Anyone know? My number is rather high and I took the test when I was feeling rather "good!"

At what point should one be concerned?

(could have sworn I already asked this question, too...)

Ok then, what is the highest possible "score" someone can get - 200? 300?

Anyone know?

I wonder then, if halfway would be considered averagely insane? If it is, then I guess I ain't too bad?

Hey, AlteredState, what about the half full/half empty glass? Why aren't you averagely sane?

No problem! So what number tips the scales? I'm not exactly sure what score you have to get for the passage at the top of the results screen to change, but if it helps I've had scores in the 30s, 40s and 50s and these are what I got:

35:
</font><blockquote><div id="quote"><font class="small">Quote:</font>
Based upon your answers, you appear to be in good mental health. Congratulations! You may experience specific mental health concerns, relationship issues, or other issues that come up from time to time in your life, but your overall mental health score suggests that you deal with these well. People with similar scores are more resilient than most people, handle stress appropriately, have good relationships with others, and are able to cope with the in's and out's of everyday life with grace and ease.

</div></font></blockquote><font class="post">

43:
</font><blockquote><div id="quote"><font class="small">Quote:</font>

</div></font></blockquote><font class="post">

51:
</font><blockquote><div id="quote"><font class="small">Quote:</font>
Based upon your answers, you appear to be in generally good mental health, with some specific concerns or issues in your life. Most people have such issues to varying degrees -- some seek outside help for them from a mental health professional like a psychologist, psychiatrist or psychotherapist, while others are happy with the way things are in their life. People with similar scores sometimes feel overwhelmed by the occasional stress in life, but usually recover and are fairly resilient.

</div></font></blockquote><font class="post">

Looks like 50 is a tipping point...maybe the others are 100, 150 and 200? So what number tips the scales?

Well, that wouldn't be much fun!! Actually, it's interesting that I never, ever think that way.

I'm a little concerned about the number thing. Mine was quite high, yet it is how I feel "on the average." So what number tips the scales?

Oh yuck, I should have never took the test. Now I'm gonna freak out about it.

Yes, I think you did ask those questions in the original Sanity Score thread??? But that's ok with me So what number tips the scales?

I scored a 100 on the physical... of course! I'm disabled due to an "accident" and my problems (emotional and physical) stem from that.

Why not post your results, and let's look at each score in each area with you? (only if you're comfortable with that)
