Am I German or Autistic?

Overall reactions to the test

• Many find the quiz very funny, well‑written, and oddly insightful, especially the result blurbs (e.g., “Wittgenstein Result,” “control group”).
• Others dismiss it as “AI slop,” “meaningless,” or unserious pseudo‑diagnostics.
• Several note frustration that many questions lack an answer that fits them well or allow multiple simultaneously true answers.

Reported results and interpretations

• People share a wide spread of scores: “German,” “Autistic,” “Both,” and “Neither,” often comparing them to their actual nationality and self‑image.
• Quite a few Germans and Austrians score only moderately “German,” or even “Neither,” and joke about their identity.
• Many tech‑adjacent posters report “Both,” recognizing themselves in the description of systematic, rule‑focused, easily‑irritated thinkers.
• Some use age or “IDGAF” as an explanation for lower scores vs. how they think they’d have scored when younger.

Punctuality, rules, and cultural norms

• Long subthread on punctuality: some see it as a moral duty for themselves but are lenient with others; others use buffers (10–15 minutes early) to almost never be late.
• Several detailed anecdotes illustrate chronic lateness, time‑estimation problems, and “optimizing the wrong things” (e.g., fuel cost vs. reliability).
• Debate over whether German punctuality is real; experiences with Deutsche Bahn’s delays and cancellations prompt comparisons with Swiss, UK, French, Italian, and US trains.
• Broader reflections on differing national attitudes toward being “on time,” small talk, rules, and flexibility of plans.

Autism, traits, and validity of the quiz

• Multiple commenters stress the quiz is not a real autism diagnostic and does not follow DSM procedures.
• Some autistic or suspected‑autistic readers find specific questions and descriptions (e.g., visceral pain from data‑heavy interruptions, literalness, hatred of ambiguity) very relatable.
• Others criticize conflating “caring about doing things well” or “systematic thinking” with autism.

Meta: stereotypes, philosophy, and possible agenda

• Several call out reliance on crude German stereotypes; others note large regional and generational variation within Germany/Austria.
• One commenter argues the site is effectively far‑right / neo‑Nazi propaganda based on the philosopher lineup being heavily Nazi‑aligned; this is not substantially debated in depth in the thread.
• Some note that the more interesting “test” is how people react to the quiz itself.
