So I took mine for the first time, and seemed pretty even keel. It went well to me, and some of the stuff, like mania and depression where pretty much where I expected them to be, considering I have bipolar disorder that is not in remission like I had thought it was. (stupid doctors and their lies).
That aside, it also warned me about borderline traits, which I scored a 63 on. I looked up the signs, and while some of them I can kind of sort of step back and say..."hmm. ok. interesting" I am not all like "Woah! That makes sense" like I did when I was diagnosed with bipolar. Should I bring that up to my p-doc? Plus I apparently have technology issues. But I'm a college student. Everyone in college has technology issues. 3 serious issues, and ten milder ones. And oddly, only one of those major issues had to deal with my bipolar. Is this something I should bring to my next doctor's appointment?

Lot of people have borderline traits, especially as part of bipolar I think. If you saved it you might want to print out the results and show it to your doc but it's a self-reported test so is more what you think about how you are feeling rather than something "independent". If you were just having a bad day it can show that :-)
102 is probably about average? There's nearly 300 points possible (the more you get, the worse things are). I'd say you were fine for a student. But the technology issues don't have anything to do with your being a student; that has to do with whether you're playing games/being online when you want to be doing something else and have trouble not doing that. I had that for awhile but cut back on my time online and decided some of the questions I felt differently about. That's all the test is, how you feel about the questions, personally. If you take it again now you might get a whole different score. You have the right idea with "checking" and understanding some and wondering about others, etc. The test is just to make you "aware" of where you "may" have trouble and not be aware. It's not to diagnose or tell you you have a certain condition or not.

i got something around that too. 4 serious ones and 10 milder
i dont know what part to believe tho because i got 92 in self esteem, which i completly understand and identify with but i also got posttraumatic stress disorder i used to be an abused child and i dont know if that would fit into that category. like maybe its too general? other than that i feel like its a pretty accurate scale |

100 to 130 or so is considered "normal" and not too bad. If it highlights specific areas, those are the things to be most concerned about.
130 to 150... more of a concern. 150 and above, definitely a concern.
