I scored a 67. I was surprised it said that it thought I was in general good mental health.

I don't really feel like I am.

I do have a nasty case of major depressive disorder and a really awful case of PTSD from some awful abuse stuff I went through.

What do higher numbers mean?

Hello Calico_91: Whenever I've taken the Sanity test, I've always felt I scored better than I felt as well. I haven't taken it in some time now. Personally I don't put much stock in it. It's curious to see how it turns out. But I don't consider it to be anything to get excited about either for good or for concern. I think that, in general, the higher a person's scores the more difficulty the person may be having in that particular area... Beyond that... I don't know. Like I said... I don't put a lot of stock in the test one way or the other.

I use it as an interesting data point and not much else.

I am not and will not be in a relationship and I have no drug or alcohol abuse issues, I am not bipolar so no matter how bad my depression/psychosis/anxiety is I won't ever get much higher than 135. I have been close to needing to be committed but never got over 135.
