I'm male and I scored 14.
I have to say I did not expect such a low score. I am a very empathetic person but I'm also very quick in
recognizing patterns and discovering connections between them and I very much enjoy classifying and systemizing
things. Also, even though I am not a science expert, I am very interested in the scientific method and several non-
science teachers of mine attested me a scientific brain and suspected that science was my main focus at school
which it wasn't at all.
I suppose my low score on the test results from the fact that questions of the pattern "if I do X then i want to
know/wonder about specific detail Y" appear multiple times with X mostly being something I am not interested in
and thus do not want to know any details about.

Oh but the deep satisfaction when I look at a leafless tree between almost leafless beech trees, know it is a different species, glance at the ground and see one different leaf between all those dry beech leaves and realize it's a sweet chestnut tree, which is proven by finding sweet chestnuts digging a bit under the leaves. I know how to find food! However the names are only important for me because they allow for trading information and to facilitate memory.

I'm female and I scored 51. That doesn't surprise me at all. I'm kind of on the autism spectrum without being autistic enough to be diagnosed as having autism. I just have some Asperger-like tendencies and thought patterns, without a lot of the more negative or challenging symptoms.

I only scored 20, but oddly enough I'm curious has to how some of the questions in this
quiz (such as the one about reading instructions) distributes points one way or the
other. I'm quite good at assembling things on my own or figuring out how to assemble
them, but wouldn't someone who likes reading instructions end up with the same result -
recognition of how the product is assembled?

31, male
Suprise, was thinking that I will end up with a higher score since I'm sort of a computer
and language geek. Used to count stairsteps when I was a child.
Also, hello to everyone, this is my first post!

An average score of 36 for this male test subject.
I started feeling like a sleepy disenchanted guinea pig by the end...click, click, click *still no treats*...so glad I'm answering 60 questions rather than 150!
(an extra 10 bonus points for anyone who makes a sorted table of all our results *wink wink*)
