I had a little free time and decided to spend it by taking the test. I scored 17 points. However as I was going through the test I noticed that some of the questions were unfounded. I ignored the first ones but after a while I decided to write some down.
"20. Somebody has been trying to harm me in some way." If someone has a grudge against me, how does that make me any less or more sane? "21. I recently experienced the loss of a close relationship or a divorce." As with the last one, how does such an external event have to do anything with how sane you are? It`s more a matter of how you actually deal with it, not with whether or not it happens. "31. I recently lost my job." Well, you can always find a new one. I imagine that this might temporarily lessen your mood, but should it really add to your score? I`d say that like the previous one, what actually matter is how you deal with it. "51. I have many friends." So whether you have alot of friends or not affects how sane you are? What if where you live there aren`t any good friends to have? What if you are more mature than your peers and because of that you simply do not form friendships with the type of people that you usually come in contact with in your everyday life? What if you are old and at a point where most of your friends have either walked their own path or died by then? Does that really make you less sane? "70. Sometimes I say or do things that later I don't remember." I`ve heard of a few anomalous people who have total recall, they can remember every single thing that happened and every word they have ever said. Or so they claim. But normal people have something called a "primary memory" where after enough time unnecessary information is simply deleted after some time. People forget things. How is this related to sanity?

"20. Somebody has been trying to harm me in some way."
Paranoid Schizophrenics always feel this way. "21. I recently experienced the loss of a close relationship or a divorce." Divorce can be extremely straining on mental health do to over all costs and what leads to the divorce can be straining too "31. I recently lost my job." It's not that easy to find a job now adays, it could lead to the snap of depression if the situation was already going down hill "51. I have many friends." It doesn't really matter, I think it's for the shutting in part of it. Reason ''a few close ones'' is there. "70. Sometimes I say or do things that later I don't remember." Dissociation or D.I.D. can cause the extreme of this. |

A Sanity Score of 17 is really good. Congratulations. If you were wondering, lower is better.
