I got a 30 on the Asperger test. These tests (including the original personality one) probably have zero false negatives, but are ripe with false positives. |

I got 24 on the Asperger test. Guess that means I'm a geek. The face of a child can say it all, especially the mouth part of the face. |

Well, tests are only accurate if you can relate to the questions. On some of the questions neither answer seemed right, but on most of them it was a definite yes or a definite no. That has a big effect on whether or not the result will fit or not. The list of careers it gave were just careers which would be a good match with your personality and skills, not careers that you'd actually want to do. I suppose you could think that usually if someone's good at something they'd enjoy doing it, but that's not always the case.

I too got 30 on the Asperger test. Jonny Cook said:

Sorry for editing. No worries. I didn't mind, I mostly found it amusing. The careers it gave me were (if I can recall correctly) philosophy, writing, humanities, web development (I was surprised by this one... since it's not something I would have associated my personality with but I still like to do it), and archeology. Now, I can't imagine myself doing any of those (except for web development) as an actual career, but they're all things that when I do end up doing, it comes pretty easily (I don't know about archeology).

I got a 20. I think they mixed up our results.

You should all be on medication like me. 7.5 mg olanzapine before bed, 20mg citalopram in the morning. The olanzapine is an anti-psychotic which supposedly stops me from going postal but I put it down to the mere fact that I'm not armed. The other is meant to stop me getting depressed but really just makes me feel like a zombie with slightly above average mood.

Tomasu said: Its not the actual behaviour that's seen as a sign, but the degree of seriousness.. Being a little shy or a little outspoken is fine, being a lot of ANYTHING can be a bad thing. Well, but not socializing with people is a good thing, because it gives you time to get stuff done/to practice your skills. Matthew said: I agree that in general that "disorder" is too harsh of a word. But all of them can negatively impact your life, so they cannot be completely ignored. And one should never use some label as an excuse for any negative actions. If your disorder is "causing" you to do bad things, then you should check yourself in somewhere. I guess you're right. I scored 32 on that Asperger Test. --- 0xDB | @dennisbusch_de --- |

23 on the Asperger's test. Although I am not sure what the difference between slightly agree and slightly disagree would be. The borderline definition is close to me, except I was never molested as a child. Near miss, a pedophilic priest came to my house looking for my younger brothers once.

Am I the only one who's noticed that the schizoid levels are fairly high among us? EDIT: Well, mostly above average now that I think about it. Cat! I'm a kitty cat. And I dance dance dance, and I dance dance dance. |

Piccolo says something with which I partially agree, let alone understand? Programming tends to be a solitary task, especially if you're self taught. A lot of us probably spent our younger / teenage years behind computers as opposed to socializing with our peers. While that doesn't answer the question of whether or not we were "predisposed" to a schizoid-like personality, I think the relationship is there. |

How would that work? Make people think that they aren't paranoid, so they take their thoughts about conspiracy seriously? Some incompetent conspiracy. -- |

I'd also expect a lot of false positives for an Asperger's test on a programming forum. It's also known as "Geek Syndrome" after all. I scored a 42, which is less than usual.

I got a 29 on the Asperger test, not sure what does that mean, but it seems average. ____ "The unlimited potential has been replaced by the concrete reality of what I programmed today." - Jordan Mechner. |
