I also am socially competent when I choose to be and feel neurotypical, but scored a 30 the first time, 27 when I took it the next day (the first time was the day after I had last socialized, the second was the second day after I had last socialized).
I scored really high, and I imagine that this is because I am highly focused and dedicated to my subject area, like studying more than (most) people, and hate having my routine disrupted. But if you put me in a party, I’ll hold my own. I’ll either find the other person at the party who will take the bait and talk Bayesian, or I’ll find some cognition altering substance to make it the time feel worthwhile.
We do strangely agree about the understanding of social cues, but not so much the producing of the appropriate cues. Maybe that’s just coincidental though.

Or both. That’s when things get most awesome!
