Split personality test
Multiple Personality Disorder test (DES)
by Hanan Parvez
This Multiple Personality Disorder test utilizes the Dissociative Experiences Scale (DES), a questionnaire that measures your degree of dissociation. Multiple Personality Disorder (also called Dissociative Identity Disorder) is the extreme manifestation of dissociation and dissociative disorders.
In dissociative disorders, people dissociate or break away from their core sense of self. For instance, in dissociative amnesia, individuals are unable to recall a particular experience or event because they had dissociated during that event.
Dissociation is often triggered by an extremely stressful or traumatic event. The movie Fractured that came out in 2019 presents a good example of dissociation.
In Multiple Personality Disorder, people display two or more separate personalities or identities. These personalities are called alters. When an alter other than the main identity of the person is in charge, the latter experiences a memory gap. For a detailed discussion of the condition, check out this article on Multiple Personality Disorder.
This test consists of 28 questions and you are to select the most appropriate answer from the drop-down list. The questions are related to your daily life experiences. The answers range from 0% of the time i.e. Never to 100% of the time i.e. Always.
Your answers should indicate how often these experiences occur to you when you’re not under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
Note that this questionnaire is not a diagnostic tool but only a screening test. It’s a starting point for you to discover the severity of your dissociative symptoms. Higher scores don’t indicate you have Multiple Personality Disorder, only that a clinical assessment of your dissociation symptoms may be warranted.
Your answers and results will not be stored anywhere.
They’ll only be visible to you. Also, no personal information of any sort will be collected.

Borderline Personality Disorder
How is borderline personality disorder (BPD) diagnosed?
There is no definitive test to diagnose borderline personality disorder (BPD). It is diagnosed through a clinical interview with a licensed mental health professional, explains Simon A. Rego, PsyD, chief psychologist at Montefiore Medical Center and Associate Professor of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at Albert Einstein College of Medicine, both in New York City.
The mental health professional may ask the person to complete some assessment measures to aid in the diagnosis. They may also talk with the person’s previous health care providers, look at earlier medical evaluations, and conduct interviews with friends and family.1
Who can diagnose borderline personality disorder?
BPD is most often diagnosed by a mental health professional, such as a psychologist, psychiatrist, or social worker, says Simon A. Rego, PsyD, chief psychologist at Montefiore Medical Center and Associate Professor of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at Albert Einstein College of Medicine, both in New York City.
What proportion of people with borderline personality disorder are women?
About 1.4% of adults in the U.S. have BPD1, and it is estimated that around 75% of those diagnosed with borderline personality disorder are women.2 However, more recent research suggests that BPD may be equally as common in men, but is often misdiagnosed as another disorder, such as post-traumatic stress disorder or depression, says Simon A.
Rego, PsyD, chief psychologist at Montefiore Medical Center and Associate Professor of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at Albert Einstein College of Medicine, both in New York City.
How long does it take to diagnose borderline personality disorder?
Diagnosing BPD typically takes one or two sessions, says Simon A. Rego, PsyD, chief psychologist at Montefiore Medical Center and Associate Professor of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at Albert Einstein College of Medicine, both in New York City. “However, because borderline personality disorder can be confused with other disorders, such as bipolar disorder, unfortunately, getting the correct diagnosis can take some time,” he explains.
For example, a 2009 study found that 74% of the patients who met the criteria for the condition had never been diagnosed with BPD in the past, despite an average of more than 10 years since their first “psychiatric encounter.”3
Why are more women diagnosed with borderline personality disorder?
Some researchers think that there may be biological, psychological, and social/environmental factors that predispose women to BPD, says Simon A.
Rego, PsyD, chief psychologist at Montefiore Medical Center and Associate Professor of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at Albert Einstein College of Medicine, both in New York City. However, he explains, evidence also suggests that the difference may be accounted for by a “diagnostic gender bias.”
A diagnostic gender bias means that if the person is a woman, she is much more likely to receive the diagnosis of BPD than if she were a man reporting the same symptoms, Rego says.
What can borderline personality disorder be mistaken for?
The most common diagnoses that borderline personality disorder is mistaken for are bipolar disorder, depression, anxiety disorders, and eating disorders, says Simon A. Rego, PsyD, chief psychologist at Montefiore Medical Center and Associate Professor of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at Albert Einstein College of Medicine, both in New York City.
What are the criteria for borderline personality disorder?
The American Psychiatric Association’s Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition (DSM-5) outlines the criteria for a diagnosis.
BPD is diagnosed on the basis of (1) a pervasive pattern of instability of interpersonal relationships, self-image, and affect (the outward display of a person's emotional state, including their speech, body language, and gestures) and (2) marked impulsivity beginning by early adulthood and present in a variety of contexts, as indicated by at least five of the following nine criteria:
- Frantic efforts to avoid real or imagined abandonment; this does not include suicidal or self-mutilating behavior covered in criterion 5
- A pattern of unstable and intense interpersonal relationships characterized by alternating between extremes of idealization and devaluation
- Markedly and persistently unstable self-image or sense of self
- Impulsivity in at least two areas that are potentially self-damaging (e.g., spending, sex, substance abuse, reckless driving, binge eating). This does not include suicidal or self-mutilating behavior covered in criterion 5.
- Recurrent suicidal behavior, gestures, or threats, or self-mutilating behavior
- Affective instability due to a marked reactivity of mood (e.
g., intense episodic dysphoria, irritability, or anxiety usually lasting a few hours and only rarely more than a few days) - Chronic feelings of emptiness
- Inappropriate, intense anger or difficulty controlling anger
- Transient, stress-related paranoid ideation or severe dissociative symptoms
What does it feel like to have borderline personality disorder?
BPD is characterized by intense emotional highs and lows, and can make someone feel very anxious, depressed, and unstable, says Simon A. Rego, PsyD, chief psychologist at Montefiore Medical Center and Associate Professor of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at Albert Einstein College of Medicine, both in New York City.
A person with BPD can have mood swings and unstable relationships. They tend to view things in extremes, as in all good or all bad. Their opinions of other people can change quickly. For instance, they may see a person as a friend one day and an enemy the next.

