If a person takes the 200-question dissociation test and comes out with a score of 40, how likely is it that they have DID?

I currently have a diagnosis of C-PTSD and GAD, but have had problems with dissociation and several parts. I have suspected that I may have DID, but have doubted it, mainly due to the fact that I am high functioning and co-conscious.

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....)

Wasn't really certain that there was a specific test, didn't your dr discuss the results with you?

Here's the catch on that... you can only answer on the test what you know about yourself. (since it can't look inside your head for you )
So, take me for instance - i'm really high on the co-conscious scale, so I scored really super high on it; but T mentioned that back when I first started therapy I likely wouldn't have because I was still so swamped in dissociation that I didn't even know I was dissociative.
Make sense?
