The quiz is scored by totaling certain true responses to a set of chosen question that positively correlate to known symptoms of Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID) based on extensive research. In other words, any 'true' or 'yes" answer that is scored qualifies as a 'known' symptom of DID and is scored based on severity of symptoms. The total scores that a person could get range between 0 and 156.

If you scored above '50' points, it is very possible that you have already been diagnosed and are being treated for DID.

If not, you may want to seek out mental health professionals for evaluation or assessment. The higher the score, the more likely a diagnosis of a Dissociative Identity Disorder.

Side Note:

Interestingly, we created this quiz as a way to give each 'part' of ourself a place to answer questions in their own way. We had found that so many assessments were set up so that there was constant argument inside as to how to answer. When we began designing the quiz, we realized that when the questions were worded in a way that the arguments stopped and there was agreement, those certain questions also seemed to validate much basic DID research.

You may also notice that some of the questions are worded so that if you were asked in past tense, you would have answered 'true' - meaning that your score has gone down as you have moved forward in healing - another possible discussion topic.

Again, thank you for your participation.
