    Scoring

    Since there are 75 items on the SQ–R and each can be scored with a maximum
    of 2 points, the maximum score on the instrument is 150, and the minimum is 0.
    Any score above 75 is indicative of autism.

     Scoring range: 0–150


     Threshold score: 75↑

    On the following 39 items, ‘strongly agree’ responses score 2 points, and ‘slightly
    agree’ responses score 1 point:
    1, 2, 4, 5, 7, 9, 11, 12, 13, 14, 16, 18, 19, 20, 21, 23, 25, 27, 29, 30, 32, 36, 38, 41, 42, 43, 46, 50, 53, 55, 60, 61, 62, 66, 68, 69, 72, 74 and 75.

    On the following 36 items, ‘strongly disagree’ responses score 2 points and


    ‘slightly disagree’ responses score 1 point:
    3, 6, 8, 10, 15, 17, 22, 24, 26, 28, 31, 33, 34, 35, 37, 39, 40, 44, 45, 47, 48, 49, 51, 52, 54, 56, 57, 58, 59, 63, 64, 65, 67, 70, 71 and 73.

    Average scores
    In the graph below, you can see how autistic (blue) and non-autistic (tan) men
    (dashed lines) and women (solid lines) score on the SQ–R, based on research
    by Simon Baron-Cohen et al. from 2014.[2]
    The distributions of Systemizing Quotient–Revised (SQ–R) scores by the four groups: males
    and females with and without autism spectrum conditions. (Credit: Attenuation of Typical Sex
    Differences in 800 Adults with Autism vs. 3,900 Controls)

    In the table below, you can see the mean scores of autistic people and neurotypicals
    on the SQ–R, based on research by Sally Wheelwright et al. from 2006.[3]

    SQ–R mean scores

    Group Male Female


    Autistic 77.8 76.4
    Neurotypical 61.2 51.7

    On the results page of the Systemizing Quotient on the Aspie Tests website, you
    will also see a table with average scores.[4] Although these scores approximate the
    results from the table above, do note that the neurotypical scores are inflated. The
    reason is that some people that take the test assume and report that they are non-
    autistic, whereas their results do indicate autism. Although the table on the results
    page is subject to change as new results come in, we have reproduced the results as
    of 2 November, 2021 in the table below.

    SQ average scores

    Group Male Female


    Autistic 80.6 77.4

    Suspected autistic 80.5 74.6

    Neurotypical 69.7 62.4
