Attention! Anxiety: People with scores similar to yours may be suffering from moderate to high anxiety, symptoms that might typically qualify a person for the diagnosis of an anxiety disorder. Sometimes people who feel such anxiety symptoms don't realize that their body may be trying to tell them something. Look for patterns in your behavior, such as when and what circumstances under which you experience the symptoms you've described. For example, if it occurs prior to public speaking and your job requires a lot of presentations you may want to find ways to calm yourself before speaking or let others do some of the presentations.

You should not take this as a diagnosis of any sort, or a recommendation for treatment. However, if would be advisable and likely beneficial for you to seek further diagnosis from a trained mental health professional soon to rule out a possible anxiety disorder.

Self-Esteem: People with scores similar to yours express some minor concerns with their self-esteem. Self-esteem is most often the product of our upbringing and personalities.

Eating Disorders: People with scores similar to yours often have a trait or two associated with an eating disorder, such as anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, or binge eating disorder.

If it is causing you concern, however, you should consider talking to a therapist who specializes in eating disorders.

Congratulations, Birdie! I feel so proud for you

I think I'm going to re-test using the same (or very similar) answers. Mine didn't seem so detailed, maybe I missed things.
