Well, I became happy by reading posts here at IW, I was pretty down too yesterday, but IW cheers me up.

81 - Should I feel more saddened by the fact that I only closely missed the "top score" or by the fact that I did so even though I - for the most part - managed to resist the temptation to manipulate the result so that it would turn out how I thought it should be ....

If I redid it trying to be 110% strict I could possibly substract 10 points or so, but with a little less restrain I could probably easily get over 85 without too much of a stretch ...

How "thoughtful" and "attentive" of them to provide you with ads for psychiatrists and anti-depressants on the result page ! But I am probably a hopelessly oldfashioned European to find that offensive ...

How could you manage to be depressed???? But as in Kaz's and Wolfgir's cases (and anyone else who feels as if this test has hit a nerve so to speak) - we are here for you if you need to talk about anything. ((((hugs)))) *smoochies*

Aw, Kaz, hon. It'll be okay. Just focus on something postive, dear. There, there...*pats Kaz's back* You are at a tough age, dear - full of emotions. *OMG! I sound like a rabid cross between a parent and a psychiatrist!*

Seriously, if you need anything, you know how to reach me.

Kaz, I don't want you taking this test to heart. There are thousands of psychological tests out there, some more reliable and valid than others. As we saw, this test was still gathering evidence for validation - it may turn out that it in fact is not a good test for depression; even with my reasonably untrained eye I can see flaws - as Ramon said, it would be easy to manipulate, and very transparent. You should be very careful when accepting the word of a psychological test, especially a test on the net; people make up tests like this all the time, a test on the web doesn't even have to be scrutinised (I don't think?). So just don't start feeling depressed just because this test said you are, okay?
