 23 February 2004 22:53 (twenty years ago) link

"unsurprisingly"

"real life"

― Ronan (Ronan), Monday, 23 February 2004 23:01 (twenty years ago) link

i got 37 by answering all the questions honestly. however, i doubt i am autistic or have aspergers or anything. i'm just not very good at conversation, hate socialising with people i'm not close to, and i'm good at remembering peoples phone numbers and license plates is all.

― The Lady Ms Lurex (lucylurex), Monday, 23 February 2004 23:02 (twenty years ago) link

13, though i'm pretty good at numbers and in fact can remember almost any telephone number i've used more than once, it is my weird superpower.

― s1ocki (slutsky), Monday, 23 February 2004 23:02 (twenty years ago) link

I can't understand why people seem to want higher scores than they got, or think that a high score would be a "better" thing to have.

I wasn't surprised by my score as I have displayed autistic tendencies since early childhood. I'd rather have had a lower score, but then that wouldn't be me. However, I might not have been the exception to the low-scoring people N. knows in real life.

― ailsa (ailsa), Monday, 23 February 2004 23:09 (twenty years ago) link

Yes, you were :)

What kind of correlation, Tom? I was thinking of doing an average, but maybe I am not autistic enough to be bothered.

19 - i'm great with dates, numbers, etc., but although i'm very introverted, i do enjoy people and know how to deal with social situations.

― Kareem Estefan (Kareem Estefan), Monday, 23 February 2004 23:30 (twenty years ago) link

I got a 30, but there were several that I couldn't decide on "agree" or "disagree" so I thought "ah fuck it," *random click*. So I don't think it's accurate at all.

― Curt1s St3ph3ns, Monday, 23 February 2004 23:41 (twenty years ago) link

All tests are like that. You have to get used to swallowing your pride and just selecting one of the ones that's the least bad option. I sometimes bear in mind where I've maybe overdone it on one question and make amends on a similar one later on.

" can't understand why people seem to want higher scores than they got"

because having a higher score would make you more geeky and obsessive about music which is why we are all here.

Right?
