Oh, no, I don't just hate them. I'm almost literally incapable of getting through a large variety of forms without assistance. I've gotten halfway through certain forms only to break down crying and found myself completely unable to answer any of the questions, and needing to fill out forms can ruin my mental stability for days.
Something about the way the information is structured just fucks with my mind.
Its not that I hate them, I don't, thinking about them they don't seem all that bad, really, I don't really understand what happens when I try to fill them out.
Heh, I may have some issues.

I have difficulty starting forms, but once I get going, oh man. It's weird, because I always dread doing paperwork but it always ends up being relaxing if I have all the info I need. Probably the fact that I often don't makes me associate them with stress though. Bleh.

Anyway, having never investigated this direction before, this information was deeply interesting, very enlightening, and will have absolutely no effect on how I act because I'm not actually placing much stock in using an Internet quiz to examine my psyche and you may have guessed that the first two descriptors were not entirely truthful :p. Also, the numerical results don't look significant at first glance and I wonder if the graph is blowing things out of proportion.

Your Aspie score: 127 of 200
Your neurotypical (non-autistic) score: 78 of 200
You are very likely an Aspie

EDIT: That's not to say it isn't an entertaining diversion, I just felt like turning that sentence extra-rambly.

Minsky then shut his eyes. “Why do you close your eyes?”, Sussman asked his teacher.
“So that the room will be empty.”

So in the context of this quiz, what does 'Hunting' mean?

Provided that I have all the information, it's like a very relaxing examination where I know all the answers and can just fill them in in a leisurely sort of fashion.

There are other forms that have made me want to strangle small wildlife, however.

I don't like forms, but if I do them for about 15 minutes straight I sort of go into a concentration trance as I keep filling them out. It's like being asleep, almost. Part of my mind goes off to do other things while another fills out forms on autopilot.

So in the context of this quiz, what does 'Hunting' mean?

 This is just a copy and paste.

Aspie hunting

 This group contains passive hunting traits. One part of the traits is related to preferred habitats (e.g. slowly flowing water; caves; woods; liking mist or fog). Another part seems to be
close-contact hunting traits (e.g. jumping over things; climbing; chasing animals; biting; enjoying spinning in circles; strong grip; strong hands; physical endurance; enjoying rodeo riders).
Some other traits are related to sneaking (e.g. sneaking through the woods; sneaking up on animals; walking on toes) and general hunting tactics (e.g. mimicking animal sounds; digging;
throwing small things; building traps; fascination for fire; sniffing)

Neurotypical hunting

 The traits in this group are related to cooperative hunting. These traits are often described in terms of dysfunctions. Typical traits are recollections of environmental information (e.g.
positions of things; scores in games; order of words, letters and digits; map reading) and passing on information to others (e.g. passing on messages; knowing left from right; dates and times
of events; remembering appointments and events; reading clocks and calendars; carrying over information between contexts). Other traits are related to trading and exchange with others (e.g.
calculating change from a purchase; knowing what to bring to appointments; remembering sequences of past events; remembering formulas; filling out forms).

Exactly this. It's all just this nice long chain of, "Yeah, I got this, I'm being productive, everything's good..." Kind of like cooking something I've made dozens of times before, only stretched out over the time it takes to fill out the form. For me, anyway.

Hmm, I got a higher rating from Neurotypical, although some of the activities in aspie sound a lot more attractive. Sneeking around in a forest with a river sounds about a billion times more fun than filling out forms.

Having said that, I do love playing the DM. Right now I'm enjoying myself modding a mafia game, and that seems to fit into the neurotypical side.

I must just like hunting.

I have a significant amount of Aspie-like and -specific symptoms without (I think) actually having it, and I knew that before this quiz.
Not really surprised here.

The first thing there seems like a list of things I like/do regularly/am good at, with the exception of mimicking animal sounds and traps. Oh god chasing rabbits and pigeons and fish is the best thing in the world though.

While the second seems to be more of a mixed bag, I'm amazingly bad at pretty much all the non-spacial/non-math bits, though. For example, me and months: I still have difficulty remembering their order, and forget how many days are in them, or what day it is, or whether today being the 24 and some event occurring on the 24th has any meaning to my poor little mind at all (it usually doesn't).

I guess ultimately that's not much to base things on, though.
