The AQ test.

http://www.wired.com/wired/archive/9.12/aqtest.html" class="bbc_link" target="_blank">Here is the link to the Autism Quotient test that my brother has found a few years ago. Post your score here, and also if possible, mention how many questions you don't understand. This is because the AQ score would only calculate one way, and not the other.

My score was 26/50, giving me 52% autism, although I have a feeling that most lads score about 35% and ladies 30%.

I'm not sure it makes sense to calculate an "autism percentage" from a quiz like that. Anyway, I ran through it quickly and scored 38. I found most of those questions very easy to answer http://www.lemmingsforums.com/Smileys/lemmings/tongue.gif" alt=":P" title="Tongue" class="smiley" />

76%

a winner is me

[Adam]

I got 46/50 giving me 92%!

[Proxima]

12/50, or in Lemmings terms I saved 24%.

[Pooty]

I scored 35/50, which is 70%.

8 out of 50 gives me, what, 16%? I'm such a loser. I'm gonna go concentrate intensely on something now! *Rimshot*

Though for what it's worth, asking questions like "I find myself drawn more strongly to people than to things," to those whose brains aren't geared one way or the other, are purely matters of opinion. It's like asking, "Do you like cheddar cheese?" "No, not really." "You're 30% lactose intolerant!"

I think 16% would be a pretty good score, because it shows that you don't have an autistic personality.  I, on the other hand, scored 76%, which is not surprising because I once had tests done by a professional proving that I do indeed have a form of autism.

The results of the test:  My mind is brilliant, but my social skills are not.  http://www.lemmingsforums.com/Smileys/lemmings/winktounge.gif" alt=";P" title="Wink-Tongue" class="smiley" />

Remarkably, 24/50. 48%.

Personally, I'd say the decider is "did you work out the quotient and percentage yourself?" =P

I got 36 points, but you know, I already did a better test than that, testing IQs, memory and meticulousness. The most interesting thing is that, I have both Autism and Asperger Syndrom. Yeah, that's true! I even have a higher IQ than a normal person and I also have exceptional faculties. I know that, because I met a doctor specialized into PDDs (Pervasive Developmental Disorders). I have a very high meticulousness and I have exceptional non-verbal capabilities, but with a huge lack of social things and general knowledge.

Are you sure? Because I'll say this again: Autism is the one affected by speech, and Asperger's syndrome is not.

Tell us. What is your IQ? Mine is 124, and I think the average is 100.

[GuyPerfect]

IQ is defined as 100 being average, and indeed results from IQ tests are constantly being weighed in one direction or the other depending on what the average happens to be at the time. General intelligence tends to be going up, which means any given person's IQ score is likely to go down over time given an identical test with identical responses... this does not mean the person has become less intelligent.

That said, my IQ has never been officially tested, but those unreliable online tests give me scores somewhere in the neighborhood of 140 to 160.

What do you mean by "affected by speech" here? In any case, Asperger's syndrome is a type of autism, rather than something exclusive with it.

[Chmera]

I did an IQ test when I was seven years old. Got 132, apparently.

[Minim]

Whoa! That is big!
