Will This Test Work (confidentiality?) this way?

My daughter told me long ago that she tested on this test and her score was 18/20 so determined I was a alcoholic.  I had forgotten about that, then remembered and just the other day I thought *I* would run a test on me and I was 16/20, yet neither parent was an drinker. Only Dad had the personality of a dry drunk, according to AA.

This is the place where we talk about our dysfunctional people and I was wondering if as many as are willing (confidential I think I have made it) to do the test for me, then post your score, as I want to determine that this test is one on which any of us here could score high, on dysfunction alone.

I am one who believes we inherit many of our attitudes from our parents personalities. I was quite angry after the first car crash, but didn't know it showed, was also selfish in the way that I had to relearn all things new and understand that now with this accident--but never thought about the first until I thought of this anger--although I though it was hidden.

Please? Really!! and Thank you!!

Izzy!

Oh! I just realized-- I won't know if it's a False positive or not

OKAY--ANYONE who really is AN ACOA-- checks the lowest score--the false positives check her real score!

Hi Izzy,

I grew up with alcoholics so I am the adult child of alcoholics regardless of any test results!  I scored 9 out of 20 on this, I would have scored double that ten years ago if I'd answered the questions honestly, although back then I don't think I was aware of some aspects of myself so may have come out with a lower score.  A lot's to do with perception isn't it?  Do you like helping people or are you co-dependent, are you good at problem solving or enabling someone else?  I don't know if that helps you on your quest or not?  How is everything else going?

Hopalong:
I got 11 out of 20 and added it to your jiggery thingie above.

Thanks for the test, ((((Izz))).

I think I would have scored a lot higher years ago.

love,
Hops

Thanks twoapenny and Hopalong,
--for reminding me to insert the possibly of one having improved over the years. I went back in time to do mine, and it would be far less now.

In retrospect, even just now I don't know which age my D. chose to use as her guidepost, but I have to disagree that all high scores are from ACOA, but can be Adult children of N's or another dysfunction.

Whatever, my D. did not know what an N was until I learned that I had lived with one and saw the comparison.

Hi, Izzy.

I got 15/20 and neither of my parents were alcoholics. They were nuts, not alcoholics.
Many adult children of abuse follow behavior patterns similar to ACOAs, so scoring high on this test isn't proof that your parents were alcoholics.

Best to you,
Lollie
