It's too much pressure, Fuzz. The level of your, my ,our sanity being determined by a seemingly simple set of questions. It lulls you into a false sence of security until, Zappo! You get a high score and it tells you that you're insane!!!!!! Ohhhhhhh NOOOOOOOOO!!! well......
(((((((Fuzzy))))))))) Must take the quiz over again. Must be sane.
Fuzz, if you're insane then I want to go along for the ride, okay? You're fine. It probably fluctuates day to day anyway like someone else had suggested. well...... Don't worry about it.

Well we don't have any info about the statistical validity / reliability - e.g. test-retest reliability ...

I think DocJohn has pointed out that it's an indicator ONLY?

I don't like things like this so I am not gonna do it ... but I can see it may be useful to give some broad idea of potential issues (yes I poked around some of the questions).

It is what it is though ... remember the dangers of self-diagnosis (even though I know it is difficult to keep that in the back of your mind usually).

I'm not even manic! I don't even think I'm bipolar! What? What? All I can say is that the depression score was dead on. At least, that is according to me. (My mother thinks I'm totally fine, just going through a little teen moodiness. I know better.)

It appears as though the test has reliability as I originally scored a 44 and now I scored a 45. But as I said elsewhere I wish the questions had differentiated between pre-treated states and my current treated symptoms.
