我们探索了由AQ测量的“自闭症”特征之间的关系（自闭症谱系商; Baron-Cohen等人，J.自闭症发展。混乱。（2001 b）31 5）和各种人格特质或认知能力，这通常与自闭症症状相吻合，为一般人群。结果表明，AQ与TCI（气质和性格量表）定义的强迫性人格倾向，更高的抑郁和焦虑以及更高的被欺负经历频率相关。这些结果与自闭症的模式相一致，并证实了AQ对一般人群的有效性。然而，与我们的预测相反，AQ和认知能力（如心理理论、执行功能和中央连贯性）之间没有关系，这表明AQ并不能反映一般人群中自闭症特异性的认知模式。
We explored the relationships between 'autistic' traits as measured by the AQ (Autism-Spectrum Quotient; Baron-Cohen et al., J. Autism Develop. Disord. (2001b) 31 5) and various personality traits or cognitive ability, which usually coincide with autistic symptoms, for general populations. Results showed the AQ was associated with tendencies toward an obsessional personality as defined by the TCI (Temperament and Character Inventory), higher depression and anxiety, and higher frequency of experience of being bullied. These results parallel the patterns in autism and corroborate the validity of the AQ for general populations. Contrary to our prediction, however, there was no relationship between the AQ and cognitive ability, such as theory of mind, executive functioning, and central coherence, suggesting the AQ does not reflect autism-specific cognitive patterns in general populations.
