How close can we get to objectively measuring NT? - Honest - 17-04-2022
I imagine the best way of going about this would be to first create an archetype of absolute normality, with specific characteristics that can be measured objectively (or, as objectively as possible). To decide an individual's NT levels, their characteristics could be compared to the archetype, and if they stray too far from this archetype, then they would be considered to be non-NT.
I should say that this would not include the use of brain scans or other advanced technologies, as we do not have the technologies for that. But rather, hypothetically at least (idk if anyone could be bothered to do such a thing) we could create some sort of a system for this purpose.

The archetypal traits of absolute normality could perhaps include such things as a positive attitude to socialising... but this would have to be refined. But a problem is that this archetype is malleable to forever changing social attitudes.
*Sighs loudly* I bet something like this had already been created. I'm just wasting my time and I still feel drunk from last night. Ugh. I might as well post anyway since I've typed this all out.

I thought it would be funny concept but I got carried away and now it's just stale.

How close can we get? Or how close can humanity as a whole get?
Anyway, there isn’t much use to testing for being NT. Seeing as neurodivergents branch off in different directions like autism and adhd, testing for these would be far better than testing for the normal - what can you do with that information? You’re still at square one regarding an actual diagnosis.

We. Like the PSL system, but for NT.
And no, there's too many disorders for that to be effective, especially when NT in this context means something different than official terms (being weird is non-NT in PSL terms, but is not diagnosable in official terms).

The nt system has to be made so we can see how much nt point people have👀

And while this wouldn’t be perfect (as NT can be masked by various elements like not having the looks for it or not having the opportunity to socialise) it would be better than trying to get people to analyse their own brain objectively - people can’t even do that with looks, which are literally physical.(17-04-2022, 03:30 PM)insulent Wrote: How close can we get?

it's referential and ever-changing, ffs
and most of the non-nt reactions in social interaction are just a consequence of insufficient smv and social experience, which manifest as sperging out (you simply get socially mogged)
try being "autistic" or "non-nt" with a person you mog in every conceivable way. you'll fail. and vice versa, it's pretty hard to hold ground when interacting with someone superior to you.

I have no nt which is why the normies hate me. I can't talk to normies because they know im not one of them nd that makes them feel uncomfortable and hostile
