To say I have been having problems at home may be slightly understated, but I would like to issue a warning to others out there that may be in the same circumstances. I was told in no uncertain terms that I have certain tendencies – which are and have drastically impeded my family and relationship. So in search of the truth I discovered this little self test. I will not reveal the score I got – its self incriminating and support the views given by someone, but it was a shock to me.


To all those who end up testing “positive”, time to re-assess a few things in your life, especially if you are completely unaware? Do something before its far too late!!

Hey Dave

Don’t be too hard on yourself – we all have stuff we need to learn about ourselves; that’s the fun of life. I have found it is a continuous process and no sooner has the veil obscuring one issue lifted, the next challenge in self awareness begins to surface!

You are a warm, big hearted bloke so at least you are starting from a good baseline.

Cheers

I scored 24, higher than the control group 16.4, but below the 32+ that 80% of people with autism or other disorders score. It probably does reflect my character, I get frustrated at work when people disrupt my routine workflow!

[Karls48 (Karl)]

I scored 24 points, which fits to my personality of unsociable person with bad memory for numbers

[astroron (Ron)]

I also scored 24.

Another 24 for me.

Whatever our strengths and weaknesses, if you spend a little shared time with each member of the family on most days you'll probably do okay. (so make sure you talk about solar activity with the kids and watch Battlestar Gallactica with the wife)

[Kal (Andrew)]

I think 24 is normal, the 16.4 average of the control group must indicate some sort of disorder there

[Kal (Andrew)]

Actually, I think the webpage is broken and returning 24 regardless of what you answer. I put in "strongly agree" to every question and still got 24

What a waste of time that was. Bad quiz too , does not generate the result automatically , you have do to the calcs yourself.

[Starkler (Geoff)]

Broken alright.

At the end I pressed the calculate button and get a screen showing the perl script

As Kal indicated above, I think the website is broken?

[Kal (Andrew)]

For recognising the pattern that the website is broken, do I get an extra point?

[h0ughy (David)]

do it the manual way - print and highlight your answers then add up. thanks for the response - I have redone mine

yes, the web site is stuffed. That means I score 50 points and am the greatest person in the world. Definitely the most social and lovable character ever
Well if I don't sing my own panegyric, nobody else will

[ving (David)]

got 24 myself... the calculate page seems to launch a non-working page of html... i calculated from that page...

have no idea what it all means tho cause the calc page didnt load properly... basically i am hopless in remembering numbers (or anything) which according to you guys is normal :p

[Lester]

24 for me. Does that mean I could become a good librarian, instead of just a farmer?

[AdrianF (Adrian)]

I tried it and got gibberish all over the screen. Maybe its trying to tell me something.

My sister who is a psychologist always suspected I had Asperger's.

Doesn't a score of 50 mean you are crazy and pschopathic and sociopathic .... wait ..... a perfect score for an astronomer (and an engineer !!!) ..... so why did I only get 1/2 that ???
