The questions on bipolar quizzes always seem so general to me. They seem like they would apply to most people. I feel like I would have to be a robot -- with no variety in my moods or energy or levels of creativity -- in order to get a low score. For instance, I've been a designer and writer for over 10 years. Sometimes I hit creative blocks and other times I get a good idea that inspires me and I get some great work done. When I'm on a roll with a design project or writing an article, I do stay up later because I'm in that creative headspace. I also do my best work at night because there are no distractions (no ringing phones or other interruptions). I don't want to drop something in the middle because I'm on a roll and want to get it finished. I feel tired the next morning from lack of sleep, but I'm pleased with the creative accomplishment. Is that a sign of dysfunction? I always thought it was a normal, human thing to have good moods and bad moods, bursts of creativity and the occasional frustration of creative blocks. Bipolar quizzes signify I need professional help, though.
I know I have a problem with anxiety and depression and I'm being treated for those, but I don't believe I'm bipolar. I think I'm going to stop taking quizzes.

Hehe you are SO on my level lady!
My talents are more on the creative thinking side too (although more communications / marketing / business strategy side - there is some logic there but it's quite lateral and the ability to pull together the big picture).
If I get on a roll and really enjoy what I'm doing I will happily work till 3am. I am an owl rather than a lark anyway - I already persuaded my boss to let me start and finish later because I get more work done. I have some glide time sort of thing going now :>
If I went to bed at 11 or 12 and I stopped working and I got up at 7am and started again I don't think I would hold everything in my head till then.
I must also admit that part of my intensive working sessions used to be (not so much now as I'm busy ALL the time) because inherently I'm quite lazy - I work well under pressure and to deadlines, but I can be slack if I have nothing pressing to do.
I also have 'blocks' - more so when i feel blah though.
