Might be because i struggled to make eye contact for most of my life and eye contact is torture.

Eye contact is like sex, its extremely intimate

Can relate. I look at the face in general. It depends on how focused I am on the interaction. Eye contact is personal.

I got 32 on the eye test.

Those eyes are pretty ambiguous. Like reading tea leaves.

How long did it take you to complete the test?

I needed 870 seconds and scored 23/36. I thought I was rather good at reading facial expressions before taking that test

573 seconds.

That eye test is a very good test of intuituon. You are not supposed to overthink it but feel with your gut.

I am very good at intuition.

I didn't take this one. I was professionally diagnosed earlier this year, eight standardized instruments. On every autism scale I land in the top 2–3% of the general population, and on restricted interests I'm at the 99.98th percentile, roughly 1 in 4,300. The number that explains the rest is camouflaging: 99.32nd percentile.

I took a complete autism-inventory in person and I was on the border for nearly all the markers..they told me they couldn't  really tell anything conclusive 

 

It was obvious to me that if I went to a random health care provider off the street I might get a more positive or negative conclusion.

ChatGPT has supplied the goods:

 

Epistemic Sadism Scale (ESS-20)

Instructions: Please indicate how much you agree or disagree with each statement. Answer according to your general tendencies, rather than a particular incident.

Response options:

5 — Highly agree

4 — Agree

3 — Neither agree nor disagree

2 — Disagree

1 — Highly disagree

 

Answer and then score according to the scale above. Questions marked R should be scored in reverse (i.e. 6-response number). 

 

Axis 1: Epistemic Dominance

The pleasure of possessing an informational or intellectual advantage over another person.

I enjoy knowing something important that another person does not.

Having information that gives me an advantage over someone else is satisfying.

I find it gratifying when someone realises that I understand something they do not.

I sometimes enjoy allowing someone to continue believing something when I know they are mistaken.

I prefer intellectual exchanges in which both people have an equal understanding of the subject. (R)

Axis 2: Intellectual Humiliation

The pleasure of exposing another person's ignorance, inadequacy, or intellectual vulnerability.

I enjoy watching someone struggle to defend a belief that I know is false.

It can be satisfying to expose someone's ignorance in front of other people.

I sometimes find it amusing when someone confidently makes a claim that I know is wrong.

I enjoy seeing someone realise that they have been intellectually outmatched.

I feel uncomfortable when someone is made to look foolish because of something they do not know. (R)

Axis 3: Epistemic Manipulation

The pleasure of controlling another person's access to information, understanding, or truth.

I find it satisfying to lead someone towards a conclusion without revealing that I am doing so.

I enjoy knowing how someone will react when they eventually discover the truth.

I sometimes find it pleasurable to let someone draw an incorrect conclusion from information I have given them.

I enjoy having control over when another person discovers something important.

I prefer to give people all the relevant information rather than control what they know. (R)

Axis 4: Epistemic Cruelty

The pleasure of causing psychological discomfort through the use of knowledge, truth, or intellectual advantage.

I sometimes enjoy telling someone a truth that I know will upset them.

Seeing someone become confused or distressed by something I have revealed can be pleasurable.

I enjoy making someone question a belief that is important to their sense of identity.

I sometimes find another person's intellectual discomfort more satisfying than the practical outcome of correcting them.

I would rather someone discover an uncomfortable truth in a supportive environment than have it exposed publicly. (R)

ChatGPT is a left-leaning pile of absolute garbage that has been poisoned by assholes in the states that infused it with their mind-virus of toxic garbage. If you are using ChatGPT for anything important, you are really ignorant. Go to claude.ai and use Sonnet 5.5 or upwards for any serious truth seeking work. Also you really need to learn how to ask the right questions to get the right answers. 

I spent two semesters studying psychology in my masters. So I know exactly how psychologists "work", how they think (simpletons). Most of the students are just capable of 1-dimensional thinking, they have no life-experience, some of the professors with 30-40 years experience are capable of 2-dimensional thinking (abstract thinking). I didn't meet a single person at the faculty capable of true 3-dimensional thinking.

Look what I just found in my notes from this morning 

Spoiler

I think I fell into the same trap door that Leo also fell into a few years ago, hehe...

I am not cruel, I am not evil, I don't manipulate, I don't want to humiliate people, but if someone tries to dominate me I will put them in their place.... I am just trying to help

Result: Your score was 24 out of a possible 50. Scores in the 0-25 range indicate few or no Autistic traits.

I am not autistic, but I am very neurotic. I love cleanliness and order too much.

