Set of scientific tests related to Autism Spectrum Disorders

Post Reply New Topic

Only did a few of them:

AQ- 32

Aspie quiz - 123 of 200

Facial expression - 32

Facial blindness - 96% way above average

I think the expression and blindness have been learned though. I've been drawing since I was a kid - I don't so much remember faces as I remember a collection of distinctive features when combined form a face. The more ordinary and unremarkable a face the less I recognize it. I couldn't put a name or a place to a face if my life depended on it. Does this sort of training get 'figured in' at all when you are looking for a dx?

LMAO I guess I don't know myself too well, I saw myself as somewhat of an empath, and now I find out I'm a "extreme systemizer" HAHA.

I got a 97%. Wow. 70 out of 72 faces on Face Blindness test. Wonder how much that has to do with the fact I have worked security for about 7 years. I might put a link to that one on the work pc here, and see how my coworkers do. LOL

Draelynn, I saw your post and kinda felt the same way. I did really good, but was it learned? Through work? Big question. Also , I'm the same way... I see people all the time that I know their faces... I see them... but don't know them. I get so embarrassed sometimes because some of these people I've seen around for years and know their faces so well, but I can't remember their name to save my life. Somehow at work I seem to do okay most of the time. But I get mixed up. I'll think someone else's name with someone elses face, and put it to a similar face. I did that yesterday with someone. The name and other face were in my head, but wrong guy LOL

wow... great post
i don't need a test to know
but many do i guess

I had my husband take these tests. I dont know what the EQ/SQ and Emotional IQ results mean. I dont understand. Its over my head! Can someone give me some insight on what these mean!

AQ was 37

Autistic/BAP
You scored 100 aloof, 105 rigid and 96 pragmatic
You scored above the cutoff on all three scales. Clearly, you are either autistic or on the broader autistic phenotype. You probably are not very social, and when you do interact with others, you come off as strange or rude without meaning to. You probably also like things to be familiar and predictable and don't like changes, especially unexpected ones.

Respondent Average EQ Average SQ Brain Type
Males 39.0 61.2 Systemizing
Females 48.0 51.7 Empathizing
Your Score 15 57 Extreme Systemizing


Emotional IQ
Subscale IQ score = 61
Subscale percentile = 1
According to your self-report answers, your emotional intelligence is very poor. People who score like you do feel that they have trouble dealing with their own emotions and those of others. They struggle to overcome difficulties in their lives and they are unable to control their moods. It's hard for them to understand how best to motivate themselves and reach their goals. In addition, they find social interactions quite difficult, for several reasons. They may have trouble allowing themselves to get close with others, finding it difficult to be vulnerable enough to establish intimacy. They also report having trouble offering support to others, likely due to the fact that they do not understand where others are coming from or they lack ideas about how best to help. Perhaps by working on your problem areas, you can become more confident in dealing with your own emotions and those of others

I had my husband take the aspie quiz this morning since it got to late last night

Thank you for filling out this questionnaire.

Your Aspie score: 136 of 200
Your neurotypical (non-autistic) score: 57 of 200
You are very likely an Aspie

...Wait... I had done the EIQ test upside down, that is why it was so unexpectedy high. Doing it corretcly I score 67... LOL!

You scored 120% on aloof, higher than 79% of your peers.

You scored 123% on rigid, higher than 92% of your peers.

You scored 107% on pragmatic, higher than 80% of your peers.

You scored 6% on diagnosis, higher than 63% of your peers.

Autistic/BAP

AQ Test 34

EQ 32
SQ 40


EIQ
Self-report Component
Subscale IQ score = 55
Subscale percentile = 0.13

HSP
You have indicated that 23 of the items are true of you.

Scoring:
If you answered more than fourteen of the questions as true of yourself, you

are probably highly sensitive. But no psychological test is so accurate that

an individual should base his or her life on it. We psychologists try to

develop good questions, then decide on the cut off based on the average

response.

If fewer questions are true of you, but extremely true, that might also

justify calling you highly sensitive

Facial Expression
Your score: 27
A typical score is in the range 22-30. If you scored over 30,
you are very accurate at decoding a person's facial expressions
around their eyes. A score under 22 indicates you find this quite difficult



Face blindness
Out of 72 faces, you correctly identified 56.
In other words, you got 78% correct.

On our previous version of this test, the average person with normal face recognition was able to recognize about 80% of the faces. If you correctly identified less than 65% of the faces, this may indicate face recognition difficulties.


Your Aspie score: 164 of 200
Your neurotypical (non-autistic) score: 38 of 200
You are very likely an Aspie

Hi

I'm guessing you didn't do a lot of maths at school.

OK. The basics. When these tests are developed a set of standard questions are put together. This is quite a complex process and I won't go into it here, but the questions are worked out to give an overall picture of how people respond in certain situations. You can do this for all kinds of things, from measuring intelligence to measuring height. It is administered to a large number of people and the results collected.

