Aspie Quiz

I was wondering if an expert could weigh in on the validity of the ‘Aspie Quiz’.

I found it online and took the quiz. It has me wondering ……….

I took an aspie quiz at http://psychcentral.com/quizzes/ and thought the results believable.

http://psychcentral.com/quizzes/ has a lot of neat quizes to let you know how messed up you are.

The world is full of messed up people and others just need to learn to deal with them. I may be messed up or not. If I am, it’s not a problem for me so others will just have to learn to deal with it . . . or go away.

(I guess the above post gives you an idea of how I scored on the aspie test.)

Just bear in mind that there are overlap in symptoms between different conditions. One may score highly on a quiz for ADHD and in fact have just Autism or vice versa. The more detailed the questions and specific, the less likely this is to occur. For example, if a question asks about the ability to stay focused on a topic this could be perseverating/hyperfocusing or autistic exclusive focus. It is also possible to have both conditions, which makes the matter even more complicated. Social avoidance might be due to personality and ADHD symptoms and not necessarily inability to read social queues and conversation norms.

Just remember that quizzes are not a replacement for proper testing, just a starting point for your own interest.

Interesting. Today, with no meds, I scored 47.

Always wonderred a little (though not to panic as I didn’t think so) but scoring an 18, I’m fairly confident I’m not autistic.

Thanks for the link

That link is to a very short quiz. I took it to see how I would do — same results as I got on the Aspie Quiz.

The Aspie Quiz is much longer but the questions are similar.

I don’t suppose it matters much — nothing to be done about it one way or the other.

I was just curious if any of the pros had an opinion.

I KNOW it is better to get an evaluation in person but it is expensive and most likely pointless..
