Here’s another interesting online quiz, this one a little more detailed than most, which examines your tendency towards or away from Asperger’s syndrome. As always, a self-administered internet quiz is no substitute for examination by a competent professional, so think of this as a primitive tool applied to a complex problem instead of taking it too literally.
Also as always, if you’ve got an eye out for your privacy but still wish to record your answer, please be sure to password-protect the blog entry. Who needs the drama that exes could make of this?
BTW, I’m not afraid of my exes: I scored 12.

hmmmmm…
Scored a 39.
I’ve always had some autistic-like traits, rocking when stressed being the major one.

Confession: I become bored easily so I didn’t complete the quiz.

I think that tells you your score right there. Asperger Syndrome folks have no trouble concentrating on such things.
I’m with Bill Clinton, who said that we’re far too quick to ghettofy people who vary from the standard. The norm is no more and no less than average; in an age where Bill Gates is the second-richest man on the planet (and self-made at that) we have to acknowledge that a successful human being in our modern world may not be the same as the image that our grandparents had, and that we are all richer for it.
The problem comes, as always, when you try to force square pegs into round holes. There are plenty of other places that are a perfect fit.

Geez … maybe I should go back and take the quiz. I hate quizzes that consist of more than 25 questions. And I become unreasonably irritable when I’m being asked the same questions over and over again in different ways. In fact I that was what turned me off.

Oh god, I did so many of these psych tests when I was little I can endure anything. I start to try to anticipate which way they’ll rephrase the questions!

Interesting. I’ve become more Aspergy: now I’m 18, which is “average man.”
