GAIA researches Aspergoid features in gifted adults. Determine your score below. Check each of the 54 items you feel applies to you and click the button to see how many you checked. You can consult the statistics for this questionnaire for comparison and further information. Here is a description of Asperger Syndrome.
For clarity, Asperger Syndrome may occur at any I.Q. level from about 70 upward, but this inventory is aimed at the combination of Asperger with high intelligence in adults, with its specific problems. In psychiatry, adults with Asperger often receive alternative diagnoses such as schizophrenia, depression or almost any personality disorder. Asperger Syndrome, thought by some to be identical to high-functioning autism, is especially similar to Nonverbal Learning Disability and Schizoid Personality.
Obviously, not all highly intelligent persons have Asperger. With no or few features from the list you do not have the condition. Even with a high score, one should realize only a psychiatrist can diagnose, and other disorders than Asperger are possible too. Although GAIA was originally conceived to detect Aspergoid features, it may actually be measuring a more general disposition for psychiatric disorders without being able to point to one specific disorder.
