Autism and the God Connection
http://www.wrongplanet.net/modules.php? ... chizotypal
I would have scored higher on that test in the past when I was mostly agnostic. I think I score low on the "paranormal" things now and I'm atheist now. In my early 20's I was fairly religious having dreams where Jesus communicated with me. I guess one theory to explain the reduction of "paranormal" thinking would be the notion people tend to develop coping strategies for their maladaptive traits as they age(aspies relatively slowly).
I liked some of the questions in the SPQ-A test. Who did the questions? Can I borrow some of them and test them as experimental questions in Aspie-quiz? Some of the questions have obvious links to ASDs.
An interesting thing about the paranormal / religous questions in Aspie-quiz is that they group with sensory-issues. Perhaps one should expect this, I don't know?

I think its public domain. 0_equals_true and I merely made a javascript version that would score itself and I decided it needed and in between and unsure option.

OK, it looked "professional" in some respects. Some of the paranormal questions also seemed a little weird and judgemental.
I think I will use it in the same way I used the AQ-test. I'll let interested people do the full test, give them the score, and in the evaluation I can "steal" any question that is interesting for the ordinary part of Aspie-quiz
This will also be an opportunity to show (in a different way) that SPD is related to ASDs and Aspie-quiz score.

Anyway I tend to believe Temple Grandin who has a Ph.D in science and is a professor at Colorado State University. Rather than you a kid still in high school.
Then I will eagerly await your rebuttal, I am ready to raise a counter-point.
Because if I am as dim-witted as you claim this should be easy for you to bring down.

I'm not interested in continuing this argument, i've already made my point. You keep trying to hijack my thread and turn it into some kind of a contest.

This is not a "hollywood'' movie at all. It is a small independent film and is not the type of movie hollywood be interested in making. It's more like the antithesis of a big hollywood movie.

And now atheists are trying to portray ppl who believe in god as not only dumb but crazy too There is no research or statistics or studies to prove ppl who are religious are more likely to be insane or unintelligent or uneducated than athesists are.
I agree, and the atheist Aspies aren't the norm either.
I find this YouTube video very insulting (its implication: We are special messengers to all the real human beings out there). I am glad my brain isn't wired for religion.
By the way, YouTube videos that are all text should be replaced with plain-text webpages which can be read a lot faster and without the accompaniment of lame New Agey music.

Its a matter of point of view. If your religious then scoring high on the paranormal aspect of a schizotypal personality test suggest your a very spiritual person. If your an atheist it suggest you have
neurological features that may make people feel more spiritual. Its not a slam on religion. If there was science that could refute real spirituality or prove it we would not have any debates anyway.
In the scheme of things the questions on the schizotypal personality test are merely refinements on the broader question: "Do you experience spirituality?".
