Posting my result here in case you want to see the different results without redoing the test:

    German 47% - Autistic 47%
    
    Wittgenstein was Austrian, which is close enough. He was also, by most accounts, someone whose relationship to social convention was at best functional and at worst a     source of significant suffering to himself and everyone around him.
    
    He rewrote philosophy twice. The first time by establishing what could be said with precision. The second time by dismantling the assumption that precision was the     right goal in the first place. Both versions emerged from the same source: an absolute refusal to accept confusion as a resting state.
    
    You have, apparently, both the cultural formation that produces systematic people and the neurological substrate that makes systematic thinking feel like breathing.     This is either a significant advantage or an explanation for certain recurring difficulties in your life. Probably both.
    
    Schopenhauer also fits here. So does Ramanujan, though he wasn't German. The category isn't German or autistic — it's people for whom the gap between how things are     and how they ought to be is not an abstraction but a constant, low-grade irritation.

Share blurb:

    I took the German or Autistic diagnostic. Result: Both. The Wittgenstein Result. I don't know whether to be proud or concerned. https://german.millermanschool.com/


Yea same, at roughly 40/40, and this little bit does really ring true for me:

> the gap between how things are and how they ought to be is not an abstraction but a constant, low-grade irritation


I got the very same 47/47. What if it's always giving that?

Might just be that a lot of people on HN skew that way. Kinda makes sense.

I got 47/62.


I got 43% Ger 47% Aut

I assume that the 10% is I dont really care.


It's not, I'm 36/44.


It would be factually incorrect.


Neither Somehow.

German 29%, Autistic 22%