Can BPD go away?
While BPD has historically been seen as a lifelong, very disabling mental health condition, recent research is challenging this assumption. Now it appears that there may be a positive trajectory over time, with many of the most troubling symptoms remitting during the first few years. Unfortunately, other symptoms may remain for longer periods.
Even though many psychotherapies have been developed to help people with BPD, long-term recovery in social functioning is still difficult for them, says Simon A. Rego, PsyD, chief psychologist at Montefiore Medical Center and Associate Professor of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at Albert Einstein College of Medicine, both in New York City.

Test for split personality
Dissociative personality disorder (DID, split personality) is a severe mental illness, a split in the ego. It is so ambiguous, so rare, that some psychiatrists question its relevance. They believe that this problem is far-fetched, and patients with similar symptoms suffer from other diagnoses. However, the majority still considers this deviation as real. The split personality test is designed to determine the signs of such a diagnosis and the tendency to it. nine0003
1. Does it often happen to you that you cannot remember several hours of the past days and have no idea what you were doing at that time?
Yes, this happens to me quite often.
Yes, this happens occasionally.
Yes, this has happened a few times, but I think it's just a boring day, procrastination, or something similar.
No, this has never happened to me.
2. Have you ever been confident that the current day was Monday, for example, but it turned out that it was a different day of the week? nine0003
Yes, this happened often. And it scares me terribly, because I don’t remember how I spent the “missed” days.
Yes, this happened several times, I tried to find excuses, but they were unlikely.
Yes, it happened, but then I still realized that I just made a mistake, and I remembered the previous day.
No, this did not happen, or it happened for a short time while awake.
3. Do you think you received enough attention as a child from your parents, especially from your mother? nine0003
No, I was very lonely or one of my parents left the family and did not communicate with me.
I remember times when my parents didn't take enough care of me, they were often aggressive, but there were also good moments.
There were such cases, but they were rare.
No, I have always had a loving family.
4. Do you suffer from depression, suicidal thoughts, panic attacks and/or severe anxiety disorders?
Yes, I have (almost) everything on this list. nine0003
No, but (almost) all of this was in the recent past.

This happened, but I remember all the times when I behaved in an unusual way. nine0003
No, this has never happened to me.
6. Do you have moments of cloudiness when you can't understand who you are (it's not about philosophy), or does everything around you seem somehow unreal?
Yes, this happens to me often.
Yes, this has happened several times.
Yes, this has happened after taking alcohol/psychotropic substances/strong drugs, or when you have a high temperature, and you feel unwell.
No, that doesn't happen to me. nine0003

Yes, it happened to me and it scared me.
Yes, this has happened, but I think it's just a coincidence.
This happened a couple of times, but there is a person living in the neighborhood who really looks like me, or strangers admitted that they made a mistake.
No, that didn't happen.

Dissociation Scale (DES) split personality test
Dissociative Personality Disorder DID (formerly known as multiple personality disorder, colloquially known as split personality disorder) is a psychological condition caused by multiple causes, including severe childhood trauma (physical, sexual, and emotional).
Dissociative disorder has an involuntary departure of a person's consciousness from reality, including subsequent difficulties with identity, behavior, memory, emotions, disrupting all mental functions. nine0003
Split personality affects all age groups of people. Symptoms usually develop as a result of a traumatic situation in the psyche in order to further block memories.
There are three main types of dissociative disorders:
- Dissociative identity disorder
- Dissociative amnesia
- Depersonalization disorder
The symptoms depend on the type of disorder and may worsen at times, making them more obvious.
The main symptoms and signs of duplicity can be: nine0003
- loss of memory (amnesia) for a specified period;
- feeling of detachment from oneself;
- distorted perception of people and things around oneself;
- split sense of identity
- inability to cope with emotional stress;
- the onset of depression, anxiety and suicidal thoughts.
With a dissociative disorder, the number of personalities changes and a person may have two or more independent from each other. These "personalities" are called alters. When an alter appears that is different from the main personality, the person experiences amnesia and most often, his behavior and temperament can change in the opposite direction. nine0003
For example, a person is passive and indecisive by his nature, and his viola has become active and decisive, etc. Also, alternative personalities can change gender, age, and even interests in their minds. When one of the personalities is in charge, the rest go into "standby mode", because of this, people cannot remember part of everyday life.
