I've got an aunt who's bipolar, and a mother who's had depression (same side of family). Sometimes I feel like I have bursts of energy, or can't fall to sleep at night. If I were to be diagnosed as bipolar, I wouldn't be surprised, but in no way am seeking a diagnosis at this time. I feel that bipolar disorder is actually more difficult to me for me to consider applying a self-diagnosis towards because it's symptoms are of an emotional state. However, I have difficulty describing my emotions and social situations, and have had special interests (road signs, transportation systems, pavement styles, computers, politics). By far, Asperger's is easier for me to self-diagnose because it relies heavily on such kinds of objective criteria.

It's good that this quiz is posted in a forum whose titles contains the words "Off the Wall." While there may be some shred of truth to this quiz, and while some certainly may find it entertaining, I'm not entrusting it with the duty of telling me my true mental status if it can't even spell "affect" correctly. (Yes, the word "effect" is used in grammatically correct way here, but given the overall context, it is used incorrectly.)
