This eye-reading test just called me an aspie or 'highly functional autistic'

[DS1]

So, how will you do?

1. Ha! That was written by Borat's cousin!

Small world, no? :D

[DS1]

2. You shall be shutting up, or I will sell you to my horse

[bicentennial_baby]

6. I got 32 out of 36...What does that mean?

Me not so smrt.

[DS1]

9. It means I'm going to get a really good deal on you

:P

:pals:

[bicentennial_baby]

11. Pfft, I prefer the whore that is your sister...

I hear she makes good sex in mouth. :D

[DS1]

12. She's your half-sister, you know

We just won the majority in the goat raffle

[KamaAina]

3. I'm assuming I'll pass

with flying colors. :-)

The only loose end needing to be tied up is whether to bestow upon me the label "Asperger's" or "high-functioning autism". Some of the best minds in the field have tried to answer this, and failed. You see, the way clinicians tell the difference is by looking at IQ subtest scores. If your verbal IQ is higher than the performance IQ (the block shapes, etc.), it's Asperger's, while if the reverse is true, it's autism.

Then they ran across me. Both of my subtest scores were off scale. Yes, at the high end, smarty-pants. :P

Welcome to the club! :hi: Did you know we have our own exclusive virtual acreage right here at DU?

Oh yes, I once had lunch with Borat's cousin Simon Baron-Cohen, who was visiting Yale where I was working with the team that got Asperger's added to the U.S. clinical lexicon.

10. what do the block shapes tests normally look like?

[KamaAina]

13. Oh, you know, where some of the blocks are white, some red, some half-and-half

and you have to arrange them to match a design on the test sheet.

[DS1]

14. hmmm

I am always surprised when I get one or two of those wrong, and never agree with the 'right' answer, it's just not logical

:shrug:

[greymattermom]

4. aspie too

23 out of 36, better than I thought. Most just look like bad pics of eyes.

[MrCoffee]

5. that test was bogus

i got a 14 out of 36. what does that make me?

[WritingIsMyReligion]

7. I got a 30 out of 36--above average and definitely not Aspie.

Interesting, since I usually don't consider myself particularly empathetic or well-connected to humans in general. But damn, do I know facial expressions/eyes.

[ZombieNixon]

8. 31/36

Pretty good, apparently.

[Connonym]

15. I got 19

I'm not sure what that means though. I thought the quality of the photos was terrible. ETA that I think you need an entire face to catch someone's mood.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

16. I scored 28; but

I can't help thinking that few people can read others' emotions by simply looking at their eyes in one given moment. Body language and vocal tone and inflection play important roles as well.

[supernova]

27. Same here,

I'm more apt to look at the entire face and consider tone of voice and other body language, not just the eyes. With those things, I am quite good at "reading" people.

Still, this "test" gave me a 23/36. No test I've ever taken has mentioned Aspie to me.

[Critters2]

17. 25 out of 36

For a lot of the pics, none of the choices seemed right, so I guessed. I have two aspies in my close family, and sometimes think I have tendencies in that direction myself. So, I did better than I expected.

[Oeditpus Rex]

18. If the eyes were the only animated people parts

we'd probably all be somewhat Aspergeric. :shrug:

[lizziegrace]

22. I agree

I'm pretty good at reading people but need to see their entire face and observe mannerisms.

:shrug:

[redqueen]

19. 30/36

and several people have told me they think i might be aspie/high funcitoning autistic, so yay for online diagnoses. :)

[Greyskye]

20. 29 correct

I seem to have done the worst on interpreting looks of 'desire' and 'interest'.

Well. That explains a lot!

[wildhorses]

21. 27/36

i have to quit multi-tasking :rofl:

[TrogL]

23. 23 - I'm an aspie

Most of them, I simply had no idea and was guessing wildly. Any woman looking sideways I called flirtatious if that choice was available. Anyone with raised eyebrows I called anxious.

[idgiehkt]

26. I got 24

I really did not enjoy that at all, lol. On alot of them I just picked the least dramatic adjective...which seemed to have helped me.

[Skittles]

54. it seems like you are misreading the emotion behind the eyes

a woman looking sideways can be any emotion but since it is often stereotyped as flirting (in magazines, movies) you picked, well, the most obvious. Interesting. I am wondering, since you cannot spot-read a face on sight - if you give yourself more time to observe a person does that help any?

