Am I Manic? Quiz - Psych Central

I just took this mania quiz, but I based it on my experiences right before getting to my full dose of lamictal, as since then the symptoms have mellowed down a bit.

I scored a "39" which means I was "moderately to severely manic."
The funny part is, I really didn't notice all that much, because this is pretty much my normal state, or at least the most common state I stay in. (I thought I was depressed, but actually I was hyper-irritable, which is a sign of mania)
I can't believe I have been so stable and functional throughout my life, I guess I have learned to live with my mania.

Hello, pawn78. Have you discussed the quiz results with your psychiatrist?

I just took the quiz today. So, obviously, no. But, yes, we discuss my symptoms an hour each month. Your generic response is really not very helpful.

*claps*

I tend to always score fairly high on the mania quiz, even when I'm not manic! Maybe I'm just naturally high energy? Or maybe I just always think I'm awesome... yeah I'll go with that.
Thanks for this!

25 today; not manic at all really, though the quiz labels it "mild-moderate mania". I've taken this quiz several different times in different mood states. Lowest I've ever scored was a 15 (though I've never taken it severely depressed, so might be lower), highest I've scored was a 57, at which point I was very manic or mixed.
