so what's the average?

Got a score of 16... wonder what it means.. it would be nice to have some sort of interpretation - did not find any on the site.
Can anyone elaborate?

New on this forum, cheers, Judith

My score is 71 with 9 issues to look into...it seemed to be pretty dead on with the issues though

I just took my first test and got a 180. With 13 major concerns.

I really don't know how I feel about this. It seems there are a lot of people on this site with much lower scores. And I know how much I have improved in the past year or two.

168 and 12 serious concerns, I guess I should stop putting off getting help ;\ It's my own fault really, and yes, I believe I'm as crazy as the score says I am. lol. I just gotta figure what it is now, with some help.

hi, i am new, my score was 148 with 9 concerns. I did see that 60 was the average score. so, i am not sure is 148 good or bad?

The result suprised me a little... I got a 116... even after a year of therapy...
It says I might wanna talk to my doc about bi-polar disorder...

I scored 133 . I have 8 serious concerns and 9 milder concerns. So yiphee! for me. Just got to get the GP's to confirm there is a problem

98...I am happy with this, I always see small change as insignificant, I guess it has paid off.

Another thing I am pleased with is the amount of body weight or fat...I don't know what bmi means. But all my life ppl (not my Doc) always said I was unhealthy because I had been (am tall) slender, at 6' & 138 lbs than, was actually within "normal" and Healthy. Working to get back to that weight after falling off the band wagon into Depression.

I got an 123 and i'm on meds. So maybe i'm not as well as i thought.

Im Happy @77

I got 172 and a list came up. I don't really want any more then the ptsd, that is bad enough. Although today is a really rotten day, so maybe it be better when my mood is better, I hope.

BMI = body mass index (ratio between height and weight and being within a healthy range)

I am 6 feet and 170 lbs. which feels healthy. Could lose maybe 5-10 lbs.

My, my, I thought myself, well, not healthy, but in control, and what did I get?

168, 11 serious and 6 milder concerns.

Well, I was really honest, so should I go see a doctor?
Most of the concerns I got I can understand, but I always thought I can figure everything out by myself...
But this seems so... high?

I took the test and got a 91 but i think i shouldve gotten a worse score

I got 204.

151

(10 serious concerns)

General Coping - 68
Depression - 75
Anxiety - 95
Phobias - 92
Self Esteem - 58
Schizophrenia - 65
Dissociation - 83
Obsessions/Compulsions - 88
Posttraumatic Stress - 75
Borderline Traits - 79

..speaks volumes about myself, which only I can say for sure.

I have 95... I wonder if that's good. I assumed I would be borderliney, also had it bad for anxiety and depression... But I never thought I could be high on OCD! That's just annoying! I AM NOT! I mean, sure, I take time checking things out over and over... But that doesn't really mean a thing. Does it?

I scored a 107 with six major concerns and six minor ones. That was on a really bad day though. I've been feeling pretty good for the last two weeks, so I don't know what it would be now.

My own personal average is a 96, my highest score is 111, my lowest score is 83.

oh jesus, I got 198. with i think 14 concerns and 3 minor concerns.

You gonna correlate these results and come up with a new average? hehe x

Well, one thing I understand from reading lots about mental disorders and what not is that lots of "symptoms" overlap with other disorders, for example, it's quite possible you're going to get higher on the borderline personality disorder when you've got bipolar especially since I find some of the questions could be a bit more specific. Also, it's important to remember that a certain degree of "symptoms" appear in the "normal" population. Problems occur when these "symptoms" are having a detrimental effect on your life.

Also, it's obviously not a diagnostic tool. That's why it suggests talking to your doctor, going a bit more in depth and what not. I know well enough I'm not manic, but it tells me to talk to the doctor who would go into far more detail about "symptoms" than a multiple choice test could. Also, the answers are a bit subjective too, memory errors and the lack of a definition of usual or often or whatever can lead to errors too. If you're anxious about your mental health you may answer higher than someone who is not worried about it even though that other person might actually be doing worse, so really it's an okay tool for suggesting that you see someone or look deeper into an issue, but definitely don't think "Oh no! I scored high on X disorder therefore I have it" or "I scored really low on depression, therefore I must be happy". It's a self reported online test (impersonal, lacking observations), multiple choice with some flawed questions and when you take it alone, you're not getting the kind of results you would when a person trained in diagnosing mental issues is asking you similar lines of questioning ie. it's less accurate than a in person psychiatric exam for sure.

The answers and test itself are wholly subjective, it's for one's own information to give one an idea of things one might want to talk to a therapist about or work on on one's own or whatever. There shouldn't be a whole lot of surprises :-) But one can't "average" anything since it's each person's individual results.

Somewhere in the 170s I got. With 14 problems. So unless im real bad lol then yours seems ok

It might be wholly subjective, but that didn't stop me from covering the screen with my hand and peeking at it between two fingers to view my results...
