my score, 36, male.
I have been previously been tested as being a "mild aspergers" candidate. did architectural drafting for 18 years which highly satisfied my need for having straight lines and etc organization. i used to be good at math (and like my son says, "Dad, what the hell happened?") no more math, just Language study nowadays. i like using the grammatical structure of Albanian when talking in English. it totally pisses off my son (who beats me in Boggle by a factor of 2). double verbal negatives. do They have "Boggle" in non-English languages? 4x4 squares with random letters and you try to make up words by connecting adjacent pieces. fun game. i usually lose. I can find a TYPO anywhere (it is more than just a curse). Edited by langslav on 26 December 2012 at 4:06pm 1 person has voted this message useful | |

49 - near the top of the 'above average' section and close to the high scores. And I can't say I didn't expect this. The thing that saves me from being too extreme is that I divide things in those that I systematize and those I don't care about (and those I can with total indifference leave as a total mess). For instance I don't care much about plant names, but definitely about those of birds. I don't get obsessed by election scores in different constituencies because I find the political processes disgusting, and I don't have to study those mechanisms that differentiate different kinds of mobile phones becauise I don't intend to buy one. But everything I collect or study will definitely be systematized.

17, male
I'm actually really organized, logical and nerdy. But I just don't care for things outside my little world of interests. 4 persons have voted this message useful | |

Interesting. I got a 51 out of 80, so just within the high range for males.

37 points, female.
I actually expected a higher result, but there were many things I don't care about, such as plant names or animal species. And there aren't enough motorways in my region to link up ;P. I think I apply a systematizing approach mostly to things that I am interested in (whereas plants, animals and quite many other subjects referred to in the test are not all that interesting for me), and to whatever I collect. I have to repeat the test later on, though, when I'm in a different mood. Edited by Julie on 30 December 2012 at 4:35pm 1 person has voted this message useful | |

I scored 18 and started to wonder, whether I should be learning languages at all :).

26, so I'm in the average range but a bit below the male average. If I took this test as a kid I probably would have scored a lot higher, but I've since learned to relax and let things be without trying to figure out all the details. I do still have occasional spergie spells though (I use the term lovingly), where I snap out of it two hours later with a chronological list of Bronze Age events, or a play-by-play account of the 1976 Republican National Convention written up in Word.
Maybe I'm still weird... :( 1 person has voted this message useful |
