They may *feel* insulted, but they may not have actually *been* insulted. Very simple. The premise, that is.

The fact that I actually thought of the CSS to zebra-stripe the table whilst I was completing it is probably a bad sign, but I scored 11. I find tests like this are always useless for me because I can't help but work out what the question is really asking before I answer, which probably renders my answer pointless. b. -- <bas(a)bas.me.uk> <URL:http://bas.me.uk/> `Zombies are defined by behavior and can be "explained" by many handy shortcuts: the supernatural, radiation, a virus, space visitors, secret weapons, a Harvard education and so on.' -- Roger Ebert

I wondered about that when doing it as well - wouldn't an autistically-inclined person be more likely to want to "understand" the test than to get a true score? Wouldn't they want to give the "right" answers, whether they considered "right" to be the highest or lowest score, thus giving themselves very extreme and inaccurate results? Anyway, I'm sure you remember your teacher telling you "you're only cheating yourself". I tried to give honest answers as I was interested in what the test thought those honest answers meant. -z- -- email: nettid1 at fastmail dot fm
