This is one of a series of discussion posts based on questions from the AQ-10 autism test.

9. I like to collect information about categories of things.

  • Definitely Agree
  • Slightly Agree
  • Slightly Disagree
  • Definitely Disagree

Is this statement true for you? Can you think of any examples? Is it an easy or difficult question for you to answer?

You can take the full AQ-10 test here. Note this test is intended as a quick screener, and cannot diagnose or rule out any condition on its own.

This question amuses me because if you was going to take it completely literally, which seems like a reasonable approach for someone that is autistic, then you would read this as do you collect information and store it in some way such as files on the computer or a database. Which no, I don't do that. But I do like to learn about lots of different things.

It's funny, both you and @PancakeLegend@mander.xyz were careful to avoid over-literal interpretations (unlike me haha), but still you came to quite different understandings. You - "yes, I have a broad interest in learning". Pancake - "yes, I am systematic with information"
