I did part one, then went to work after clicking "save and continue later". When I signed back in at work, it made me start again. So I did parts one to four before clicking "save and continue later" again. Now I've gone back in to complete it and it's told me I've done "0 of 6 parts" so sod that. I didn't have much confidence in the tests anyway, they seemed to be based on lazy stereotyping and pseudo science.

Generally I'm not THAT good with spatial tasks. Mrs F is a much better map reader than me, for example.

And I cheated on the test... for one of the 'words' ones, just to see what happened, I typed in randonm words that were nothing to do with the topic given... and it credited me for all of them. I also guessed randomly on the spatial awareness task and got 80% of those correct. :evil:
 
let's not get in a flap about it!

Christ - this pseudo-scientific bullshit REALLY gets on my tits! Good to see that the sagacious inhabitants of CC take it with a pinch of salt. I see that Simon Bloody Baron-Cohen is behind it somewhere - he gets awards as the respectable face of this kind of crap. It makes me come over all simoncc when the BBC peddles this piffle. Might be fodder for a good row with Jonesy, though, who is uncharacteristically gullible on this subject ;).

What utter tosh that was!

I enjoyed the word section - think of as many things as you can that are always grey, you have to separate each word with a comma. I managed to think of elephant and nothing else - I had already put a comma in in anticipation of thinking of another word and I scored a point for it, so for the next test you had to put in as many words like 'happy' that you could think of, I chucked in anything and scored highly! ;)

Caution: only take this test if you have some spare minutes of your life you no longer require.

I've done one of his other tests: to see how autistic you are. I thought it was quite a well designed questionaire, although I did have to think hard whether I really did prefer going to the library more than a party. I'm not that bothered about libraries neither. I scored 23 in that test, which puts me about half way between average and aspergers.

I mucked up the first one of those as I separated the words on different lines rather than with commas. You can cheat on that test, but what's the point. I also messed up on the shapes section as I didn't realise the time limit was for that whole group of tests and not each individual test. Read the instructions is the moral of that. The fact that I didn't also indicates a male brain I suspect.
