It seriously said that anything over 12 "is most likely whacked"? That doesn't sound like a very sensitive quiz for someone who is investigating whether or not they might meet diagnostic criteria for a mental disorder.

Or perhaps is "whacked" your interpretation of what it means to have a diagnosable mental illness?

Try to be easy on yourself about what your behavior may or may not mean. Part of what makes a pattern of behavior "diagnosable" is whether or not it causes impairment in someone's life. For example, if you frequently are late to work because you needed to re-check the garage door or coffee pot, that might be considered as interfering with your daily functioning. But I agree with the others, it's for professionals to decide, should you choose to follow up on it.

Good luck whatever you decide.
