There is a test- The Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory, or MMPI-2, that is made up of maybe 500 true or false questions. The answers you choose are used to assess a number of mental disorders from schizophrenia to OCD to bipolar. I took this test once and I was never told the results.
I was hoping that maybe there was a website where you could take this test and get a rough evaluation of some sort.
Believe me, i tried to find a site myself. I wouldn’t have posted this otherwise.
If it can’t be found, what other site do you all recommend for a cheap psychiatric assessment?

I belive the owners of the test are pretty vicious about the copyright. They wouldn’t let the Big Secrets book (or whichever one it was) print any avtual questions. I don’t know how much trust I would put in online tests in general. If you have a problem that is making it hard to live a normal life, then you are best off seeing a trained professional
On another note: [http://hometown.aol.com/trvth/index.htm](http://hometown.aol.com/trvth/index.htm) has links to more tests than you can ever imagine (plus you get to see how your results match up with the page owner, my good friend Ian)

Oh, that one. Yeah, I took it, its for hearing people so deaf people score really weird.
Insane people taking that MMPT get perfect straight lines on it.
You’ll never be able to take it online as they charge, or they used to, each time they score it.

Who cares how you are evaluated. Crazy people make the world go round. Normal people are strict, humorless, and like Al Gore in personality-wise. I say you are worried of being different or odd. Just think of all the weirdos’ and how fameous they are. Weird is not neccicarily bad. If you have a multiple personality, HEY, YOU’LL NEVER BE ALONE. you will alwase have company, unless youre trying to kill your self because you believe you will hurt you in you to you from you.

[Queendom](http://www.queendom.com/tests.html) has several personality tests. Not the MMPPI, of course.
