19/0/7

It gave me a 8. (around an 8.4 by the scale)

I have to admit, I was a bit surprised by the 0 in social interaction. I manage social situations rather well I think, even if I don't necessarily know what the deal is with other people all the time. Optimism goes a long way I guess.

I guess it was my weird fascination about the course of rivers that got me.

I got a 6 (14/4/6). Probably bumped this up due to my interest in the more structural parts of music and hard time telling intentions or emotions just by looking at someone (hearing them talk is something else). Not autistic, though.

16/8/6
3 Overall.

Nothing too terribly surprising, although some of those questions were iffy. Absolutes in 4 scale questions seem bad form to me.

[ChairmanPoo]

Agreed. Only a sith deals in absolutes.

[TheBiggerFish]

Agreed. Only a sith deals in absolutes.

... The irony still astounds me.

But anyway, test...

Well I just retook the thing and it's giving me a much stronger answer than before, so I'm confused what changed.

10/5/7/6

The only out of bounds result were Social Interaction (which I get higher marks on than I should have for spending literal years trying to mindread people) and the ASD quotient (which was in the middle, leaning close to the average for the autistic).

[Wolfhunter107]

2/9/3, 4 overall. Felt that the questions were a bit too absolute, which probably accounts for the really weird scores.

[misko27]

Oh hey, I should have my sister take this. She was actually diagnosed with it, after all.

[Eric Blank]

I got 16/0/8 and an overall score of 9.

Yup. :c

[Cruxador]

Section 3 seems a lot like a "how educated are you" section. Like, if you do a lot of things in your life, you're gonna do a lot of those things. Not because you're autistic or whatever, but because the structure of furniture might be relevant to something you could build in the future.

Anyway, on to me.

8/2/6

So I'm sensorily hyposensitive (or, in common language kind of oblivious). I guess my sensory abilities are generally weak and more importantly my fucks given about my surroundings are generally low.
On social awareness, I'm worse than the typical autist. Some of that might be a result of me being hard on myself though, and seeing it as an area where I need to improve. I don't think I'm actually autism-tier in this area. Though perhaps it's merely because I can offset it with active attention and general intelligence. I dunno. I do come across as generally a bit weird and I stand out, I know that much. On the final score, I'm closer to neurotypical than to autistic. Although to me, I seem like I have a pretty broad (non-categorical) view on things, perhaps partly due to my academic interests.

Overall the test gave me a 7, which is pretty close to autistic average. Maybe I should talk to a doctor and get myself entitled to some special benefits. But there's no real need, so I'll skip the hassle for now.

[Haspen]

14/1/5 with general score of slightly over 6.

I'm not surprised.

[Loud Whispers]

I'm just questioning the reliability of a test that comes from a website called Channel 4...

Channel 4 is just another British owned TV channel, like the BBC

Got a 4.

I also got a 4, though some of the questions were kind of weird or somewhat unapplicable... I am quite deaf, for one thing, so I'm rarely the first to notice sounds.

According to the 8Values test I am apparently a "centrist," which I suppose isn't surprising as my political views are pretty damn schizophrenic.   


Annnnd I also did the test in the OP again, with a result of INFP. Can't exactly remember my old scores, but I'm pretty sure they were less "extreme" this time. That test always feels rather inaccurate though, as a lot of the questions would have very different answers depending on other factors at the time.
