My thoughts on the Sanity Score are that mine fit me pretty well. However, it disclaims it is not a substitute for a true professional diagnosis, so take it as you will. I think it's great if your already curious about seeing your doctor about a mental problem you can't quite pin down. You can just say, "Hey, your the professional so this maybe bunk, but I've been feeling really anxious lately and this online indicator says ask about general anxiety." In my case I'm already dealing with social phobia and I wanted to gauge how severe. The test is just a rough guide, not to diagnose. If a person has a suspicion it might be accurate see a professional to confirm or not. If a person takes the test and it sounds nothing like you than okay, it's not meant to be taken as 100% accurate truth.

I just like the test because it's the most detailed free all encompassing psych evaluation I've come across. Use it for fun or a loose guide of questions to pose to your physician, just take it lightly. I'm due to see a doctor about my social phobia and judging that the test says my anxiety is still high even on my SRI I am going to ask about dose adjustments or a change of meds and ask about counselling in my area. I was going to ask my doctor these things anyway but when I found the quiz it was nice to lend some credit to my suspicions.
