Hmm, I scored 42.   I suspect maybe the time I spent under the house hammering in electrical cables increased my score slightly.

I just took the 80 point quiz and got:
Your score: 61
0 - 19 = low
20 - 39 = average (most women score about 24 and most men score about 30)
40 - 50 = above average (most people with Asperger Syndrome or high-functioning autism score in this range)
51 - 80 is very high (three times as many people with Asperger Syndrome score in this range, compared to typical men, and almost no women score in this range)
80 is maximum

I guess I really am that way...

Got a 13 and I'm a male. Lower than expected, but not too surprising that I'm more on
that end of the spectrum.

Average.

I wonder if scores like this might be common among people who love language learning.


I read that a low tolerance of ambiguity is detrimental for language learning, so I guess it's not.

40. One big influence on my score was that I tend to be "satisficing" rather than
optimizing. This means that when buying a stereo, I don't analyze the stats of
everything on the market and try to find the absolute best choice. Instead, I allocate
an hour to research and try to make the best choice available within that time, using
whatever information looks to be most efficient.

In other words, my behavior looks normalish, but sometimes that's because I'm really
being too logical. :-)

EDIT: Edited for length.
