  Fun fun. My friend sent this to me as he thought I'd find it interesting, which I sure as shit did. It actually seems pretty legit, or at-least more so than most online quizzes you'll come across.
  
  Kind of surprised they didn't mention sociopathy as a potential explanation for a low score, but oh well. You get the idea.
  
  My results,

  If you answered strongly agree with most of the animal questions, I assume that is one reason why. Mine would probably be a lot lower if I didn't give a crap about animals. But thankfully, I do.

  Some of these questions are just so weird that I don't know how to answer them in a testing situation.
  
  20. I tend to have very strong opinions about morality.
  Yes, but they go in a different direction than the general opinion of it.
  
  3. I try to keep up with the current trends and fashions.
  Isn't this based a bit on age? Someone who's aging obviously won't know as much about current trends as someone my age.
  
  1. I can easily tell if someone else wants to enter a conversation.
  What if I can tell they don't want to and still feel a conversation is necessary, so I make one regardless? Doesn't that make me a bit of a jerk sometimes, or at least a bit pushy?
  
  That's why I'm not going to rely on the results much. A lot of these questions will be answered the same way by people with very different perspectives and ways of dealing with things. I'm only 20 questions in, but probably 5 or 6 of these so far have given me answers that I know won't line up in the way they were "intended" to.
  
  21. It is hard for me to see why some things upset people so much.
  What if this only applies to a range of things but I completely understand why people are bothered by things others generally do not understand?

  [SIZE="4"]Your score: 30
  0 - 32 = low (most people with Asperger Syndrome or high-functioning autism score about 20)
  33 - 52 = average (most women score about 47 and most men score about 42)
  53 - 63 is above average
  64 - 80 is very high
  80 is maximum
  [/SIZE]
  
  For me it's more that I just don't care about other people rather than I can't understand them. And also animals are awesome.:thumb:

  Did you answer strongly to everything?

  44 --- For the most part, I think it'd be pretty accurate. D:

  I got 47. I understand how people are because most of the time, I've been in the same situation. It's hard for me not to care about someone.
  
  (Well it did say most women would get a 46.)

  I'm surprised I got that high, and I don't have autism or aspergers. :shoe:

  No I didn't actually, I had quite a few in between answers if I remember correctly.
  
  And yea I did get 80 just taking the test normally and well I've always considered myself oversensitive to everything around me which is why I'm not surprised at all. ;;
  
  I'm always in tuned to how people are feeling, even through text. My friends could be talking to me normally and just for some reason I'll know something is wrong right away. I can't kill bugs or watch the news without crying. There's a long list of things but I think I'll stop here, unless someone is curious about something specific D:

  I wonder if it's made by someone from PETA/Women sympathizers(by which I mean Feminist extremists).
• Kaeporo wrote on 2012-04-20 04:53
  I scored a 32.
• RebeccaBlack wrote on 2012-04-20 04:55
  I got a 46. Exactly average I guess, or perhaps slightly above if it goes up to 80. Very surprising, expected a negative number.

  Hmm, weird, I was in between about a lot of things as well. There aren't many of those questions I was 100% on because they were pretty vague or varied a lot based on the situation.
