Based upon your responses to this adult ADD/ADHD screening quiz, you have replied in a way similar to people who have symptoms of moderate attention deficit disorder. Some people with scores similar to yours have sought professional treatment for this concern; others have not.
If you were diagnosed with ADHD, it would likely be of the Combined presentation, as you indicated significant symptoms of inattention and hyperactivity/impulsivity.
- You indicated that several of the symptoms were not present before age 12.
- You indicated that the symptoms do not occur in two or more settings.
For ADD or ADHD to be diagnosed by a mental health professional, usually the symptoms must occur in at least two different settings (like school and home, or work and home), and they must have lasted at least 6 months. Symptoms typically worsen in situations that require sustained attention or mental effort, or that are boring.
You should not take this as a diagnosis of any sort, or a recommendation for treatment. However, it may be beneficial for you to seek further diagnosis from a physician or a trained mental health professional in order to rule out a possible attention deficit disorder.

The Psychopathy Quiz
You scored a total of 17
Psychopathy possible
You answered this quiz consistent with people who have moderately elevated scores on measures of psychopathy and psychopathic behavior. This may suggest a tendency for some psychopathic behaviors, especially when such behaviors result in your personal gain.
Cleckley identified 16 factors that he believed made-up the main features of psychopathy:
Superficial charm and good intelligence; absence of delusions and other signs of irrational thinking; absence of ìrvousnessîr psychoneurotic manifestations; unreliability; untruthfulness and insincerity, lack of remorse or shame; inadequately motivated antisocial behaviour; poor judgement and failure to learn from experience, pathological egocentricity and incapacity for love; general poverty in major affective reactions; specific loss of insight; unresponsiveness in general interpersonal relations; fantastic and uninviting behaviour with alcohol (and sometimes without); suicide rarely carried out; sex life impersonal, trivial, and poorly integrated; and failure to follow any life plan (Cleckley, 1941:1988, p.337-338).
If this sounds like you, then you may have learned something valuable about yourself.
While most people with psychopathic tendencies don't seek out professional help -- except when something horrible has happened in their lives and they believe it may help them look good to others -- you may benefit from psychotherapy at this time. While these kinds of behaviors may be beneficial to you in some aspects of your life, they are unlikely to help you in others.
Some people with psychopathic tendencies find that, in moderation, they may be helpful to them. | |

Extreme Loneliness
You answered this quiz consistent with people who are suffering from extreme and severe loneliness.
A certain amount of loneliness is a normal part of most people's lives. But when your feelings of loneliness can become a bit overwhelming or more serious than usual -- like now -- it may be a sign that something isn't quite balanced in your life.
You may find that you could benefit by trying to reach out to others in your life -- right now. A close friend or family member whom you trust and talk to can go a long way in helping to relieve feelings of loneliness in many people. | |

| Your results indicate that you have very low self-esteem. Essentially, you've got yourself trapped in a vicious cycle: if you believe yourself to be worthless, this will cause you to think and behave in ways that only justify this distorted and false view. Chances are that you are quite frustrated with this situation and would like to change. Self-esteem is key to happiness and success. A poor sense of self will make it difficult to find the courage to pursue the career you desire, to form healthy relationships or to find your place in this world. The good news is that you can work on building your self-esteem - and you can start right now. You'll certainly be glad you made the effort. |

Short Personality Quiz
Here is how you rated on each of the Big 5 Personality traits -- extraversion, agreeableness, conscientiousness, emotional stability and openness to experiences.
| Personality Trait | Opposite Strength | | Similar Strength |
| Extraversion: 5.00 | | |  |
| Agreeableness: 4.00 |  | | |
| Conscientiousness: 4.50 | | | |
| Emotional Stability: 5.00 | | | |
| Openness to Experiences: 6.00 | | | |
Below you will find a brief interpretation of each personality trait and what your score relative to that trait may indicate about you. Because this is such a brief quiz, however, please keep in mind that the below discussion may not be entirely accurate or completely apply to you. These "Big 5" personality traits are broad traits, and a brief personality test such as this one cannot provide a detailed interpretation of your scores.
Extraversion
You appear to be more extraverted than most people. Extraversion is characterized by positive emotions, surgency, and the tendency to seek out stimulation and the company of others. The trait is marked by pronounced engagement with the external world and experiencing more positive feelings than many others. Extraverts enjoy being with people, and are often perceived as full of energy. They tend to be enthusiastic, action-oriented individuals who are likely to say "Yes" to new opportunities. In social groups they like to talk and tend to be more assertive than others.Agreeableness
You appear to hold a generally neutral view of humanity and others -- you appear to be somewhat compassionate and cooperative, but also at times suspicious about other people's motivations. While you see the value of getting along with others, you'll speak your mind when you feel like it. You probably hope that most people are honest, but are pragmatic enough to realize many are not.Conscientiousness
You appear to hold a neutral level of conscientiousness, being able to exert self-discipline from time to time, but also occasionally being impulsive.Emotional Stability
You have scored higher than many people in emotional stability, suggesting that you are less easily upset and are less emotionally reactive to stressful or painful situations or people. People who score higher on this trait tend to be calm, emotionally stable, and free from persistent negative feelings.Openness to Experiences
You have scored quite high on your openness to experiences. This suggests a general appreciation for art, emotion, adventure, unusual ideas, imagination, curiosity, and variety of experience. The trait distinguishes imaginative people from down-to-earth, conventional people. People who are open to experience are intellectually curious, appreciative of art, and sensitive to beauty. They tend to be more creative and more aware of their feelings, and are more likely to hold unconventional beliefs.

