Well, My Problems are Legion but I Don't Have Asperger's Syndrome

Thanks to a SciBling, I took this quiz and found out that I do not have Asperger's Syndrome (even though I've had my suspicions), so I guess that's one good thing to know. Whew, what a relief! I was so worried!

If you are interested, my score was 29, whereas scores over 32 are indicative of Asperger's Syndrome. The average woman, and average male or female biologist had scores of 15. So I guess I am er, normal, sorta, although we all know that I am not normal at all!

How did you score? What did you think of the questions they asked?

I scored 18, "average man." I thought I saw the poential for a lie score in the questions but no statement of same in the results. Perfect consistency might be another Aspberger's criterion.

29, which seems to mean something like "very nerdy, but not aspergic".

I'm a computer technician, a musician with synthesisers, interested in human artificial languages, and am about to start a second masters degree - which fits.

I've met dozens of people who claimed to be autistic or to habe aspergers - they were all just a bit socially awkward. Though not so awkward they couldn't tell me they were "special".

It's difficult for me to tell you this...but I got 39. Oh well. I never wanted to be normal anyway. No wonder I'm unemployable.

39. No surprises there then...

I just muddle along.

25, but I suspect my awkwardness with conversation might be more of a sign of hearing problems...

I scored an 11. I wonder if English professors as a group would tend to score low. Our stock in trade is analyzing characters' motives, not the sort of thing one would engage in if one had Asperger's.

I got a 15 - average biologist. I wish I was a biologist. I suspected a former girlfriend's brother of having Asperger's and I can definitely see the trends that this quiz is getting at in his personality. He could tell me the release dates of every album from every artist he liked and he could tell me directions to almost anywhere in the country. His conversation and social skills were aligned with some of the things they were fishing for in this quiz too.

I found some questions difficult to answer, needed a "meh" category in the middle. Does a 12 make me abnormally normal? rb

28, I thought that I would score lower. Oh well, back to my cave.

24. How did they know about the math contest?
