test says i am sane

Wtf it's literally 5 questions. 

Answers: 
1. Never
2. Get anxious
3. Frequently
4. Mostly
5. A bit odd

Result: 


This test in itself is terrible for self-assessment; The ones with self-awareness will score as if crazier than the ones delusionally self-assured.

 Maybe it is true and doctors have been shit talking you this entire time just to promote drugs that summon demons to your location

Self-assessment has typically been inaccurate when done through these sorts of tests, but with five questions (and these questions at that) it seems more like it's gauging if they're quirky rather than crazy.

In relation to these questions, personifying objects is more common than you'd think, a lot of people respond poorly to stress, a lot of people have thoughts they might characterize as unusual (if anything saying all their thoughts are normal is weirder), people are in a time period where questioning reality is becoming normalized, and 'how friends describe their behavior' is based on a lot of open ended factors. 

If you want good tests, the questions need to either be designed to mislead the test taker, usually with the same question asked a few times with different wording and the 1 to 5 rating flipped around a few times to catch people, or you need it to be like how the MMPI is structured where it asks seemingly random true/false questions like: 

1.I like mechanics magazines
2.I have a good appetite
3.I wake up fresh & rested most mornings
4.I think I would like the work of a librarian
5.I am easily awakened by noise
6.I like to read newspaper articles on crime
7.My hands and feet are usually warm enough
8.My daily life is full of things that keep me interested
9.I am about as able to work as I ever was
10.There seems to be a lump in my throat much of the time

With the MMPI, rather than looking at the answers to the questions themselves as indicative of a score, it instead averages the results alongside others of different disorders to see if the results resemble perceived averages across said disorders. This makes it harder to trick the test and gets past bothersome elements of self-assessment by changing how the scoring system functions overall.

 Self assessments only fail if the person doing them is a pathological liar

Or if their sense of self is otherwise distorted, which tends to be the case overall. 

So make your own test and add trick questions where they intentionally pick the self distorted ones
