Life with Aspergers

I'm always interested in personality tests, mainly because when a lot of aspies do them, patterns start to emerge. I'm not entirely a believer in them but that doesn't make the patterns any less fascinating. Anyway, here are my results from the Enneagram test. There are a couple online. In this test , I got equally 1 (Perfectionist) and 5 (Detachment). I've already noticed that a lot of aspies who do this test seem to score 5. http://similarminds.com/test.html Main Type Overall Self Take Free Enneagram Personality Test Enneagram Test Results Type 1 Perfectionism |||||||||||||||||||| 90% Type 2 Helpfulness |||||||||||||||| 62% Type 3 Image Focus |||||||||||| 50% Type 4 Hypersensitivity |||||||||||||||| 70% Type 5 Detachment |||||||||||||||||||| 90% Type 6 Anxiety |||||||||||||||| 70% Type 7 Adventurousness |||||||||| 34% Type 8 Aggressiveness |||||||||||| 46% Type 9 Calmness |||||||||||||...

It's a well known fact that the percentage of introverted personality types amongst Aspergers people is considerably higher than the percentage amongst the neurotypical community but this often leads to the belief that all aspies are, by definition, introverted.

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)

Wondering if you've got Asperger's, well, wonder no more... I was directed to an online Aspie Quiz which is quite good. I scored 161 The quiz is at http://www.rdos.net/eng/Aspie-quiz.php I had a look at the other scores and based on rough estimates, I'm in the top 15% of people with Aspergers. 100 is still aspergers, so 161 is reasonably high.
