Any high scores here? Not that I'm suggesting the average STW member is likely to be autistic of course.
30 - is this good? I am a one for number strings (reg plates) and counting lamposts as I drive past them.
I also research individual things quite a bit especially detail.
My wife argues that we're all on the spectrum - especially men...
23 for me, less than I expected...
21
A lowly 10 for me...
I only got 8, do I have to hand in my STW namebadge and leave quietly?
14 for me.
39. Never been diagnosed but I'm usually somewhere on the spectrum with these sorts of things.
18 for me
36 - something about the analytical scientific mind...
11 for me
Maybe because of my darkside question earlier
10 here too, although I wouldn't say I'm a normal well adjusted person (I think my tendancy towards OCD type behaviour brings me down here)
24, like Simon, I was expecting higher 🙂
17. Two people I know with ADD reckon I also have it mildly though... 😉
20 for me.
Just 23, which is going to be a shock to everyone at home.
Talkemada - you seem a little defensive. I shall now call you rainman. Whose on second base?
31. Suprise
18. I think whoever wrote the test was autistic, it went on about twice as long as necessary.
40. Oh dear.
However my wife, a teacher, does say that I must be "on the spectrum" 😀
28 here, but I like to be quite organised.
28.
wow only 6 for me - i like parties!
20
Simon Baron-Cohen? A relation to Sascha?
His dad yes Professor @ Cambridge iirc and expert on this area
17 for me
Agree: 2,4,6,13,16,35,39: 1 point
Disagree: 1,15,24,25,30,40,50: 1 point
Score: 14
Oh 😐
26 but I work at Imperial College and Im pretty sure the average score here would be about 35.
12 for me
Just 23, which is going to be a shock to everyone at the home.
😆
28. Nice to know I'm in good company. 😉
'It's definitely very small in here'
An astoundingly average 16. I don't think this is offensive but some of you are practically retarded.
Not a particularly meaningful test however, as it's not really all that scientific.
"MRC-SBC/SJW February 1998. Published: Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 31, 5-17 (2001)."
27 btw.
26 for me.
16 for me
Take an ADD test aswell.

J.
a 30 for me - I suspect it might have been higher when I was younger
I don't think this is offensive but some of you are practically retarded.
say rather "lacking in empathy"...
13 for me
however I didn't understand some of the questions as I'm disleksik and guessed the answers 🙂
Jerome - Member16 for me
Take an ADD test aswell.

I've never read anything that summarises my head better than:
My brain feels as if it is a television set with all the channels going at once.
30+ on autism 59 on ADHD.
it figures...
That ADD one is so boring! I got to question 2 then came back on here.
Results of your
Attention Deficit Disorder Quiz
You scored a total of 103It is highly likely that you are presently suffering from adult attention deficit disorder, according to your responses on this self-report questionnaire. You should not take this as a diagnosis of any sort, or a recommendation for treatment. However, it would be advisable and likely beneficial for you to seek further diagnosis from a trained mental health professional immediately.
Shitting hell! 😯
It is sponsored by concerta though (pharmaceutical company that produce medication for adhd), so I wouldnt take it at face value. 103 - really?

And I answered them honestly... 😯
35 on the ADHD...mild, which i can believe....
30, but found some of the social situations questions a bit ambigous- at my age I've managed to train myself out of some of the more antisocial traits I had, so suspect the score could have been a bit higher twenty years ago.

😆
32, no surprise, my primary teacher packed me off to a psychologist, Senior school sent me to a councillor as did uni.
I'm a V good case builder for the Police now though.
Autism: 14
ADHD: 51
So, not autistic, but quite ADHD.
Some truth in that.
103 - really?
Yep. I'm not really surprised, as I've always been like that. ADHD weren't about when I was at school, but my teachers were very good, and managed me very effectively.
I'll mention it to my shrink when I go and see her tomorrow.
...and a link to a [url= http://www.spectrumx.co.uk/newlife/type/frame-type.htm ]Personality TYPE Test[/url] to round it off.
"Personality Test"
that one worries me so I'm not following the link - does it just give a yes/no answer?
I scored 40. 8)
I read about Asperger's a long time ago, before it was trendy, and recognised I had a few of the "symptoms". I think not considering it a problem was one of the symptoms. 😉
[center]
[/center]Extrovert Intuitive Feeler Perceiving
ENFP
Well that's ok then.
15 for me.
My son is "on the spectrum" and I recognised a lot of the traits in the questionnaire. If you know what they are driving at it really is quite a good little test.
Introvert Sensing Thinking Perceiving
ISTP
and the write up feels worryingly accurate too, especially the stress bit which seems very relevant at the moment.
I come out as ESTP and most of the description seems to fit...
ISTJ - I'm going to the top according to the write up.
Talk you're about as opposite as is possible, what did yours say?
Introvert Intuitive Feeler Judicious
INFJ
Extrovert Intuitive Thinking Perceiving
ENTP
I would say it's pretty accurate, good and bad points.
4 - so i'm some kind of retard, just not sure what category...
11 on Autism.
Haven't done the others, but usually ENTP on personality tests.
32. No surprises frankly - my Dad's a scientist and an introvert and I've inherited more than a few traits. And I am obsessed with bikes 🙂
12 on Autism test.
ENFJ for personality test. About right on both.
29 here...
EDIT: & 51 on ADD
11 - I saw a strong pattern in the questions though
autism 38. i've known for some time. do i win a prize 8)
INFP and proud.
20 on autism. Less than I expected.
I just spent £450 changing my forks because my old ones weren't quite as plush on initial movement as I knew they should have been. Caused no practical problem, but it drove me nuts.
How's that?
Agree: 2,4,5,6,19,23: 1 point
Disagree: 1,14,28,30,32,49: 1 point
Score: 12 - I'm quite surprised it's as low as it is...
ADD - 16 - again lower than I thought
Personality Test
Introvert Sensing Thinking Judicious
ISTJ

Not sure what all of that says about me???
18 for Autism and 47 for ADD.
Does anyone else get annoyed that the questions aren't right? Like, I want to say "yes but.. and no but..." to them all? (aka Pollard Syndrome)?
I felt my answers swung quite widely from one side to the other.
TB... that says you are almost me, you poor thing.
Scored 8 on Autism,
10 on ADHD,
personality type is
Extrovert Intuitive, Feeler, Judicious, ENFJ apparently less than 5% of population share my outlook on life..."Of all the Personality Types, the ENFJ is one of the most warm, sociable, friendly and outgoing."
So that's alright then...
Apparently not autistic or ADHD but INTP:
99% of those you meet perceive the world around them differently from the way you do
which explains a lot.
@ The Southern Yeti - nice to know I'm in good company
Is that ADHD thing genuine?? Because I got this:
It is highly likely that you are presently suffering from adult attention deficit disorder, according to your responses on this self-report questionnaire. You should not take this as a diagnosis of any sort, or a recommendation for treatment. However, it would be advisable and likely beneficial for you to seek further diagnosis from a trained mental health professional immediately.
And now I'm slightly concerned....
I do not think the adhd one is very accurate tbh. The autism one is ok but still needs to be taking with a pinch of salt imho