I can't tolerate dirt, whether literal or metaphorical, on my skin or in my soul. I am too neurotic about cleanliness. Every time I return home from outdoors, I clean every square centimeter of everything I brought with me, including my wallet, comb, phone, and other personal items. A single uncleaned square centimeter inflicts tremendous anxiety on me. And, of course, I can't relax without taking a shower first. When there's a mess or clutter in my immediate vicinity, it becomes difficult for me to function.

I feel somewhat embarrassed about this aspect of my personality, even though it often attracted admiration from Japanese girls. When I worked as an English teacher, I lived alongside my adult students at the school. They frequently complimented me on being exceptionally clean, meticulous, and organized.

Whenever I told them that I actually disliked this characteristic, they struggled to comprehend my perspective. Instead, they would call me "the ultimate Japanese". After all, cleanliness and discipline are among the values most strongly associated with Japan. Japanese are widely known for their orderliness, discipline, and attention to cleanliness.

I've often thought of them as "half-me", meaning that they possess a milder version of my own neurotic tendencies. It fascinated me that a mild form of neurosis is considered the standard at a societal level.

I perceive my obsession with cleanliness and order as more of a curse than a gift. It has drained an enormous amount of time and energy from my life. As the old cliche goes, too much of a good thing can be bad.

Soon, I will fight this neurosis and learn to embrace dirt and mess. Cleanliness and order are forms of beauty, but ease and convenience are also forms of beauty.

This post is longer than it needs to be, but I chose to write it this way because, after making 700 posts, this is the first time I've shared this struggle in such detail. It will also be the last time I discuss it on this forum.

That's called being Virgo, maybe Aries too lol. What's you're sun moon and rising. (Not to deny you having anything of course (OHHAWAHAH).

I don't grasp anything you just said! 

But I asked my AI to decode it for me. My Sun sign is Taurus. I'm not sure about my Moon and Rising signs because I don't know my birth chart.

Interestingly, my AI said that Taurus stereotypes are usually associated with:

liking comfort and stability,

being stubborn,

being routine-oriented,

appreciating quality and aesthetics.

I possess these characteristics as well. Is this merely a coincidence, or does astrology contain some truth? 

[shenanigans]

The sun is your core self, The moon is your internal world, your rising is your vehicle for interacting with the world.

This follows the holon structure of all cells, atoms, and planets — an inner core, a internal medium, and an external gravity or influence.

Mine is: Leo sun, Virgo moon, Libra Rising. Everything needed for a perfect graceful rockstar Sovern 

Leo: Rockstar Radiance

Virgo: The drive to perfect it

Libra: To deliver it with fairness and grace.

 

That's the system. I have no idea how the planets energy chorales to this, but my astrology has never been wrong lol.

17. I think my score could be potentially higher, but i dont think im bad at social situations or reading people im just introverted.

Also being interested in mathematics or shit like that doesnt mean its a sign of autism. Im not fascinated in the sense they mean it. Nor do i get upset.

I asked my AI to decode it for me is a sentence that I still cannot fathom .

I think lots of people here will have that combination.... 

Are you guys actually interested in getting the "key" for this so-called psychology test to actually score it properly? 

[shenanigans]

No, its a one in 1/1728 probability. Most people of my type would rather be jumping around like ishowspeed than learning personal development. This doesn't also factor in the additional 12 houses cycle system for all the other planets — Which also must be factored in. Still I find it useful for a quick summary.

Keanu Reeves: Virgo, Cancer, Virgo — Angelic/Perfectionist, Kind Nurturing inner world, Angelic Expression

Michael Jackson: Virgo, Virgo, Libra — Perfection/Angelic,  Perfection of craft, Expressed with Grace

If you do the math it actually kind of just checks out lol.

Okay then if you don't want the key... Here it is:

Spoiler

1, 3, 8, 10, 11, 14, 15, 17, 24, 25, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 34, 36, 37, 38, 40, 44, 47, 48, 49, 50

Just paste it into the field "Paste a key to flag exceptions (optional)" and hit apply. This only works if you didn't "take a stand" on any of the questions and hit strongly agree. So agree = yes = true AND strongly agree == yes yes = true true = true..... (Undefined behaviour in computer science terminology). 

The real kicker in the nuts comes when I start flagging questions and the entire test falls apart as being a biased piece of shit designed by a complete idiot over 20 years ago. The idiot might not be an idiot anymore. But 20 years ago he certainly was.

The idea of media induce autism is pretty funny. You've spent so much time gaming and browsing, on they phone and not socializing, that your basically retarded.

I think it's just another consequence of modernity, between increased technology use and the erosion of thin relationships (opposite of friends and family) and local communities by extent.

 

Hahaha true.

When I have done technology blackouts before, I find after a few days I start wanting to go out and socialise a lot. Right now, I have little inclination to do so.
