Has the cultural divide cut so deep as between NEUROTYPICALS and we AUTISTS?
Discover your specific interests and your inner autist. Glory in your IQ superior to the barely surviving NT!
There is a huuge academic genre on ASD and it value.
And entertainment. Professor T (Teerlinck, NOT NT Tempest woke BBC). French Astrid (unfortunately a bit woke with honeggars bossing).
I don't know about anyone else here, but I actually have Aspergers. According to tests, of which some are suspicious to me, I have an IQ way up there. I am very good at organizing vast amounts of information, and I am very good at solving puzzles. I think outside the box. I have gathered mountains of info on my favorite fields, as well as what Q said to save.

Read Jordan B. Peterson on IQ, the most highly validated human measure.
There are many IQ tests, each testing a particular aspect, including left tails of the distribution and right tails. The ASVAB ‘66 General Classification Test is the very best of the tests of normal IQ.
My ASVAB ‘66 GCT is 74 and I am a retired nuclear engineer.
The tests I've taken say 145+. I have done programming, among other things in my career.
One question I have with the tests I've taken is that they all presume learned knowledge that not everyone has. For example, there was an analogy that said: Achilles : heel and Pandora : ______. If someone had never heard anything about mythology, they wouldn't have a clue. They also presume a super vocabulary that I don't believe directly translates to IQ. I happened to have taken Latin in school, so I have an edge on vocabulary. I can guess the meanings to words I've never heard, if they came from Latin.
Many people confuse intelligence with being smart. Being smart is just a measure of how much information you've stored in your brain. Intelligence is the horsepower necessary to deal with it. Since I have both, I am very good at the side jobs I do now. There are many more things that I'm not good at. Knowing that is very helpful.
Does that general classification test have to do with what job you're best at, or is it an actual IQ test? I would assume that a nuclear engineer would need 110 or 120 IQ at the very least to perform well.
The ASVAB ‘66 GCT correlates very well with IQ. My GCT was 74, I claim IQ 160 but I have tested at 180.
The whole point of IQ is associating things and concepts not taught, knowing words not from learning.
That's why I thought it odd that some of the analogies required specific prior knowledge in the tests I took. It would be like asking a young person about Glenn Miller or Tommy Dorsey.
BTW, 74 doesn't look much like 160 or 180.
ASVAB ... as in the same test prior to military service given at MEPS, etc? If so, that had to be one of the absolute easiest tests I had ever taken. However, the EDPT they had me take, felt like my brain had been wrung out.
Yes, but specifically the 1966 edition of the Armed Services Vocational Battery General Classification Test.
I shit psychologists. They are not there to cure you, you are there to cure them.
