Comments on: How Autistic Are You? http://www.blahstuff.com/oldstuff/2006/03/29/449/aq-quotient/ A weblog about stuff and junk by Jake Sutton Sat, 05 Jul 2008 10:39:49 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.5.1 By: Vivre La Différence » AQ Tests and the EQ SQ tests http://www.blahstuff.com/oldstuff/2006/03/29/449/aq-quotient/#comment-2812 Vivre La Différence » AQ Tests and the EQ SQ tests Mon, 17 Apr 2006 18:20:55 +0000 http://www.blahstuff.com/oldstuff/2006/03/29/449/aq-quotient/#comment-2812 [...] Looking at recent blog discussion of the AQ tests, such as this one at Blahstuff, there’s been a number of interesting responses. One very amusing idea was to take the test personally and then ask the wife to take it on his behalf: that gets rid of at least some of the bias from any self-administered personality test. Dave thought that his geekiness tainted the results…umm, Dave, geekiness is a form of that male brain type thing which is why the EQ and SQ tests might be more appropriate. For Tzemach Atlas, no, Simon Baron-Cohen is Ali G’s cousin, not brother. Bowleserised added a request to include the last book that the testee had read to their results. Not quite sure what that means except that one of the commenters actually had his passport application signed by Simon B-C.

Plus I usually only read when I go to bed, which isn't conducive to quick progress. It generally takes me at least a month to finish the average novel. I’m a slow reader, dude.
