The only criticism I could make (or be reasonably qualified to make) about the Sanity Score quiz is that it asked no detailed questions about a person's circumstances in life. It did explore a few relationship issues, meaning with one's sexual partner or spouse, but even those were on a superficial level. What about the rest of the family? What about socio-economic factors? For example, how many people have to struggle to raise children alone, due to divorce, abandonment, death, or disability of the other parent? How many people have to care for an elderly father or mother? A parent with Alzheimer's Disease? And they can't afford any meaningful assistance? Or consider how many families are in foreclosure, through no fault of their own -- perhaps the primary breadwinner was hit by an uninsured drunk driver, or was injured at work and has a lawsuit pending . . . and pending. These are all things that can affect the Sanity Score! And they are all very common today.
