Autism-Spectrum Quotient (AQ) - Free Test Online
The Autism-Spectrum Quotient (AQ) is a brief, 50-item self-administered instrument used to measure the degree to which an adult with normal intelligence has traits associated with the autistic spectrum.
The Autism-Spectrum Quotient (AQ) was developed in 2001 by Baron-Cohen, Wheelwright, Skinner, Martin, and Clubley. It is a brief, 50-item self-administered instrument used to measure the degree to which an adult with normal intelligence has traits associated with the autistic spectrum. The AQ is widely used in both research and clinical settings because it is straightforward to score and rapidly quantifies where an individual is situated on the continuum from autism to normality.
