I have a strange fleeting affinity for them. So the most recent one I’ve taken is the “How Depressed Are You?” test.
Go take it. http://www.intelihealth.com/IH/ihtIH/WSAET001/331/9025.html
Apparently what I thought was everyday Simetra behavior means that I’m a very depressed person. I’m not going to share my score, just because basically I find it embarrasing, and also kinda personal.
Well anyway, I just thought I’d share. Sorry if this has been posted before.
“your score on the CESD indicates that you have a low probability of having depression at this time”
Ok, so I’m not depressed. This is something I kind of knew anyway.
Ditto. I must be a cheery bugger, I guess.
I’m depressed. Oh, well.
“The likelihood that you have major or clinical depression is high.”
That’s odd, I don’t feel depressed.
“Your CESD score is 44. The likelihood that you have major or clinical depression is high.”
—Yeah, like I needed a Web site to tell me THAT. Only 44? Feh.
Heh. Big deal, it’s nothing I didn’t already know. Though I’d say dysthemia (sp?) is a more accurate diagnosis, it didn’t do too bad for a completely impersonal multiple choice test.
Wow. Apparently, I’ve already committed suicide.
Just kidding! They can’t tell if I’m depressed or not, with a scire if 22. That has to be about the best I’ve ever been.
Woohoo! I’m not depressed! [sub]I was worried.[/sub]
9? 22? Baby stuff! I’ll bet I’m more depressed than any of you mewling Pollyannas—Anybody beat a 44?
I just called a psychiatrist yesterday to make an appointment to adjust (or change) my antidepressant.
Whadda ya know?
Crap Eve, I scored a 22. I will have to go back to see if I can beat your score.
HUGS!

WOOHOO! I scored a 60. I beat Eve! Now if only I could actually make those answers into reality I will be committed in no time. Everyone love me. I scored a 60. I knew it didn’t sound right when I scored a measly 22.
HUGS!

PS. Love the “mewling Pollyannas” line. 
I scored a 3, and I hate Christmastime, and snow, and cold, and three Vikings losses in a row…
I’ll re-take the test if the Vikings go to the Big One… and lose.
26… now I am depressed.
I used to highscore at lots of those tests…
At a time I used to do the

test on a regular base, just to see if I was getting better or worse in the long run.
But I also fiddled the score down a bit when I scored too high and suicidal for my taste.
Let me see what I score half a year later…
be quiet I am taking the test now… psst
18 points - moderate possibility…
dodgy
Damn, I got a 29.
Rysdad, I scored a 2, and I’m a Redskins fan.
Hey, Sqrl—you cheated! You pathetic 22, you. I’m TWICE as depressed as you are!
You scored a total of 5.
0 - 9: No Depression Likely
