No self report quiz is going to be completely accurate. Psychological assessments rely on more than just those. Anyways, there are some self report tests that actually are made by psychologists and are available online. They aren’t diagnostic by themselves, but are often used in diagnoses. For examples, the Autism Quotient and the Raven’s Progressive Matrices ( a cognitive ability test) are both available online. However the Raven’s test was normed on 1930s adults rather than modern so any result you get needs to be taken with a grain of salt. Modern adults would measure higher on this cognitive ability for multiple reasons, resulting in higher thresholds for the same percentiles. Rule of thumb: if the test is only 10 questions long and doesn’t mention an “official” sounding name in its title, it is just for fun and games. Real psychological screens all have official names. This is so psychologists can say “I administered the XYZ test and the score is in the established range of …” rather than “I came up with some questions that I feel are relevant to what I’m trying to measure… I was satisfied that the answers to a,b,c indicate a problem with….but I have nothing to compare the result to.”. I personally know people who think they have a MENSA level IQ because they took some online “IQ test” designed by a web developer for the sole purpose of showing ads or getting people to pay for their “result”.
