Autism or not, without any establishing priors, you can't confidently say what is happening in a single picture. You can make guesses with varying levels of confidence. That's just logic? So really, the test seems to sort people based on whether they make poor inferences quickly? Sounds like it isn't identifying autism, but people that are shitty at logic.

But perhaps the intent of the test isn't actually to accurately describe what is happening in the picture, but instead to give "vibes." The people at the beach picture gives the "vibes" of vacation because the likelihood of the viewer of the picture to live near is a beach is actually pretty low. Same thing with Stonehenge. Essentially, the (biased) collective unconscious association of Stonehenge with celestial events.

In other words, due to the ambiguity in the test between vibes check vs. a literal, accurate description of the events transpiring in the picture, the people unable see the trees in a forest default to vibes and expect everyone else is like them. It is very "othering" by assuming the vibes check is the default position because a complete lack of thinking rigor being applied.

Anyhow, corporate trainings are a shitty scam given by very unqualified people in a lot of cases.

Peter:

Let me ask you something. When you come in on Monday, and you're not feelin' real well, does anyone ever say to you, 'Sounds like someone has a case of the Mondays'?

O'Brien:

No. No, man. Shit, no, man. I believe you'd get your ass stuck in a transporter buffer sayin' something like that, man.

I do not agree with your assessment of "reality." Only one side is actively against bodily autonomy (especially for women) and wants to look at kids genitals and police which toilet a human shits in. Only one side courts the religious ethnostate fascist where their whole stance is in-group vs. out-group (aka, demonization). Pointing these out isn't demonization, these are facts. If someone likes politicians from that side, the odds are good it does indeed make them suitable for the various negative labels they don't like. The late Dr. Bob Altemeyer studied right wing authoritarianism (both the leaders and followers) and even developed a rubric that would predict right wing authoritarian followers. They are dangerous because they eschew reason for vibes and are extremely susceptible to demagogues.

Give this a read and see if it changes your opinion on "both sides"

She could have worked for a franchisee, too. If that was the case, a SMB owner is definitely not going to have those records after all this time

Mozilla corp is trash and deserves to fail. The non-profit Mozilla however, can remain and steward Firefox and friends just fine.

Why is work so important for you? I think you'll find that a large number of people simply go through the motions because the stakes are low and their lives outside of work are more interesting. To them, it is an exchange of labor (that isn't valued anyway) for (not enough) money. Why push yourself at work when it simply doesn't matter? And what will drive you nuts later is that people from that "lazy" group will eventually end up promoted over you. The work is ultimately inconsequential, but the relationships built matter.

I don't really have an answer for you other than to introspect a little bit on your work ethic.
