I find the use of the word "sanity" in the title of the quiz rather odd. It cheapens it. First of all, I don't think there are any insane people here on PC. Some of us may call ourselves crazy, most of us have disorders that we're dealing with, but we're not insane.

I would think that a person who truly is insane wouldn't WONDER if they're insane and wouldn't take a quiz. Don't insane people think they're perfectly normal? If someone is asking if they're insane, it probably means they're not. What is the definition of insanity anyway?

Someone who gets a very high score on this quiz isn't insane. They may have disorders like PTSD or clinical depression, but they're not insane. So, I don't like the title of the quiz. I guess it's catchy from a marketing point of view, but I think it's inappropriate. I used to work in advertising. It sounds like something that we might have come up with in a brainstorming session. It's short and alliteration can make a product name more memorable.

Mental Health Score doesn't roll off the tongue in the same way, but IMO it would make more sense in the context of this quiz.
