Has anybody done any of the Grohol tests, ADD, Depression etc..? if so, how reliable are the answers?

Hi. I took a few of the quizzes. I actually love them. I tested as having absolutely NO symptoms of ADD or an eating disorder. (I didn't think I had those, so I knew I'd be getting get good results). I have been diagnosed with OCD and my OCD quiz on here shows that I likely have OCD. However, any quiz is there to help you and not to worry you. There is a continuum, I think, of ordinary quirks ranging to disorder.

Going by the resource of the quizzes; they're probably more accurate than most!

However, I have had to take these tests myself as a patient; and administer these billion "personality tests" to very individualized patients. They are purely subjective in kind and you find that the "answers/conclusions" CAN BE very "hit-and-miss" in nature Whoever baked up these tests were written widely to the general public (just think about all the different kinds of ppl there are "out there" taking these tests

For those for which they felt beneficial; I say, "Cruise on down the highway; Stay happy!

For those who felt they "really struck out" Good Luck & Welcome to the PC Forums! We're safe as long as you keep your hands & feet away our mouths!

Reflecting..........DAYZEE

They are quite accurate, btw, inspite of the disclaimers. DocJohn knows his stuff when it comes to them and I think researches them well. You can save your test results each time, and then later view all the results and see how you are comparatively.

I score high on those problems I have, and nil on those things I don't have.... Major depression is a biggie for me, too.

feel better.

I scored really high on the depression quiz. Like, 64 I think. 54 is the starting point for severe depression. It was very situational on that particular day, but I would still score pretty high just on average. Chance, like you, my memory and concentration suffer, and I have a hard time making decisions, plus my brain never shuts off long enough for me to get any good sleep. Lack of sleep just compounds everything else.

I started back up on my medication 3 weeks ago after scoring so high on the quiz and, let me tell you, WHAT A DIFFERENCE!! I go to bed and actually sleep. If I start to feel anxious about something, I can talk myself down from it, and no side effects.

Another thing that eased my mind about being on meds is when I asked the pharmacist if he knew of any different side effects between brand and generic, and he said "None of my customers are on brand any more and no one has had a problem with it." This is a small town (pop. 3300), so knowing I'm not the only "looney" around here is another plus.

Some of our systems are just wired differently and we need help to take care of the glitch. Try not to get too hung up on labels.
