72 ...and if I didn't fail the question about being physically attracted to giraffes...I'm sure I would have cracked under 50 .
I can never work out how to answer these things . Do I answer as in what I'm like at work , what I'm like when I have to socialize or what I'm like when I'm home ..as I'm three different people with different emotions at those times . I think a lot of people are .
Anyway , the men in white coats wont be hearing the alarm ringing with that score .

Thanks for sharing your score. Several years ago, now, I pestered the therapist I was seeing at the time into giving me some sort of test that, I naively thought, might suggest what was actually going on with me. (I still don't have anything even approaching a diagnosis that I know of.) Anyway... she gave me some test to complete. I don't recall what it was now.

When my therapist scored the test, mostly what it suggested was that I had depression & anxiety... do tell... But the thing is... the majority of the questions on the test dealt with how I handled relationships with family members, friends & co-workers. Well... yes I am married. But I have no extended family, no friends & I haven't been employed in 20 years. So I just answered the questions based on how I thought I might react. The whole thing ended up being kind-of pointless. Anyway... yes... I think you raise a good point here. I personally don't take any of these sorts of tests too seriously.

That's so true Skeez . It's difficult to set questions that encompass all , and equally difficult to pigeonhole yourself in a general test . I don't have friends either . I really don't feel the need for them and don't believe I could fit them into my schedule anyway . I have my wife and my dog , any free time I devote to those two . I see everyone else in the world as a drain on that time , not as if there is something missing in my life .At work I have interactions with people all the time , too much to be honest , and I am never really me at that time , I react how I think will best achieve the outcome we require . It's like acting . When I walk in the front door at home the armour gets discarded on the hallway floor and I become me .

At least I think it's me .... but you spend so much of your day acting that the lines become blurred . so trying to tick a certain box is impossible .
