When you answer each question, there are some things you should bear in mind.

  1. Base your answer on how you usually are, not just on how you were on a particular occasion.
  2. Base your answer on how you actually are, even when that differs from how you would like to be.
  3. Base your answer on how you have actually been in real situations, as opposed to how you might be in imaginary situations.
  4. Finally, remember that this is not a test. Nobody has an answer key with the right answers in it. The right answers depend upon who you are. This program does not measure degrees of normality and abnormality. It merely measures differences that may exist between normal, psychologically, healthy individuals.
