I’ve taken the AQ test – have you?

Autism-Spectrum Quotient Test:

Psychologist Simon Baron-Cohen and his colleagues at Cambridge’s Autism Research Centre have created the Autism-Spectrum Quotient, or AQ, as a measure of the extent of autistic traits in adults. In the first major trial using the test, the average score in the control group was 16.4. Eighty percent of those diagnosed with autism or a related disorder scored 32 or higher. The test is not a means for making a diagnosis, however, and many who score above 32 and even meet the diagnostic criteria for mild autism or Asperger’s report no difficulty functioning in their everyday lives.

My result:

Agree: 12,13,16,22,23,26: 1 point
Disagree: 1,10,11,17,29,30,38,47,50: 1 point
Score: 15

I guess I’m not that autistic after all. ;-) According to Vox Day’s book, The Irrational Atheist, lots of Atheists are somewhat autistic.

“On one of the more popular atheist Internet sites, the average self-reported result on an Asperger Quotient test was 27.9.” (p. 17)

If true, I wonder what it means…


Svar

  1. Ja så er jeg så mere autistisk end du er… Sjov test :-) Men jeg er nu mere til Myers-Briggs. (ikke at det i grunden helt kan sammenlignes)

  2. Jeg finder det ikke usandsynligt, hvis MBTI og AQ overlapper hinanden lidt… lidt meget.

  3. Tja… mon ikke autister har en tendens til at være I og J ?!

  4. Jeg fik 23 ;)

  5. 19 her…

  6. Jeg fik 14. Jeg er lidt skuffet over at jeg ikke fik højere score :P

  7. Agree: 5,12,22,35,43,46: 1 point
    Disagree: 1,11,17,30,37,38,49,50: 1 point
    Score: 14

    Fik dette resultat, hvadend det så betyder :)
