Theory of Mind Test online
As far as I know, there are no online tests of Theory of Mind, so I decided to make one. It's available here.
Theory of Mind is basically the idea that other people have minds and that people, in interaction with each other, will try to figure out what other people are thinking and manipulate those thoughts by what they say. For example, they may decide to lie in order to cause another person to believe something that isn't true.
One major theory in autism research is that autistic people have difficulty with theory of mind. They may completely lack any idea that other people have thoughts, or they may be slow to learn this and have difficulty figuring out how this works.
This test is a multiple-choice version of the Strange Stories test, a relatively advanced theory of mind test designed for older adolescents or adults on the autistic spectrum. You can administer it to younger children, but be aware that even NT kids may score in the impaired range if they are 8 years old or younger. You can either answer the questions yourself or get your child to answer them by reading the question and answers to them.
