Online psychometric testing

This is a place to link to various tests.    For starters, how autistic are you?

The UK average is about 17, so you're quite a bit more or less autistic than the average.  Not sure which, however :-))

Ian, 
I did the test and scored 18,  which I was relatively pleased with ...but then Mrs Fester scored only SIX.
Firstly, is that possible?   And what might it mean?

The higher the score, the more likely your personality to embody aspects of Asperger's syndrome, or to be mildly autistic.  However this is a very rough and ready pop test, we don't really understand much about autism (to put it mildly) and a lot depends on your mood at the time of taking it.

Andy ..I see where youre going here ...
Perhaps a mild degree of Aspergers allows you to get more detail into your model railway creations?
Just a thought??      ?{}?

Not sure if I should publish this but my score was 39.
It certainly explains a few things for me both present and past.

I managed 27 but don't know whether I should be pleased or disappointed!

I am pleased to hear that the complaint against you Jason is not to be taken further. Keep up the good work.

Quite possible, I like making, repairing, painting things, I've spent around a month restoring the old garden shed and making it look like a beach hut!  On the other hand I hate team games like football etc :rage:
