    It's been said that to be a good software developer you need to be at least a little on the Autistic / Asperger's side of things, how do you compare? http://www.wired.com/wired/archive/9.12/aqtest.html[^] (I got 25)

      29 Though, I think it will be interesting to see the score, if someone else who knows me, takes the test on my behalf.

          19, Although I'm quite indecisive so I mostly picked slightly agree and slightly disagree. My brother on the other hand would most definitely score high, 'course he is actually autistic though I've always suspected he may just be a pain in the arse.

              Half the issue with these tests is that it's pretty clear how to answer to get a particular score, and some of the questions are vague enough that people will tend to answer towards the result they want. 'Did I play pretend as a child' ? Every child does, surely.

                  It is trying to see if you fit into one category, rather than which category.

                      It's flawed because it's crystal clear in most cases how to answer to get a high score, if you want one.

                          35 but I'm not too sure about this test. It look like its really easy to screw with the scoring.
