Sure, all music geeks are fucked in the head. But how fucked up are you?

Take the test.

Scored 10. Less 'aut' than the core group average. Wow, all hail me < / sarc>

21 here too.

I am glad this is some kind of proper scientific test and not a take-the-piss one. That said is Simon Baron-Cohen any relation to the guy who plays Ali G?

This is just like all those times I diagnosed myself as having Asperger's.

― cis (cis), Monday, 23 February 2004 15:34 (twenty-two years ago)

How many times did you diagnose yourself? Is that compulsive behaviour?

Is there a pathology associated with scoring too lowly on this test?

I am pretty convinced that I have Asperger's Syndrome but then I have wrongly convinced myself that i've had mental diseases before.

I'm not good at visualizing and I'm not good at remembering numbers (nor particularly excited by them). Maybe I am just autistic and stupid.

i believe, being good at remembering numbers = more aut.

Which is weird, 'cuz I was "diagnosed" with autism by my 2nd grade teacher. Was a total basket case back then. Wouldn't talk to other kids, just sat in my chair rocking back 'n' forth, enjoyed only plastic car model kits.

Guess I got over it, eventually, with the aid of drugs and alcohol. Lots and lots of alcohol. If only we'd had Jim Beam in the 2nd grade...

Seems like the illicit lure of "partying" defeats introvert aversion to "parties."

― Dr. Alicia D. Titsovich (sexyDancer), Thursday, 4 January 2007 21:40 (nineteen years ago)

I scored 36, which is what I got the last time I took this test.

― Elvis Telecom (Chris Barrus), Thursday, 4 January 2007 21:42 (nineteen years ago)

Really, what this test measures is introversion, methinks.

I'm getting better - I got 30 this time round. Some of the questions are a bit suspect or open to interpretation (do you like being in social situations? - well that depends, I hate making social chitchat with people I don't know or don't like, I like spending time with a few close friends and talking rubbish over a beer. Is that a yes or a no?)

Simon Baron-Cohen is Ali G's uncle and I've hear he really does not appreciate being reminded of the fact.

I think it's second-cousin actually.

14, but I agree with Ailsa. Do I enjoy social occasions? Define social occasions. Parties, weddings, etc., I hate. Bit of a night out in the pub with my mates? Great.

fuck Simon Baron-Cohen.. just saying. And even my partner who used to read his books and quote from them knows he's a crank and a waste of space know.

That AQ test is some bad old clickbait imo, what like anyone who is slightly obsessive or socially awkward or introverted, routine driven - which is a lot of neurotypical ppl - oh I always knew there was something different about me!
