Autism Traits Test

Explore where you fall on the autism spectrum — based on the AQ framework

What this test measures

Based on the Autism Spectrum Quotient developed by Simon Baron-Cohen at the University of Cambridge. The AQ measures traits associated with the autism spectrum across five dimensions. This test is for self-reflection and educational purposes only.

What the Autism Traits Test measures

Your answers are scored across 5 core dimensions:

• Social Interaction

  Your social comfort is mixed — you manage well in familiar or low-pressure settings but can feel drained or out of step in large, noisy, or unpredictable social environments. Social interaction is workable but rarely effortless.

• Attention Switching

  You appreciate structure and routine but can adapt when necessary, though transitions may require a little more mental adjustment than they seem to cost others. Sudden changes to plans are manageable but not welcome.

• Attention to Detail

  You notice detail more than the average person in areas that interest you, while the broader picture captures your attention in less familiar domains. Your focus can be a real strength when it is pointed at the right thing.

• Communication

  You generally follow conversations well, though certain kinds of figurative language, banter, or ambiguity require a little more active interpretation. You communicate clearly in structured contexts and may find highly informal or irony-heavy exchanges a touch tiring.

• Imagination

  You have a practical, grounded orientation but can engage with fiction and imagination when the topic genuinely interests you. You tend to prefer tangible over speculative, but you are not inflexible — context shapes how imaginative you are willing to be.
