CLEAR ANSWERS TO COMMON QUESTIONS

Frequently Asked Questions

Any questions left?

What does this questionnaire measure?

It measures the tendency to notice patterns and prefer rule-based, predictable systems. It reflects how strongly a person uses analysis and structure to understand and manage complexity.

How long does it take and how many items are included?

Completion typically takes about 14 minutes. The questionnaire includes 75 items.

How should responses be selected?

Choose the option that best matches typical behavior and preferences, not a single unusual event. Avoid overthinking and answer consistently across items.

Can the results diagnose autism or any other condition?

No, results are not diagnostic and cannot confirm or rule out any clinical condition. The questionnaire is used in research and screening contexts to describe cognitive style.

How should scores be interpreted?

Higher scores indicate a stronger preference for system-based, rule-guided thinking; lower scores indicate a weaker preference for that approach. Scores describe tendencies and do not measure ability, intelligence, or overall functioning.

WHAT THE TEST MEASURES

About This Assessment

Systemizing Quotient-Revised (SQ-R) Test

autism

This self-report measure assesses individual differences in the tendency to analyze, organize, and understand information in terms of rules, patterns, and structured systems. Systemizing Quotient-Revised (SQ-R) asks respondents to rate preferences and behaviors in situations where logic, predictability, and systematic thinking are salient.

The instrument includes 75 items and typically takes about 14 minutes to complete. Scores are generally interpreted dimensionally as an index of systemizing traits; results may be useful in research and clinical contexts to describe cognitive style, but they are not intended to serve as a standalone diagnostic tool. A version is referenced by psytests.org (2023).

Systemizing Quotient-Revised (SQ-R) has been used in studies examining individual differences relevant to autism research, where higher systemizing tendencies may be observed in some groups. Interpretation should consider the respondent’s context and be integrated with other assessment data when used clinically.
