So, I decided to take a 50 question Asperger's spectrum quotient test to see how I fared and I scored a 22, which is slightly above the male average of 17. Anyway, I want people to try the test out and share their scores this is out of fun and not to be taken seriously. BTW, both test options are the same, its just the first option does not require you to scroll down the list of questions, the result page will show where your score lies in regards to your likelihood of having this disorder.

I scored 9. It was an interesting test. Thanks for posting it.

It would be interesting if gay men score lower on average than straight men, I could kind of see how that could be a possibility, especially since females score an average of 2 points less than men.

sangheili90 I would have to say no to the gay theory since in my own experience, and that of mental health professionals shows that a vast majority of people with AS are asexual.

I was referring to the general population and the ASQ score associated with it, it specifically stated that females averaged 15 while men averaged 17.
 
17
I imagine when things get better it'll go down. It was interesting because I had to look at now and then. I think then I would of scored lower, and now is different. Probably all the isolation lol. Realistically I don't see scoring below probably 5. I say that because some of the questions wouldn't be open to change like the memory crap lol. It's nice to know as of now I'm dead average despite maybe not being as social as I was before in the past.

I think this is fairly normal my man, if you are familiar with the MBTI personality types it has been known for these to vary a bit depending on the current mood and general life of the person taking the test. One of the questions on the test I posted on this thread asked if I got upset if I couldn't pursue my interests, which I do because I cant stand it when I cant workout lol.I honestly think the very key questions that were in this quiz revolved around the ability to imagine, enjoy works of fiction and whether or not you are fascinated by odd things, patterns etc.

I don't see Aspergers as a disorder, it is part of the normal male spectrum in my view. The men who have built the world we live in exhibited many similar characteristics. Much of this is not valued by many today by those for whom social success is the only success. But I'm grateful for the technology, science and culture we have, and the men who had the ability to understand and make things work.

I'd go so far as to see the tribal celebration of the penis as a response to the current social diminishing of men's status and male attributes.
 
I had a look at this test, and it's basically meaningless. Also it does not rule out other conditions, personality disorders or just individual quirks. In general there is not much awareness about Asperger's and what it actually is, or what it would look like if you saw it. Whether an individual wishes to consider it a disability or not probably depends on how severe it is, and what kind of impact it has on their daily life. If you suspect that you might have Asperger's it could be worthwhile doing a bit of research with the DSM 5, and sites about autistic spectrum disorders. Another thing I would like to add, is that even though males are more likely to be diagnosed with autistic spectrum disorders, and the majority of medical genetic disorders too, you should not feel that it's a special boy's club for special boys! The main well known famous person with Asperger's is probably Temple Grandin. Not male. There are also various other reasons why it is possible that females could just be less likely to be actually diagnosed with the condition.

Here are a couple of my favourite depictions of Asperger's and AS: Films, 'Tony - London Serial Killer', 'Bronson', 'American Splendor', and tv series: Elementary (though it's a bit of a boring one, and genius is not necessarily an Aspie trait). Yes, before you say it, most of these examples are male, but that's the kind of world we live in.

You are looking way too into this, its just a simple test and if you scored high its possible you have aspergers and should seek out a professional. This was really just for fun, but I definitely agree with you that some of the questions could apply to things not even remotely associated with aspergers.
