Interesting:

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.

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)

20. Not a particularly meaningful test however, as it's not really all that scientific.

It could be complete bollocks actually.

'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.

Results of your
Attention Deficit Disorder Quiz
You scored a total of 103

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.

Shitting hell! 😯

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.

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.

"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. 😉

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 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?

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.

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.

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
