Asperger's Syndrome test

A slightly more serious quiz again, this one supposed to check for autistic spectrum traits - in particular for Asperger's Syndrome, or geekiness. I don't think the two are the same but they seem to be used that way these days. Since a score of 32 indicates possible Asperger's, and I scored 14, I don't think I need to worry....


Unaffected
Result: 15. Your score isn't an achievement, it just is.
Psychologist Simon Baron-Cohen and his colleagues at Cambridge's Autism Research Centre have created the Autism-Spectrum Quotient, or AQ, as a measure of the extent of autistic traits in adults. In the first majortrial using the test, the average score in the control group was 16.4.

Eighty percent of those diagnosed with autism or a related disorder scored 32 or higher. The test is not a means for making a diagnosis, however, and many who score above 32 and even meet the diagnostic criteria for mild autism or Asperger's report no difficulty functioning in their everyday lives. You scored less than 32. Make your own assessment of that.

What herb?

Only a few questions here and some of them didn't really have a 'correct' answer from my perspective. But anyway, the description isn't too bad. Maybe they're all fairly innocuous for everyone, but I thought I'd post it anyway. For what it's worth.
