Experimental version 1 Disclaimer: This questionnaire should not be taken as a substitute for a professional evaluation. This version is experimental.

It contains new groups that are not fully verfied, and a lot of experimental questions. It will give an accurate Aspie score, but the group scores will be less accurate. Some of the questions in this quiz are phrased so that an Aspie answer is 'yes,' and some so that an Aspie answer is 'no'.
