Table 1.

The AQ-scores of the participants in the three experiments

	Range	Mean/SD	Low	Intermediate	High
Experiment 1	8–27	16.3/4.8	23	9	—
Experiment 2	9–28	17.4/5.5	21	11	—
Experiment 3	7–36	15.8/6.2	24	7	1
Baron-Cohen	5–37	16.4/6.5	119	51	4

The second column shows the range of the scores in each experiment, and the third column shows the mean AQ-scores and standard deviations. The third, fourth, and fifth columns show how many of the participants in each experiment fell into the ranges in which few autistic traits were present (low), the range in which some autistic traits are present (intermediate, AQ-scores of 20+), and in the range that indicates autistic traits in a similar extent as in individuals with clinical diagnoses of autism (high, AQ-scores of 32+). Ranges were defined according to Baron-Cohen and colleagues (2001). The last row shows the corresponding data for the non-clinical control group tested in the original publication (Baron-Cohen et al., 2001).
