50 screens? Merely completing it is a sufficient test. They should have just put all the questions on one page.

(If anyone wants to do that, I'll switch the link.)

This test also fails to take into account the "grumpy old bastard" effect.

I won't announce my score, other than it in the set of the Nth-prime-numbers where N is also prime.

PS - there are 50 questions, but they don't require whole-page refreshes.

PPS - I'm not suggesting you are a grumpy old man!

With a statement like that, I'd suggest that stating a score is superfluous anyway.

The top score was 50 right? If so I've narrowed your score down to: 17, 31, or 41.

I think we can safely eliminate 17 ;-)

I'm going submit 31 as my guess. Am I correct? What do I win?

Do you count 2 as the 1st prime or the 0th?
Re:What's your autism quotient? (link updated) by adnam on Friday September 07, 2007 @11:20AM (#51720)
I'm using 2 as the first prime.

http://www.wired.com/wired/archive/9.12/aqtest.html looks to be the same questions in a different order.

http://www.isle-of-avalon.co.uk/cgi-bin/aq.cgi - here's a fixed version of that one. It doesn't look very pretty, but it does the job.

edit: if anyone else wants to host it, drop me an email and I'll send you the source.

When you calculate the score can you add what it means?
Re:What's your autism quotient? (link updated) by gwenhwyfaer on Friday September 07, 2007 @10:39AM (#51700)
Well, the original test was kind of vague about what it means (and because I don't have a working Flash, I can't see what this one says about it). I can mention the "the neurotyp mean score was 16.4, but 80% of aspies scored above 32" bit though.

edit: done

The flash test is adaptive but uses your IP address to keep your question set the same for your test, in case you pick different answers the next time you take the test :-)

(my score : 13)

Darn it, you're probably right. I was so proud of myself for only scoring 20, toward the upper end of "average". But that may be average only for people who will answer all 50 questions.
