I have three crowns and it seems to be a suspicious trait or so I've heard. Not sure how true it is.
I would believe there's a correlation. Wonder which axis it affects?

@flabdablet said in Aspie Quiz:
TIL: those fucking moronic charts are A Thing.
Yes, of course they are.
most meaningless feature (the connecting lines)
The most meaningful feature is supposed to be the area inside the graph... how much area is inside the lines, and where on the graph it is located.
So if you split the graph down the middle, more area on the neurotypical side = neurotypical, more on the neurodiverse side = aspie. Same for if you split it horizontally; then you can compare the intellectual skills vs. the people skills.
I would say that the wiki's comment about "relative position and angle of the axes is typically uninformative" is basically only true because the average idiot slapping some axes on a chart doesn't give thought to how the data should be expressed, logically. There should be some logic to the position and angle of the axes (as the aspie chart actually demonstrates, by arranging the traits themselves along a larger 2D axis).

Also, they are meant (I think) to be used to compare different curves, such as on the onebox picture. If the axes are reasonably well thought out (and somehow comparable -- even with some kind of subjective note, as long as they are scaled similarly), and the datasets are comparable, then it can be a relatively easy way to see how some datasets are better in one aspect but worse in another. With a single curve, they are indeed mostly meaningless.
As with all graphical displays, they have their use, but it's easy to make meaningless (or confusing) ones.

TCMS is something that's been around for decades and has been extensively studied. Not sure if it's been 50 years, but it's been quite a while. As with so many other things, the future is starting to arrive in the modern day!
The problem was figuring out how to convolve the signal so as to get a precise tool. We know we don't want the electromagnetic equivalent of a surgeon's knife or a bouncer's billy club…

Is that what you meant to say? Because it seems a bit off.
-
@masonwheeler To be fair, either of those would be better than a bouncer's knife or a surgeon's billy club.
-
@masonwheeler said in Aspie Quiz:
Is that what you meant to say?
Yes. I wrote exactly what I meant there. I sometimes manage to do that. :)
A surgeon's knife is sharp, but destructive. The billy club is blunt. Neither is the desired thing: precise, and yet not destructive, so that the brain is encouraged to heal itself into a healthy pattern.
-
@dkf That's the part that confused me. A scalpel is generally considered to be minimally destructive, specifically because it's so precise.

Why would you do that when there is the glorious 9 (= 32)? There's also 27 (= 33) but ain't nobody got time for that.

Minimally, but non-zero
-
@masonwheeler said in Aspie Quiz:

It's not really suitable for dealing with the detail of brain structures, in part because often they're relatively deep within, and are also very small. TCMS and optogenetics appear to be far more interesting approaches, as they are both less destructive and more precise.
Welcome to the future, now with less surgery!

Your neurodiverse (Aspie) score: 114 of 200
Your neurotypical (non-autistic) score: 107 of 200Half aspie, half not, but fully non social. Seems right.

The scalpel requires cutting them open to actually get at the part you're trying to work on, though. When you're operating on the brain, any amount of cutting into it is undesirable.

If you think you're weird, you're going to be more weird.
I'm the guy in panels 3 and 11, sometimes the one in panel 6.
I'm neurotypical, btw. I just forgot to take a screenshot or save the link before closing the private tab, and no way I'm doing that again.
I'd say I'm 6/8/10.

@dkf 27 is my favorite number

@flabdablet Did you read the article? They didn't just remove it; they replaced it with a 3D-printed prosthesis.
That's right. We have a person walking around today, living a normal life, with an artificial skull! You can't tell me that's not awesome.

So what? They gave my guy a hat.

@masonwheeler said in Aspie Quiz:
The presenter didn't go into too much detail about how the EEG readings are performed
I'm guessing they do it properly with the variety of extremely effective noise filtering techniques I learned about and used during my neurobiology studies, so I doubt the EEG readings were particularly inaccurate.

I believe it was in the early 60's, so yes.

They're very commonly used by games to display character stats. I'm kind of surprised you've never seen them, honestly.

I'm old. I play chess, assorted kinds of Solitaire, and puzzle games from Amanita Design. I have no idea what you young'uns are subjecting yourselves to, and if you want to make Tufte kill kittens that's no skin off my nose.

Here are my results, not that I know what to make of them:

Pretty much averagely normal. Apart from no social skills whatsoever.

I found the quiz itself (i.e., what questions it asked) and the sharing of many different results above to be fascinating.
Your neurodiverse (Aspie) score: 105 of 200
Your neurotypical (non-autistic) score: 98 of 200
You seem to have both neurodiverse and neurotypical traitsAs a consultant, my communication skills better damn well be good though I still have my colleagues/superiors review my e-mails at times because I tend to go way over-formal or insert subtle jibes when I'm frustrated. My current director is amazing for how much he's helped me with my communication.
- Do you rock back-and-forth or side-to-side (e.g. for comfort, to calm yourself, when excited or overstimulated)?
I was curious if anyone else does this. It bothered teachers/specialists a hell of a lot when I was younger; I think most of them thought I had ADHD, but my father was not interested in anyone trying to push any sort of medication and I thank him for that to this day. In his opinion and mine, as long as it isn't a harmful behavior, who the hell cares? It's definitely still odd though.
- Do you find it difficult to take notes in lectures?
Unless I'm concentrating really hard, oh my God yes.
- Do you have an alternative view of what is attractive in the opposite sex?
HETERONORMATIVE BULLSHIT.
Especially a bit curious after asking much earlier about alternative sexual preferences. But at least they used "alternative" instead of incorrectly using "alternate".

I figured I would give it a try.

When I was younger, it was shaking my leg/foot (not something weird/extreme - kinda like someone impatiently bouncing their leg up and down while waiting in chair, except without the impatience). Now I can't because it shakes my computer, so I've ended up doing that rocking thing without realizing it.

I've got (self-diagnosed) restless leg syndrome, too!

Yes, this too. I do this mostly when I'm standing, but occasionally when I'm sitting down, too. As the oldest in a large family, I've been caring for babies for pretty much all my life, though.

That might be a fun game. Try to see if we can get one search site to produce results from another search provider. :P

It's says I probably have asperger, but the doctor said I have ADD, should I see another doctor?
You're trusting an Internet quiz over a doctor who examined you? Do you have other reasons to doubt his treatment?
-
@boomzilla are you implying that there are wrong things on the internet?
-
@boomzilla ASD and ADD are often comorbid
-
@Jaloopa I didn't know that, and never asked a doctor to investigate it. Dunno what I would do with this information anyway

That's right. We have a person walking around today, living a normal life, with an artificial skull! You can't tell me that's not awesome.
Although my wife does not have an entire plastic skull, she does have a plastic forehead, made with a 3-D printer. I think the awesome part was that she walked around for a year without a forehead, before they got around to giving her the prosthesis.
