Not that I know, sry. I just remember it from one if the articles back when I still studied psychology, but I was never big on the romantic topics (for, in retrospect, obvious reasons), so I never took it myself...

There are some well researched ones, like the Attraction Questionnaire. Plus there's tons of studies on romance, using tests. Sadly most of them are not really open to the public, or, if they are their scoring system isn't made public as they usually require a test analyst. A lack of romantic attraction however, is still way understudied... which is why being aro just results in low scores and isn't overly classified =\

26 here. Also concerned about the whole friends married thing and very interested in some positive life stories from the 25+ members =)

Sure, but you could still be in the healthy zone. Under this test you can be pathological and still not score over 120. Liking kittens and being a stalker don't cancel out after all All psychological tests hide more than one trait in a test scale, because behavior or feelings are not one-dimensional (as represented in all those questions and groups). They even include false positives or "liar" detection questions to determine the truthfulness of the person, answering the questions. Some items get more "points" than others and items are usually tested to see if they really measure, what they are supposed to. Which happens way less than one might think, actually Long blabla short: This test measures something, but it still has a long way to go. =) (also still creppy - not love in general, just some of the items make the hair of my neck stand up xD)

True, but every item on the list scores you one point. You could, theoretically, hit all the creep-tastic ones without being 120 or more. As far as psychological test's go, this one is not all that great because it makes little to no distinctions. It measures something alright, but it still has a long way to go.

Yes but, points like these: 25. Do I become more obsessive, the less response I get? 170. Once my passion for _____ has passed, do I feel an irrational urge to inflict pain, hurt, and harm on him/her? 156. Have I sometimes threatened to kill someone else if I did not get my romantic dream? Are legit scary, no matter the cancellation effect, since they involve outsiders and not-interested parties...I guess those are extremes, but they are still creepy.

I got an 8..... This is seriously scary. If I didn't consider it something natural, I'd say that sounds like addiction and withdrawal symptoms... Is this srsly how love feels? This is frightful.

This is less about being aro and more about being agender, but those two are really very intertwined for me. Since I don't see myself as a certain gender, I don't see others as certain genders. Does that apply to some of you a- or genderflux people out there, too? I also remember always disliking kids and babys xD" The idea of marriage seemed to be a weird concept. I always admired couples, who were more like live-in friends without any children, who never got married(early aro dreams showing? ). Other than that I simple never cared. A friend of mine used to make up guys she could date and pretended they were real( 4th or 5th grade). Wrote letters and all to convince me and I just pretended with her, because it seemed like a fun game. She even created one for me and I just played along, because why not. It didn't really mean anything anyway and she seemed to have fun That was it though. I knew of the concept, but I never really felt pressured to enter a relationship during my school years, so I simple watched my friends being all conscious about it. Like the pretend letter-game, it just never seemed like something that really, truly involved me. They had their little games and I just pretended with them. Which is probably why it took so long for me to figure out that I really need to define myself and figure out that I'm Aro =\