Emotional Type Quiz
You scored a total of 41
The Boundary concept was developed by Dr. Ernest Hartmann, of Tufts University, and can be a useful way of looking at personality differences and understanding why one person may develop a chronic illness that is distinctly different than a chronic illness that someone else develops.
Boundaries are more than a measure of introversion or extroversion, openness or closed-mindedness, agreeableness or hostility, or any other personality trait. Boundaries are a way to assess the characteristic way a person views her/himself and the way s/he operates in the world based on how that person handles the energy of feelings. To what extent are stimuli let in or kept out? How are a person's feelings processed internally? Boundaries are a fresh and unique way of evaluating how we function.
According to Dr. Hartmann, "There are people who strike us as very solid and well organized; they keep everything in its place. They are well defended. They seem rigid, even armored; we sometimes speak of them as "thick-skinned." Such people, in my view, have very thick boundaries. At the other extreme are people who are especially sensitive, open, or vulnerable. In their minds, things are relatively fluid. Such people have particularly thin boundaries."
Based upon your answers to this quiz, you appear to havemid-range boundaries.
This type of response indicates you may have some qualities or characteristics of both thin or thick boundary people.
Thin boundary people tend to:
- React more strongly than do other individuals to sensory stimuli and can become agitated due to bright lights, loud sounds, particular aromas, tastes or textures.
- Respond more strongly to physical and emotional pain in themselves as well as in others.
- Become stressed or fatigued due to an overload of sensory or emotional input.
- Be more allergic and their immune systems are seemingly more reactive.
- Be more deeply affected -- or recall being more deeply affected -- by events during childhood.
In a nutshell, highly thin boundary people are like walking antennae, whose entire bodies and brains seem primed to notice what's going on in their environment and internalize it. The chronic illnesses they develop will reflect this "hyper" style of feeling.
Thick boundary people tend to:
- Brush aside emotional upset in favor of simply "handling" the situation and maintaining a calm demeanor.
- Suppress or deny strong feelings. They may experience an ongoing sense of ennui, of emptiness and detachment.
- Experiments show, however, that thick boundary people don't actually feel their feelings any less. Bodily indicators (e.g., heart rate, blood pressure, blood flow, hand temperature, muscle tension) betray their considerable agitation despite surface claims of being unruffled.
In sum, highly thick boundary people don't take in nearly as much in their environment and they are much slower to recognizing what they're feeling

Romantic Attachment Quiz
| Measure | Your score |
| Relationship Avoidance: | 125 |
| Relationship Anxiety: | 68 |
| Attachment style: | Intense and Preoccupied |
| |  |
Based upon your answers, it appears that you tend to be more closed and to withhold your feelings in relationships with others. This is not necessarily a problem. But if you are having difficulties, they will most likely be in these areas:
- Your partner may complain that you don't let them in, that you don't feel emotionally available
- You may find that relationships may start out fine but deteriorate because you won't take the risks necessary to deepen the relationship
- You may have trouble making long-term commitments that require intimacy
Any distress this behavior may cause you depends on how strongly you opt for avoidance rather than anxiety. Avoidance, after all, is healthy and necessary to maintain your autonomy, self esteem and safety. Its may be good to avoid possible partners when your instincts tell you that they are dangerous.
There is also a self-balancing system involved in any relationship. The person who avoids the risks of intimacy, for instance, may be able to learn about the joys of intimacy from the anxious person who worries about losing the relationship. Similarly the anxious person may benefit from appreciating the avoidant person's naturally well-developed sense of autonomy.
Note: You tend to withhold a lot more in relationships than many others with this same attachment style. This may be characterized by a partner complaining that you never seem to open up or talk to them. You completely avoid taking risks in relationships that would help grow them or allow you to connect with another person on a deeper level. You probably have problems with long-term relationships and intimacy with your partners.
| Your romantic attachment style: Intense and Preoccupied |
You have described yourself as preoccupied in your attachments. This suggests that you have more intense interpersonal relations than many people do, that in your romantic relations you sometimes feel really quite close, and at other times you feel almost estranged and cut-off. You probably have a hard time asserting yourself in a way that makes you feel you are really in control of your emotions. You may find that you often feel let down and as if you are giving much more than you get in your romances.
It's possible that your partners feel as if you don't really know who they are, even though you feel you are very intimate with them. You probably have a higher level of emotional arousal than most other people, both positive and negative, and this gets expressed in your romantic relationships. You may find it hard to be without a lover, and yet find that when you have a lover, the intensity puts a strain on the relationship.
Being preoccupied in romance is a matter of degree. A good lover thinks of the beloved often and holds the beloved in her or his thoughts. Mindfulness is a virtue and being mindful of one's lover is highly regarded and a tremendous asset in close relationships. But there's a difference between mindfulness and preoccupation. If you feel that perhaps you have been too preoccupied in love, it may be time for you to consider professional help. Being overly preoccupied in love is a condition that can often be successfully addressed in psychotherapy.
Remember that attachment styles exist in degrees, and in this test, the degree to which a style is true for you will make a difference in your interpretation. Everyone has to have some style or another, and the features of any one style only become maladaptive when they exist in the extreme.