With this you can do several things. You can add up all the scores and divide that number with the number of people who took the test. We call this an average or a mean.

You can plot all the scores on a graph to show the frequency of how many people scored which score. This usually produces a line that looks like a bell, so we call it a bell curve. This is often used for grading exams. Most people score in the middle with a C being slightly above average, and a D being slightly below. A few people will get an F, and an equally few people will get an A.

For some things, like intelligence and empathy it is possible to grade all the scores so the maximum possible score is 200, and the minimum possible score is zero. The average score is 100, and almost everone able to take the test will fall between about 50 and about 150. It is possible to ensure that the scores don't cluster around the average, which gives a really high peak in the middle. Good IQ and EQ tests do this. We do this by using a test for variation, called a standard deviation, which shows how many people scored a long way from the average.

Scientifically, "abnormal" is often defined as being two standard deviation from the average. (To those mathematicians here: I know I'm generalising!)

People with Asperger syndrome typically have high intelligence. Some people suspect that since anyone with low intelligence is removed from the sample this gives a mean that is higher than average when their IQs are tested. This bell curve is "skewed".

Now we come to your husband's scores.
His EQ score (61) is well below the average of 100. He scored in the lowest 1% of the population for what they call emotional intelligence (I did as well), which basically means he can't intepret other people's emotional signals. For mathematical reasons I won't go into this is well below 2 standard deviations from average. When people score this low, they are probably autistic.

Note that he may score better if the tests are administered when he is awake, and not just before bed.

EQ and SQ scores calculate your ability to respond emotionally (EQ) and to act systematically and reduce things to a system (SQ).
Men tend to be more systematic and less emotional than women, so there are two sets of averages: one for men and one for women.
Your husband scored normally for his ability to act systematically, very slightly below the average. A D+, if you like, although this isn't about getting answers right or wrong as it is in an exam.
He scored the way most Aspies do for his emotional response - well below average, more like an F-.

Again, readministering the tests during daylight might give different scores.

It's also very important to remember that when these tests are administered professionally they make sure the answers given are valid, usually by interview. These results are no more than guidelines.

I hope this helps and doesn't just confuse you further.

While I did not excell at math, I do understand basic math such as what you described! I didnt understand what the EQ-SQ test results meant. I didnt take the test so I didnt understand how they came up with the results or how many questions or how it worked. Your explanation did help me! Thank you!

I apologise.

I know many people whose minds just sort of switch off when faced with anything that looks like maths. When I did stats at uni as part of another course I passed through sheer hard grind, not any sort of intuitive understanding of the subject. I didn't know which bit confused you. It seemed likely that a lack of mathematical knowledge (very common!) was leading you to not be able to understand the scores.

Again, apologies.

I got 34 on the Aspie spectrum and answered true to 24 questions on the highly sensitive person test.

I got 34 on the Aspie spectrum and answered true to 24 questions on the highly sensitive person test.

I went through and took all the tests (even the ones I've taken before) because I am on a crusade to prove my councilor doesn't know what she is talking about in diagnosing me with HFA. Sadly, all I did is prove to myself that she, more than likely, is absolutely right.

1) The Broad Autism Phenotype Questionnaire: Autistic/BAP
You scored 106 aloof, 103 rigid and 95 pragmatic

2) The Autism Spectrum Quotient: 25

3) The Empathizing Quotient and Systematizing Quotient: average for a male on both (I'm a girl)

4) Emotional Intelligence Quotient: scored really low, which is a bummer because I thought I was much, much higher.

5) The Highly Sensitive Person: marked all but two, making me very highly sensitive. That one I knew

6) 'Reading the mind in the eyes' test: 32, above average (yippee! This is good for balance because I am totally face blind and emotionally stupid )

7) Face blindness / Prosopagnosia test: 59% (average is 80%)

The "The Aspie Quiz" is the one that really sent it home. The results said I was "very likely an Aspie" but, reading through it all was the thing. I guess my councilor is right, I'm HFA. Strange to find out at 39 years old! I thought I had a mental illness all these years and the teachers growing up thought I was lazy and oppositional. Go figure ...

I took the Aspie quiz several days ago, before I found wrongplanet. I scored 160-something in the Aspie range while just 33 on the NT side. That eye test was really difficult, got a bit of a headache from it actually. Frustrating. I did fairly good with guessing, got a 24, but there again there was only like 4 or 5 of the images which I had a definitive answer, the rest was guessing. With all this being extremely new to me, I'm processing tons of information all at once learning all I can about this condition which I more than likely have (all the traits/characteristics are descriptive of myself). I am also one of those who look much younger than my actual age (and the fact that I act younger throws others off too).

O.k done what was still available and here it is

I am guessing this has alot to do with why people have always told me i go about things the wrong way.
It is relieving after 30 years to at least understand why i always felt broken.

May you all be blessed with the gift of Green lights and useful free samples.
