Most people seemt o be quite pleased with their results/find them accurate or enlightening, mine seems to be rather ridiculous though
 I got 150 and scored high for ocd, which i do not have, a high score for eds, whcih i'm pretty sure i dont have a problem with, a very high score for schizophrenia whcih again i'm pretty sure i dont have and various other things whcih arent problems as far as I am aware. however it did score me highly for bipolar which is to be expected and high for anxiety which i realise may be an issue. On the plus side it was highly entertaining whcih was the only reason i actually took it anyway. And it sorted out a few of my hypochondriac friends who seem convinced they are seriosuly ill, but scored a lot lower than me menaing i could use myself as a comparison as i am clearly not that insane

Hi, mileoohlala, welcome to PsychCentral. It's a "self-scored" test so you did it to yourself
 The eds could be based on if you are over/underweight based on your height; I know I score higher there and I don't have a specific disorder but I am morbidly obese. My weight is an "issue" just not one that I'm worried about at the moment. OCD is an anxiety disorder so maybe some of your anxiety you feel you might experience has some classic OCD overtones. Since it's self-reported, the test isn't any good at being "official" but can be interesting to share with a mental health professional, to discuss if anything puzzles or worries you about your scores.

Thankyou
 And yes I realise its all my own perspective, my friends say i am in denial about a few things but I really dont think its half as bad as the quiz makes out. Suprisingly my BMI score is apparently normal. however i have lost a lot of weight recently and am continuing to do so. A fact that does not worry me since i would quite like to fit into my old clothes again Havign just spoken/laughed to several friends though about my reuslts, they dont seem to find it that funny, apparently my eating habits are far from normal. It doesnt really cause me distress though. As for the rest of it, I'll mention the parts that could possibly be worrying at my next meeting i guess. Again thankyou

Okay so I have retaken the quiz now that I ma less manic and its actually tuned out a liuttle higher, 167. My ED is now at 100. I have actually spoken to my gf, my best friend and another friend about it and they all reckon I have/am developing bulima. :/ I'm still not so sure but they;ve convinced me its enough of a concern to speak to my SW.

Glad you will talk to your SW about it! It is a good rule of thumb that if "everyone" else thinks something, there might be something to it :-) I know one isn't supposed to jump off cliffs if everyone else does but. . . I've never known a situation where everyone was jumping off cliffs! So, that's a bit of a dumb example.

Thanks
You're quite right sometimes that phrase is irrelevant

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
