What this autism broad phenotype questionnaire bapq measures
This autism broad phenotype questionnaire bapq estimates self-reported broad autism phenotype signals patterns across four domains. Twenty-two original frequency items group into aloof personality, rigid personality, pragmatic language, detail focus. Each item also maps to a fear-of-intimacy stack layer. A second results chart inspired by FOIS-style intimacy avoidance themes from Descutner and Thelen (1991), adapted to this topic. Your broad autism phenotype index averages these patterns into a 0 to 100 score where higher numbers mean more endorsed broad autism phenotype signals on this screener, not a clinical diagnosis.
