Online Tests

[JHDK]

I know most of these mean nothing are are every bit as legit as those Teen Beat magazine tests that tell middle school girls what kind of guy they're into.

I still dig them.

I probably find myself taking at least one a month that's supposed to tell me something or other about myself, haha.

Today I took the autism test. Apparently if you score 65 or higher you qualify as having a caught a bit of the Tis. The higher the score the more infected you are.

The multiple choice answers are the same for every question and are really cut and dry. There's no "sometimes" option so I assumed I was going to get a higher Tis score but apparently I'm only a 44.

Think any of you can get a lower score? Post your results!

Edfward Ross Ritvo (1930-2020) was one of the psychiatrists who wrote the original definition of autism for the 1952 Diagnostic & Statistic Manual of Mental Disorders. That manual, which classified homosexuality as a "sexual deviation" within the larger "sociopathic personality disturbance," has been updated in 1968, 1980, 1994, 2013 and 2022. RAADS-R is Ritvo Autism Asperger Diagnostic Scale, Revised, a self-diagnostic questionnaire used to identify autism.

Asperger's syndrome was identified by Austrian pediatrician Hans Asperger in 1944 and introduced as a formal diagnosis in the 1994 DSM. In the 2013 DSM, it was merged into Autism Spectrum Disorder. As a child and teenager, I had no friends and did not date or socialize or go to parties. When I was 17, dear old Dad decided I was anti-social and should start seeing a psychologist/therapist at Fuller Seminary in Pasadena. He – the psychologist, not my dad – diagnosed me with Asperger's syndrome. My parents didn't try to change me. Maybe they knew they wouldn't be able to. I don't know if I want to answer the RAADS-R questions. I'm sure my score would be low.

One question, Koop: What kid of middle-school girls do you prefer?
