Neurodivergence Self-Test — How does your brain tick?

Alex Karp, CEO of Palantir, argued in a CNBC interview that long-term, two groups will remain least replaceable by AI — people with solid vocational training and people who perceive differently. You don't need to share the sharpness of the claim. The observation behind it is still interesting.

What language models do well is pattern recognition at the median. What they struggle with: sensory depth, hyperfocus on the seemingly irrelevant, breaking established thought paths, intuitive irony detection. Broadly speaking, these are the traits this test makes visible.

The test sorts your self-perception. If you lead a team or own a product, it also sorts which strengths are currently dormant in your environment.

The questions draw from established self-assessment instruments — ASRS v1.1 (WHO, ADHD), AQ-10 by Simon Baron-Cohen (autistic traits), HSPS by Elaine Aron (high sensitivity), and common adult screenings for dyslexia and dyscalculia. They have been reworded for this audience and are not a clinical instrument.

arocom has been building digital platforms since 2012. Since the European Accessibility Act (EAA) and Germany's BFSG took effect in 2025, many companies must make digital offerings accessible according to WCAG 2.1 AA.

The debate usually revolves around screen readers, contrast, and alt text. The largest overlooked target group are people who process cognitively differently — around 15–20% of users. For them, clear language, reduced stimuli, and predictable navigation are not optional; they are the prerequisite to use your platform at all.

We build websites around these principles not because a standard requires it, but because these users spend their days with us. This self-test is our invitation — for you as a user, as a decision-maker, as a human.
