	BlackChampagne -- no longer new; improvement also in question.: Asperger or Asshole? Friday, August 10, 2007 Asperger or Asshole? Since everyone (except for people who don't) loves online surveys that can also be used to diagnose serious mental illnesses, here's a fun link. I saw it from a post on Pharyngula, whose atheist, biologist, Phd proprietor scored in the antisocial obsessive range, but well below the borderline-autistic borderline. Coincidentally, I scored the same as PZ did. A 24, which the test labels as an average math contest winner. You can see what the test is driving at by the clusters of thematically-linked questions. People with Autism/Asperger's are generally obsessed with numbers and patterns and minor details, they make routines they hate to deviate from, they have little/no empathy for or insight into the feelings of others, and they do not enjoy spontaneity or new situations or human interaction/chit chat. If you answers skew towards antisocial and obsessive, and you'll come in pretty high up the test. The overlap between simply being antisocial or unconcerned with others can be kind of high, though. I think I hit the Asperger's range pretty well on a lot of the social issues and routines and such, but for me it's a conscious choice, rather than a biological determinism. (At least that's what I tell myself.) I'm not good at chit chat since I feel it's a waste of time. I can do it, but I don't want to. I very much enjoy conversation and dialogue, but it has to be about something and be of some substance. I'd much rather have a long conversation with someone I disagree with about X or Y, than spend 5 minutes sharing insubstantial gripes with someone who feels as I do about X or Y. I don't mind talking to new people, so long as they're intelligent and able to you know... talk. And think. That and I am well out of practice at math and don't pay much attention to numbers, or my social tendencies would have put me well into Rainman range.
