I'm always pushing the RDOS aspie quiz because I think that it's the most accurate one out there but I've just been referred to another one - which has similar questions and which uses the Baron-Cohen criteria.
So here's the URL (http://aq.server8.org/).
There's 50 questions and you should answer them fairly quickly so that first impressions count.
My score was 40.
To put this in perspective;
0-10 low
11-22 average (women=15, men=17)
23-31 above Average
32-50 very high (average Aspergers & HFA score is 35)

I have strong critique against B-C's gender theory thing, but at least his quizzes are accurate.
It manifests quite differently in women. I'm not quite sure why, but it does. I don't think the diagnostic criteria is suitably refined for picking up anything but the most extreme female aspies.
Do you know of a link with a quick sum up?
Your neurotypical (non-autistic) score: 45 of 200
You are very likely an Aspie" on the rdos one.
But some aspies and neuro whatsits and a spiders web on the other - what on earth is that? what does it mean no talent?
If you score well on the left hand side, it means that you're presenting as neurotypical "normal" - if your graph is over the right hand side, it means that you present as aspie.
So... If you look at talent, you probably wont have "none" but you'll score over one side or the other. A low score will tend to mean that you present as borderline aspie/nt rather than suggest that you are talentless...
See my graph here...
Or maybe my meds work well

(Well I knew that ... )
46 on the B-C test.
Your blog looks very interesting; shall be exploring :)
I have a son who is officially diagnosed as an aspie so after doing the reading I know this is what I've dealt with my whole life just never knew what it was - I'd love to have an official diagnosis so that I might be able to afford some help with it but I can barely afford to survive most of the time... Anyways, thanks for posting this it was nice to see where i fit from the online perspective.

I scored 116/89 on the long quiz and 35 on the short one, which is a bit odd.
I wonder if it's because the long quiz picks up on compensatory factors which adjust behaviour towards neurotypical norms, whereas the Baron-Cohen one disregards or misses those? For instance, 10-12 years ago, when I was a teenager, I really had a lot of trouble making eye contact or smiling and greeting people, but now I seem to have become able to partly compensate for that. (I still have some trouble with eye contact, though).
113/200 AS & 89/200 NT Rdos
You seem to have both Asper and NT traits. (I like Asper better than Aspie or ...Aspergian)
Their Hunting/Neanderthal angle makes me rather uneasy. Good test, none the less.

i wish someone would tell me all those years when i thought i was a freak or when people thought i was dumb and i believed it, too.
knowing is such a relief. guess it's an aspie trait, too, wanting everything to have a reason and freaking out when you can't figure out why someone is acting a certain way or why certain things happen.
150/57 on the rdos, and 39 on the B-C.
It seems to confirm what I have known for 40 years.

Can I consider myself to be a borderline aspie?
Leaving out a question might have influenced the scores.
on the RDOS:
Your Aspie score: 172 of 200
Your neurotypical (non-autistic) score: 36 of 200
On the RDOS quiz there were a few questions i could not answer due to the fact that they were vague. Some things depend on situation, or perception, or just need more clarification for an answer to be given.
for example: Have others commented or have you observed yourself that you make unusual facial expressions?
answer.. i don't make facial expressions apparently. I have a lack of, and if there are no facial expressions then it can't quite be an unusual facial expression so how do I answer that?
another example: Do you have difficulties imitating & timing the movements of others, e.g. when learning new dance steps or in gym class?
I flunked gym class, mostly I assume because I refused to wear the little outfit or take communal showers, also because unless it was archery or weightlifting.. i was inept at physical sport. So it depends on what I'm imitating or timing.
There were numerous other questions I could not answer.
Also, after decades of learned "fitting in just enough" how does that affect the outcome? I have never been diagnosed and I am 47, female.
