Bi polar disorder isn't determinde by taking a test.

Its through observation that you can distinguish whether or not you have a chemical imballance.

Answer 3

Online tests are so subjective that they aren't worth much more than entertainment value.  I can say I vary greatly from being outgoing to withdrawn, but my definition of these differences can be very different than what the test intends.  That holds the same for everybody.  If you seriously question having bipolar, make an appt with your regular doctor for a check up and blood tests to rule out any medical reasons.  If the symptoms you describe are consistent with bipolar, your doctor should refer you to a psychologist or a pyschiatrist for evaluation.  (Any good psychiatrist will want medical ruled out before diagnosing.)

This site has pretty good info.  I took the test and wasn't impressed.  Twelve questions can't tell anything.  Besides, the only purpose for a diagnosis is to identify proper treatment.  If you're not willing to be evuluated and in treatment, the label is just an excuse for poor behavior and that most definitely is not cool.
