Took the test as an actual German, scored more autistic than German. I never noticed the similarities though, very funny.

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

I took the test as an autistic person and got more German than autistic.
Turns out, the answer to that question for me is "yes"
15 questions... rigorous...
Yeah, I'm gonna smash doubt on that claim
[holding clipboard] I think I'll just put you down as "Autistic".
I did a RAADS-R pre-assessment recently which is 80 questions and scored in the "you should do additional screeners" category, so that tracks.
I'm actually both, so I was very relieved when the results only identified me as being autistic.
AuADHD not found.
The burning desire to bring order to chaos but being completely unable to do so.
The ol I have no scream and I must mouth
I was almost half and half, but slightly more Autistic
There are some questions I think are very hard to answer like this one. If it's my SO I'll explain once per month, if it's a rando I'll avoid socialising, if it's a friend I'll probably mention it once.
It also depends on what the efficiency stuff is, are we talking software use, cutting onion, tieing shoes, work stuff or changing diapers? I'm most likely over thinking this but how can you not, context is so varied here.
I'm thinking the "normal" option is actually a lot more common than they make out.
I'm afraid to take this. What if I'm German? They can't treat that, you know. I'd have to hide it from my family.
As a german (luckely my family is too so i dont have to hide) people are generally way more accepting for it when getting offered beer or club mate along with it.
But only shoving the good sides, while hiding something like that you only collect pencils with ISO 12757-2, can create a positivly warped view. Which at least is better than getting cast out.
And if you really cant show it there: there are two countries full of them where you could escape to because of something like "mountains and castles" in the Aldi Süd/Hofer part and "diverse cities" in the Aldi Nord part
I was trying to be funny.
I fully well know that my Germanness is in the acceptable range 😜.
i hoped to add to your funny and be so overspecific that its also funny
I took the German or Autistic diagnostic and scored Neither. I am apparently the control group.
Damn, I am German. Well, apparently not enough.
Did I do it right?
You have, apparently, both the cultural formation that produces systematic people and the neurological substrate that makes systematic thinking feel like breathing. This is either a significant advantage or an explanation for certain recurring difficulties in your life. Probably both.
Preach.
These questions have no correct choices:
- Your approach to an interesting topic is best described as:
Read the best books, form a view, move on.
Become extremely knowledgeable about it for a period of weeks or months, then possibly move on.
Thorough and systematic, because understanding something halfway is worse than not understanding it at all.
Develop a sustained interest that remains active for years alongside other sustained interests.
There should be an option for read Wikipedia and watch YouTube for a night then forget about it
Question 15 of 15
The real problem with the world is:
People don't think things through properly before acting.
Imprecision. In language, in thought, in action. Everything else follows from this.
People say one thing and do another.
Rules without reasons, and reasons without the courage to follow them to their conclusions.
Correct answer is human nature is imperfect and leads to things like capitalism and power dynamics.
Hmmm
47% German, 33% Tism
It said neither, but I'm pretty damn sure I got the tism

But some questions were not clear. Also one could consciously answer to get the desired result since its very clear what questions contribute to the German portion and what questions count to the Autism bar. Since i know some Germans, and i probably have a small 'tism.
The success would probably be bigger and the results less corrupted if one was presented with the questions only and no backgroundinformation.
It was fun to do nonethless.
Also im 0% German.
