Oh look, a quiz! Everyone try it and take the results seriously.

"Your Aspie score: 121 of 200
Your neurotypical (non-autistic) score: 79 of 200
You are very likely an Aspie"

Test is here: http://www.rdos.net/eng/Aspie-quiz.php

Incidentally, the term 'aspie' provokes in me hostility. It sounds to me like a word for a pet and I expect people can see why such an association from the mouths of strangers would repulse me. I try not to bristle when people use this term to describe themselves

I also happen to think this quiz was composed by a neurotypical person. Many of the questions were worded in such a way as to be unclear in ways I think a person who had that experience would not, In other cases, even though I thought I understood the intent of the question, it was worded such that I found it difficult to answer.

Oh, and they misspelled 'sex' repeatedly in the preliminary questions.

I have no intention of participating in the study this is related to.

And I just realised it is probably relevant that I am disinterestedly ignoring the social gathering visible three metres in front of me through a glass door.

I got as far as the question which asked for "biological gender" and then hit the close tab button. Damnit, I didn't spend time and money getting the op to be asked questions like that *mutter*

Yep. Was about that point I decided this quiz was going to be stupid in obtuse ways. Not disappointed.

OK, I did it again and persevered, and suggested that question seemed calculated to annoy trans-people in the feedback comment (I put "female", naturally). Anyway, this is what I got:

I think they have an unhealthy fascination with the word biological generally. I gave this a shot and got as far as "Did you grow up in your biological family?" and found the answers odd -- no, and this was the will of my parents/no, and this was against the will of my parents -- and then the next question, about my biological parents' income, impossible and irrelevant. That's when I closed the tab. :)
