that depends on other parts of the testing process along with the 200 question testing.....in short testing for dissociative disorders is not dependant upon filling in, markings on a questionaire alone. if done alone it only tells you where you were at.....at the moment...you took the test. it does not predict long term such as diagnosis of a dissociative disorder. most people who take questionaire tests alone actually do not have a dissociative disorder. it just leads them to believe they do because other components of the testing process is not included in the questionaire.

if you think you may have a dissociative disorder contact a treatment provider. they will be able to get you in for the full testing process (medical and psychological testing process that includes face to face interviews with a treatment provider, oral and written tests, medical tests to rule in or out medical problems that share the same symptoms....)