[swag]

24. 31/36

[graywarrior]

25. 29

[EstimatedProphet]

28. 29

[last_texas_dem]

29. 26 out of 36

Which isn't particularly great, but (if I understand the score report correctly) is about average. I'm apparently much worse at reading men's eyes than women's, though, which is kind of interesting.

[otherlander]

30. Yeah...

It's very fashionable to diagnose people with that at the moment.

[Sanity Claws]

31. I got 33 out 36

I guess I'm better than average at reading people.

[Rabrrrrrr]

32. I scored a 27 - more than I expected, less than I hoped.

[CrownPrinceBandar]

33. 27........

I guess I'm an aspie in their "eyes" (OK, that was bad)

[huskerlaw]

34. 29/36

Sounds about right.

[libodem]

35. 34 out of 36

reading people is usually one of my strong suits.

[SPKrazy]

36. Apparently in the "normal" range

:rofl:

[sakabatou]

37. Whatever

:eyes:

Got 23 but I'm no aspie.

[LaurenG]

38. Did you notice that two of the pictures were of gw bush (10 and 13)?

That messed me up big time. I got 29 of the 36.

[alphafemale]

59. I also spotted Son of Sam and Ted Bundy. Those rattled me a bit.

I got 29 out of 36.

[FuzzySlippers]

39. 27

Eight out of the nine I got wrong were men. I don't know what the hell you guys are thinking.

[last_texas_dem]

58. A similar thing happened to me

Nine out of the ten that I missed were men. I am male, though, so I'm not sure if that's stranger or not as strange!

[SOteric]

40. 34 of 36. Guess I'm not an aspie.

Makes me wonder which two I missed, though.

[Left Is Write]

43. If you keep clicking "next", it will take you through the quiz question by question...

pointing out how you answered and what the correct answer is.

[DS1]

45. *laff*

For all the women eye photos, when they were bored or disappointed I picked flirtatious, when they were flirtatious or interested I picked bored or reflective.

DOH!

[Left Is Write]

49. And there were two "fantasizing."

[NMDemDist2]

41. me too

and I'm darned good with people usually. but obviously take cues from more body language than eyes

[Left Is Write]

42. 30.

[BarenakedLady]

44. 32/36 (n/t)

[Reverend_Smitty]

46. I got a 26 out of 36, however...

I quickly lost interest in the test after the 10th picture or so...I think it says less about whether or not I'm autistic and more about possible ADD...lol

[Starbucks Anarchist]

47. 28.

[cynatnite]

48. I was called that, too...

with many of the pictures no words were offered that even came close to the moods I thought I was seeing. I just guessed. Weird test. I got a 22.

[AZBlue]

50. On quite a few I needed a fifth possible answer:

none of the above

[Skittles]

51. 35 out of 36

and I know the one I got "wrong" was the one that had no correct answers and I had to just pick one - I know how to read a face

[Elidor]

52. 24

Suck it, fucktard.

:evilgrin:

(we both know it's a bullshit test, anyway, but it was amusing)

[Cabcere]

53. 24 for me.

:shrug: Not great, but I guess not quite in the horrible range, either. :shrug:

[Tikki]

55. Well, an 18...I would have thought I would...

have scored higher....You just never know.


Tikki

[crim son]

56. 32 out of 36.

:)

[alittlelark]

57. Female eyes were all young and pretty, males varied....

seems like a BS test, but I got a 30.

[Zookeeper]

60. 30 out of 36....

So, I guess I'm far from being an "aspie," however, my ADD kicked in and I found the test incredibly tedious half way through. :P

[Fire Walk With Me]

61. 31 out of 36. And four of my five mistakes were with female eyes.

Including "desire".

But this is not the reason that I'm single ;-)

Fun quiz, thanks for that. My mistakes were mostly toward the beginning; must have tuned in better from trying.

[Fire Walk With Me]

62. This brings up a concept... Who is your chosen Demo candidate?

I'm wondering if there would be a correlation between any candidate(s) and low/high scores...

Mine is obviously Kucinich, if anyone wants to play...

[DarkTirade]

63. I got bored halfway through and stopped... what does that say about me?
