russell sent a link to a self-tests autism / asperger's test, with associated warning. decided to give it a shot:

• Autism Spectrum quotient: 21 (high-end of "average". nothing significant here, for me, then)
• Systemizing quotient: 47 (ASP-indicative)
• Empathy Quotient: 20 (most people with Asperger Syndrome or high-functioning autism score about 20)
• Reading the mind in the eyes: 33 (30-36 very accurate)

that's fascinating. dreadful empathy quotient, but very high ability to determine people's emotional state (mind-in-the-eyes).

such a pity that bloody internet communication (free software development) isn't usually usually face-to-face.

hm. anyone else gonna give this a try? :)
