The further a corner is from the centre, the more points you have in that category.

Sim, for instance, has low compulsivity and perception, but highly neurotypical communication and hunting behavior.

Your Aspie score: 106 of 200
Your neurotypical (non-autistic) score: 127 of 200
You seem to have both Aspie and neurotypical traits

I have to say, that was an odd questionnaire.  I appreciate that they had a "Don't Know" answer, but then I start second-guessing what that counts for.  And some of the questions are repeats with different wording, which I guess is a consistency factor.  Doesn't really tell me much.

Yeah, they check for consistency. Someone didn't get a graph because his answers were to inconsistent.

So the fuck does hunting mean?

[Darvi]

Determination maybe? Tracking skills? Ruthlessness?

According to the downloadable PDF, they tell you:

Aspie hunting
This group contains passive hunting traits. One part of the traits is related to preferred habitats (e.g. slowly flowing water; caves; woods; liking mist or fog). Another part seems to be
close-contact hunting traits (e.g. jumping over things; climbing; chasing animals; biting; enjoying spinning in circles; strong grip; strong hands; physical endurance; enjoying rodeo riders).
Some other traits are related to sneaking (e.g. sneaking through the woods; sneaking up on animals; walking on toes) and general hunting tactics (e.g. mimicking animal sounds; digging;
throwing small things; building traps; fascination for fire; sniffing)
Diagnostic relation
None.

Neurotypical hunting
The traits in this group are related to cooperative hunting. These traits are often described in terms of dysfunctions. Typical traits are recollections of environmental information (e.g.
positions of things; scores in games; order of words, letters and digits; map reading) and passing on information to others (e.g. passing on messages; knowing left from right; dates and times
of events; remembering appointments and events; reading clocks and calendars; carrying over information between contexts). Other traits are related to trading and exchange with others (e.g.
calculating change from a purchase; knowing what to bring to appointments; remembering sequences of past events; remembering formulas; filling out forms).
Diagnostic relation
A low score is related to Dyslexia and Dyscalculia.

Having that guide, and figuring out the scores of others can give you much better insight. My glaring weakpoint, according to the potato, shows that I am less a socialite, and more of an oddball that prefers working alone. Also because I also don't trust people to get a process done right, or my methods would be questioned without hesitation. For most relevance, check out the "Things Bay12ers can no longer do in RPGs" thread, and just how many things I can list off the top of my head. Sad/Crazy Awesome thing, I would actually consider resorting to some of them in any campaign provided I can. Key example, sending a flock of chickens to take out dinosaurs (and it works). THE POWER OF EVOLUTION COMPELS YOU!!!

On a plus side, I will admit I'm crazy, but I embrace my craziness because I know how to use it to turn it into degrees of Crazy Awesome much of the time. But I also mostly do Crazy Awesome things to screw with peoples' heads. It's pretty fun, and makes life more fun as well.

[ChairmanPoo]

meh, I question the basis of these tests in general. That whole "hunting" thing sounds like bs to me.

[Vector]

Yes, this test is almost completely BS.

Case in point: according to this, I should be overwhelmed by autistic processes, but I'm not.

They also don't ask the correct forms of the questions.  Pacing when stressed is typical of both sides.  Pacing in little circles in a particular direction is the autistic stereotype.

I do that so much. People complain that I'm making them nervous when I walk around the livingroom table for ten minutes.

Oh dear. I used to wear a groove in the floor in the kitchen because I would pace in a counter-clockwise fashion around the kitchen table whenever I talked on the phone (in part because I hate talking on the phone). I've always kinda wondered if I was borderline autistic, or some variation of autism. I also have a thing where I virtually never look someone in the eyes when talking to them, unless they're close friends or family. I tend to look "past" them, or in an entirely different direction altogether. It takes serious will and concentration to force myself to make eye contact. I've heard that's also symptomatic of autism.

EDIT: I'll have to take that test thingy when I have the time.

[Darvi]

You mean like characters in animated cartoons and comics that walk around in circles until there's a doughnut-shaped hole in the floor?

[Pnx]

So I compiled everyone's results together.
A note, Solifuge, and Toonyman used image hosting websites which meant I couldn't use the numbers in the image url (damn them for respecting the quiz's bandwidth!), so I didn't use their images. Chairmanpoo and Megaman had no images, but I used their score anyway, and Cheese didn't give a score.

Neurotypical score: 111 out of 200

So out of those of us that participated.
We score out as about 90% aspie
Talent, compulsive, and social lean towards aspie, whereas communication and hunting lean more towards neurotypical.
Perception is only slightly more neurotypical.
Which is actually more or less what I'd expect. Although I want to comment I think this is a pretty poor way to judge your aspie levels.

You can get a copy of the spreadsheet (in excel and open office format) here.


So what does compiling data say about me aspie-wise?


EDIT: so I mislabelled median as mean. Fixed!

[Darvi]

Nothing, but it does tell me that you like to do graphs.

[Vector]

@Redking: Yes, it is, but there are degrees of every behavior and trait.  "How you do" is as important as "what you do" in this case.  Eye contact things can be social anxiety, or it can be an autistic behavior.  Usually, one can tell due to the apparent naturalness of the gaze and its patterns of movement.

[SolarShado]

Um... average == mean...
