Nice to see some psych inquieries here.
Self-assesment tests are deeply flawed though.
Not very reliable :/
Might give a hint, but don't 'marry' your results in such. =)

"Your score was 37 out of a possible 50. Scores in the 33-50 range indicate significant Autistic traits (Autism)."
Lol, I think I'm just a bit introvert, not autistic...

33/50 (Significant autistic traits)

Funnily enough, I am reading a book about Autism at the moment.
Also noteworthy: This test is pretty shit.

I expected Bjenn to score 29.

This is how to score 0, the opposite answers score 50.

Resurrection of topic with another, better test.

#StopRomanticizingAutism

(It truly seems over the past decade we've gone past the point of acceptance to romantization in this, and other mental disorders)

Interesting topic - it's always seemed pretty clear to me that the elma community is a congregation of introverts and people with, let's just summarise for the sake of simplicity, various autistic/ocd/similar traits, and some score like this might be a nice summary of that. But on the other hand, like some others, I really disliked the test, and the constant choice between "always" and "never". But i guess it still gives some indication on average.

One more thing I'd like to say using this opportunity (which i think I maybe have never written about publicly here?) is that this community actually taught me fuckloads about people, especially during in-person meetings (but not only), and I'm so grateful for that. I've met amazing people from all sorts of backgrounds and countries, of different social statuses and genders/orientations, and to get back on topic - with various kinds of psyches (or mental conditions) - all in all people that I would be very unlikely to meet in my regular bubble, but that are often very different to me and to what I know. It taught me about diversity, and it taught me a hell of a lot of empathy, which is something I've been trying to focus on the last few years.

So thanks to the whole community for being awesome, and special thanks to all those who have shared their stories and thoughts and problems, either publicly or privately - by doing this you have a positive impact not just on yourselves, but on the world as a whole ❤️
