I got: -
"Although your scores were generally quite good, you scored well outside the normal range in at least one category. This suggests that you should probably consult with a mental health professional for further testing or treatment. There is most certainly a professional out there who can help improve the symptoms you are experiencing.

The following are the areas of concern detected by the screening:


 You have suffered from what appears to be a brief psychotic episode. This could be a product of many different disorders, both mental and physical. See a psychiatrist for further diagnosis.
 You appear to have experienced at least one manic episode.
 Your responses strongly indicate that you suffer from Body Dysmorphic Disorder.

The test also detected symptoms of one or more disorders that did not meet all the criteria, but that may still merit treatment.

The following are the areas of concern detected by the screening:


 You have experienced symptoms of a major depressive episode, but not enough to qualify as a full-blown episode, or as major depressive disorder.
 You experience some symptoms of Simple Phobia.
 You experience some symptoms of Social Phobia.
 You appear to have some obsessive thoughts.
 You exhibit some compulsive thoughts or behaviours.
 You display some symptoms of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, but you do not appear to meet the full criteria for the disorder.
 You experience some symptoms of Generalised Anxiety Disorder.
 You experience some symptoms of Panic Disorder with Agoraphobia.
 You suffer from symptoms of anorexia but do not meet all the criteria for the illness.
 You appear to suffer from some symptoms of Dependent Personality disorder."

I get extremely skeptical about these things. Especially ones relating to doctors. Usually they'd lie so they could make money from patients without proper diet.

Reliability is irrelevant. You must take the test!!!! Do it. DO IT NOW!!!!

Even though, this one is surprisingly accurate.

That quiz has no diagnosis for "You have an unhealthy obsession with obscure independent computer games."

Apparently, I have Body Dysmorphic Disorder. This thing is a load of crap. Yeah, I bet it can really diagnose me with a mental disorder based on a bunch of vague questions.

What I want to know is if anyone ticked any of the boxes for this one:

Stupid Test wrote:For at least the past six months, I've had a strong desire...

to have sexual contact with minors.
to have sexual contact with non-living objects.
to view people who are naked, disrobing, or engaging in sexual activity without their knowledge or consent.
to expose my genitals to unsuspecting strangers.
to rub myself against unsuspecting strangers.


Come on, guys, fess up.

This is not a problem for me, Next page:

Clicked that 13 times.

Not a very compelling test, and if the results are anything to go by, I'm a perfectly normal guy.

I'm 4 kinds of fucked up, and that's only because I recently had sex, realize that some things that I think are sick and twisted, such as laughing at people getting hurt and that I was depressed as a teen. (oh noes!)

Well, we all have some kind of problem(s), right? I think that most of us deal with problems that we can't deal with at a subconscious level, and the actual problem is masked by something we create with our minds.

Hence the tests may appear to give false information.
