So i took a online test to see how bad my ha is and i scored "extremely high" according to their test, i thoguht it'd be interesting to see what other people scored, i know its a simple test and its not to replace a professional oppinon, but its just a glimpse into how bad your anxiety is, it doesnt ask any anxiety inducing questions dont worry.

heres the link http://www.4degreez.com/misc/hypochondria_test.html

I got extremely high, that's not a surprise seeming as I've been convinced that I have had at least 4 types of cancer in the last twelve months and I'm 23.

I got EXTREMELY HIGH. Not one bit surprised though considering the amount of "illnesses" I've had over the past year or two..............

I got "very high", and I answered conservatively

[cattia]

Is it a professional test? I noticed they made errors in describing it, although it could be because it's an aged site:

Hypochondria causes people to become preoccupied with the belief that they are suffering from one or more physical diseases. This belief causes great psychological suffering on the part of the hypochondriac. Anxiety and depression often result. However, most cases of this disorder respond to treatment. Hypochondria is also known as hypochondriasis or health anxiety, and may be related to somatization disorder.

I've assumed it's a US site for that, although they don't even mention OCD also occurs in HA as HA is an overlappy umbrella term. Their description wouldn't fit with the view held by WHO outside of the US.

EDIT: I don't mean to say it's wrong, just to be careful as it may not be one the tests used by professionals.
