Regarding punctuality I miss the option: “A moral obligation from my side, but I don’t care if others arrive late to an appointment with me”

Only 31% German despite being German. Maybe I'm not German after all.

Didn't suspect getting both is an option

German but probably not autistic. I shall go and celebrate with some Dunkerbier.

YOUR RESULT Both The Wittgenstein Result GERMAN 49% AUTISTIC 40% Been once to Germany, maybe twice. Can't vouch the other.

Honestly, I really want to know what the German options are and the autistic options are.

"Shut up and follow directions unless you know better." is a phrase I think translates very well in all languages. Not German. Not Autism. Just harsh feedback for people that need to hear it once in awhile. Mostly management types.

44% German. Possible. I’m not German, but I’m from nearby and I do have a German surname. „ Your patterns are cultural, not neurological.” - that’s for sure. My neurological ones were so terrible I had to resort outer sources.

I'm not sure how I feel about this, but I liked the writing: > You are difficult to work with in the ways all serious people are difficult to work with. This is not a diagnosis. It is a compliment.

64% autistic 31% German disappointed

I lived in Germany for 10+ years, so unsurprisingly got Both (40/62) as result, although it was slightly frustrating sometimes to pick between answers where none really fit precisely (which in itself is probably a sign too, lol)

58% German 49% Autistic As a German the first part I can follow. Autistic was a bit of a surprise.

78% autistic, 16% German. My ancestry is Dutch which as someone who grew up in the UK feels about 16% German.

Hogwash, this says I'm German but "probably not autistic."

Turns out, I'm more autistic than German. But it should have been expected, as the latter isn't my nationality.

AI slop, absolutely meaningless, don't take it seriously. Btw I tested neither, 30% each; "the controll group". So I am formally authorized to criticise the page as a perfectly normal person.

Feature request: a worldle style share button. E.g. 42%(DE emoji) 20%(Puzzle emoji) Update: I scrolled down. Your share button is pretty good!

It told me I was both German and Autistic? Completely wrong! I am neither German nor Autistic!

47% German, 20% autistic. Too German for my taste, but I have a couple of very German behaviors even though I am Spanish.

60% german, 40% autistic. Seems fair since I'm german and work in IT. The rules question did not have an answer I liked tho.
