So you are giving a DSM 4 diagnosis based on a self evaluation ?
I read the questions (Iphone vs Android? Is that a demographic question??? Really?) and I had a good laugh.
Regardless of the actual accuracy (which I doubt), what exactly is the interest of the result for a person with enough instropection (fancy word for self awareness) to care enough and take the test in the first place?
- glaugh 13y agoJust want to be really clear that we're not doing any diagnosis, and no matter what you responded we'd never say "That's it, you're a psychopath." Also perhaps 'demographic' is probably the wrong word on our part, point taken :)
- brudgers 13y agoThe phone question is a complete non-sequitor...or maybe owning a Windows phone makes someone a psychopath?
- glaugh 13y agoAll the questions that aren't part of that first big bunch are just fun things we can cut the data on later. In retrospect we weren't terribly clear on that.
- joshrotenberg 13y agoYeah, I was confused when I got to the phone and language questions as well, and was expecting the result to be a joke or something that completely ignored the first set of questions and called me a psychopath for using Android and writing Clojure.
- Someone 13y agoThose questions made me worry for a moment whether this was some social engineering thing. I don't think they would collect some dangerous info on those who do the survey, but, for instance, it could be an effort to provide targeted ads to my IP address.
