Rhythm Gaming/ASD Correlation?
 

Note: Since OWA didn't actually include any edit to this post when he split off the thread, and made me look like a jerk who just posted "Hey, so I bet everyone who plays FFR is autistic" please note that this thread was split off the thread about a mother of an autistic child receiving an angry letter, and in that thread a bunch of people mentioned that they had various kinds of ASD which caused me to wonder about a correlation.

I wonder if there's a significant correlation between Rhythm game players and ASDs

If there is, I'll feel even worse, because I'm so godawful at FFR

Re: Tell me your life story.
 

I actually think the correlation between rhythm game players and ASDs would be lower than what you'd find on other forums, because there is a real-life social component (arcades)

the correlation between this and ASD that you're probably seeing is between internet forums and ASDs. internet forums in general seem appealing to people with that way of thinking.

also, side note but there is an ENORMOUS correlation between internet forum posters and INTJs. which is to say, if you give an MBTI to any given internet forum, unless it's something really specific that would cause more ENTPs (hi) or INTPs to show up it will probably be something like 50% INTJ and 50% everything else

I would suspect there is a correlation between people in the INTJ category (or, if you hate mbti, traits that mirrror this) and people with ASDs so that's very possibly what you're seeing

Re: Tell me your life story.
 

I would say that INTPs are more frequent than INTJs in forums like this I believe, but people in the INTJ/INTP categories (I'm INTJ myself) certainly make up the majority of people in the forums

ASD/INTP, what now stats?

I'm an outlier here on the autism thing

http://www.wired.com/wired/archive/9.12/aqtest.html

higher is more autistic. an AQ score for likely autism is 32+, the average person's is 16.5, mine is ... 10.

if anyone has a similar score to mine, let me know; I'd like to see how this manifests in forum personalities

Re: Tell me your life story.
 

25 for me heh. Though for most of them, I didn't really have a strong opinion on a lot of them so I defaulted to "Slightly Agree" for those.

I'm sure the score is also influenced on personal upbringing, i.e someone who grew up without having a lot of social interaction from homeschooling or something.

Re: Tell me your life story.
 

I just scored a 41

Re: Tell me your life story.
 

18, so I guess I am within the average.

ps it's probably a little off topic at this point, you should probably make another thread lol

Re: Rhythm Gaming/ASD Correlation?
 

Sectioned this discussion off to a new thread. Would've moved to CT but I imagine several people here are just going to post their test score and leave without adding much/anything to the discussion. If that's not the case though, I'll move it to that subforum.

Re: Rhythm Gaming/ASD Correlation?
 

If you guys would like to take a trip down the rabbit hole (TGB), I started a thread there relating to the aspergers and autism test here.
