Next time anyone sees ol’ Rog behaving like a tool, please let me know and I’ll ban him. Thanks.

If anyone has evidence that he has ever done so, please post the url.

Anyway, this quiz is radically different from the AQ test. The AQ test looks for social, behavioural and interpersonal presentations of archetypal autistic traits that appear in the general literature. It has undergone the usual inter-rater, trans-test, inter-subject and test-retest processes, and is the result of refinement based on critique and comments from outside sources.

The HRAY quiz is based on social stereotypes of people with conditions that cause ‘Mental retardation’. There is no evidence of any refinement process at all.

They are both trait based tests. That is the end of their similarities. To compare the two and hold they are similar could be seen as potentially libellious towards the developers of the AQ.

why do you speak from admitted ignorance?

I guess being funny and insulting is more important than being outraged at a quiz with questions like:

“Assuming the state allows you to create offspring who is your best choice for a babysitter?”

(note—that is from the web-version of the quiz)

I am so glad you chose to share your sense of humor with us.
