Mental Health Tests

by

Everyone likes to take tests, right? No, very few people like to take tests … but what happens when they’re tests that will tell you all about yourself? I did a bit of searching and found some mental health tests that can give you some insight into yourself. I have taken each of these tests to be sure that they are accurate. *nods* Mucho scientific research occurs on my couch!

Are you addicted to the internet? - “You are an average on-line user. You may surf the Web a bit too long at times, but you have control over your usage.” I think I would have to agree with that. I spend a lot of time on my computer & online, but I get paid to do what I’m spending my time here doing.

Self test for Alcoholism - I answered yes to a few of these questions, but never more than three in each section, which can indicate a certain stage of alcoholism. If you’re at all concerned you may be an alcoholic, please take some time to call the Alcohol Hotline at 1-800-331-2900. It is both free and confidential.

Adult ADD/ADHD Test - “Dr. Amen suggests: “More than 20 items with a score of three or more indicates a strong tendency toward ADD. Items 1, 6, and 7 are essential to make the diagnosis.” I do not have adult ADD/ADHD and I didn’t think I would.

Screening for Anxiety - “The above answer(s) are anxiety symptoms that might be part of an Anxiety Disorder. It is advised to seek a psychiatric consultation.” I knew that. : )

Depression Screening Test - “Your answers show the presence of prominent depressive symptoms. It is advised to seek a psychiatric consultation.” I knew that, too!

Obsessive Compulsive Disorder Test “You probably do not have clinically significant obsessions.” and “You probably do not have clinically significant compulsions.” Yup, that’s what I assumed. I’m anal about things, but I don’t significantly obsess about anything.

The Termperment Discovery Test “Guardians can have a lot of fun with their friends, but they are quite serious about their duties and responsibilities. Guardians take pride in being dependable and trustworthy; if there’s a job to be done, they can be counted on to put their shoulder to the wheel. Guardians also believe in law and order, and sometimes worry that respect for authority, even a fundamental sense of right and wrong, is being lost. Perhaps this is why Guardians honor customs and traditions so strongly–they are familiar patterns that help bring stability to our modern, fast-paced world.” This one is rather long, but it’s obviously true for me. If you want to check out ANY of these tests, this would be the one that you should check out!

Screening for Personality Disorders “Based on the above answer(s), your personality traits might be associated with following personality type(s): Obsessive Personality.” I wouldn’t have thought this, but the more that I read about it, the more I am able to agree.

Health Tests has quite the list of different tests including: the anger test, lifestyle test and even a sleep hygiene test!
