34.
But I am pretty certain that I don't have Aspergers. I noticed that a lot of those questions pertain to social situations, so a high score on there could be skewed towards introverts (such as myself).

didnt ask me to sign up. i got a 42. kind of makes me want to look further into it. not really sure if i should though.


You might wanna consider seeing someone in the professional field, that's kinda high.


Just don't see a psychiatrist, they'll try to medicalise you. You're not a disorder, you just do things a certain way.

I'm certified aspergers, but I took the test anyway. I scored 39.

I'm too apathetic to bother taking the test.  What does that make me?

I've been curious about this for my own case and so did the test a couple of times recently (including the Wired link - though the AQ test hosted at various sites seems pretty standard).

I got 40 and 41 for the times I did it.

I scored 17. And I have Asperger's. So, I'd say this made a good attempt but it failed. The real tests (which I've had to take multiple times for special ed teachers, psychiatrists, psychologists, etc.) are about 3 times as long, with five possible answers including a neutral one.

The fact that there's nothing neutral between "slightly disagree" and "slightly agree" is one sign this test is shit.

Isn't a common symptom of Asperger's the inability to distinguish peoples emotions based solely off facial expressions?

Yes. But that is not always the case. It is such a misconception that every aspie has a hard time distinguishing peoples emotions, and that we can't feel empathy. Many people are this way. I am not one of them.

Imagine Asperger's has symptoms A,B,C,D. Anyone with 2 or more symptoms could have it. So 2 different people could have completely different symptoms, like one has symptoms A&C, one has B&D. Yet they both have Asperger's Syndrome. (in reality it's much more complex than ABCD, but same basic concept)

Oh interesting. That was just something I had been told in the past, and wasn't sure if it was true. Thanks for the clarification. :thumbup:

Hmm interesting. Though the test isn't 100% accurate I believe it's a good first step at attempting to clarify whether or not you have the condition. It was after all, devised by a professional within the fields of autism.

Scored a 17, about what I expected. No Asperger's here.

but we have someone with aspergers telling you they scored a 17. they have been diagnosed and are scoring in the 'safe' you dont have asbergers range on this test.
to me that tells you the test is fucked.

"i would rather go to a theatre than a museum"


oh boy, i guess people with asperger's tend to favor one form of entertainment over another. what a bullshit question.

didn't they remove AS from the DSM?

Re: Please take the aspergers test! [Re: 404]

They did remove it from the DSM, but they only added it to general Autism. So it's just Autism now. Which is total bullshit in my opinion.

I'd say this test would be more suitable for younger people, elementary-high school age. With age people with AS often learn to supress some of the obvious symptoms. learn how to follow the crowd and fit in to society more easily. Honestly I was a little over critical of this test in my last post, I do believe people who score highly are more likely to have autism. It's just not thorough enough to diagnose very accurately. And should not be mistaken for a professional psycho-analytic test.

The biggest problem in the test is that it is in parts too vague, too specific, or too black and white without accounting for unique situations or any kind of middle ground.

I got a 29, but I'm reasonably sure that's due to some overlap with the symptoms of PTSD I manifest.
