What can i say? I was completely surprised that i received a score of 160 and had 10 serious concerns. I guess the slight shock came from issues that I suspected I might have but have never been addressed. I've been under the care of a therapist for about 5 months for Anxiety and Depression, and during this time I took an assessment which was very similar to the sanity test. I have yet to find out the results from this assessment though, every time I ask about it my therapist says that she needs to gather more information about some of my responses. However, recently we agreed that I have OCD tendencies. Yeah, like I didn't know that!

I'm curious about some of the "serious concerns". I know this isn't a true diagnostic test but how accurate is it? For example, it states that I have technology issues. I work in the computer field plus I do freelance consulting and system maintenance. 99% of the time I spend online is job related in one form or another. I'm aware that my obsessiveness plays a role in this, I constantly seek out new articles or tech briefs to read whether I need to or not. Plus, I do it when i'm not working and it seems I'm on mt laptop all the time. An addiction? Possibly! I won't minimize or deny but I feel that the score in that area may be a bit off.

Here was the breakdown, let me know what you think:

General Coping: 68
Depression: 69
Anxiety: 66
Phobias: 67
Mania and Bi-Polar Disorder: 55
Relationship Issues: 75
Smoking: 100 (i lol'd at that)
Technology Issues: 88
Obsessions and Compulsions: 88
Borderline Traits: 71
Thanks for this!

You beat me by 2 points. I had a 158. I forget just where I fell on the concerns. But had a 94 for Depression. I scored zero's on all the addiction type matters. I quit smoking 21 years ago. Amazing how easy it was. I wish other problems were as easy to deal with.
