Why theys be making you be testing when they already bes diagnosed you? other posts by yous say you be diagnosed alreadys?

I taked it with my psych doctor not T. he first asked me ifn I seen it befored and shows me that it be lots differnt then the online ones first.

online one not complete. it says it on website.
there be question diffent online an one psychdoctor have.

online one be from 2004 befores new diagnosis rules happen. liken nows it aint asking now if you be forgetting what you be doing today question. it be askin different kind forgetting questions. an it now not ask ifn you gots thoughts feeling not your own. it not ask bout pain in privates now an it not ask about voices.

it ask bout what be dissociation things you be gots now accodin to after the new diangosis rule stuffs.

they also be changing scoring it. some questions you have to be lows on and somes high on an not whats you expects be high on from reading about things. things only psych doctor knows about that be dissociation.

some questions be there on purpose see if taker of test be faking or be other disorder things that not really bes dissociation question

when I bes take it I answer a question that goes me diagnosed with psychotic things liken hear things not be real, sees things not be real.

I not do this test by self, its gots interview too with it. special things psych doctor looked for whens we talks about things I be dos. I asks him why he be asking me ifn I bes able to cook, clean, pay my bills, gest dressed, looks at pictures and tells story of picture, name who peoples be in pictures lost more.

he say cause dissociation not selective, it dos not picks one thing ifn I gots it, it happen just a much whens I bes in school an with peoples as it dos when I bes alone, an whens I dos normal routine things. that he be compare whats I tells him with whats my doctors and T tells him and whats programs tells him abouts me. Then alls everyone be done telling bouts me he send tests away be socred then he get my scores be back he be reviewing everything he gots on me an then be diagnose me. he say MID an MMPI, DES TAT an other tests I be taked not able to say by self ifn I gots dissociation. that lots happpen befores he cans say I bes DID.

long time be passt for I gots the answer ifn I gots dissociation. then day came an he tells be yes. that wen I start special therapy work like grounding, IFS and other too that all be on learning abouts parts, alters, dissociation grounding lots of things be doing.

My T is not DID trained at all. It was just a suggestion she made.

The MID is a very good test. It evaluates the test taker for PTSD, BPD, OSDD, and DID with a high rate of accuracy for distinguishing between genuine and malingered DID.

Good luck, Rive. It's a long questionnaire but it may really help and it certainly can't hurt, right?

The MID helped a lot with our denial. It showed many graphs with my score, compared to the averages for people with x disorder. So I could see how my symptoms compared.
I would recommend it. My T used it to aid diagnosis.

The graphs come with the report on your testing. I found them useful because they compare your results with the average results of people with DID, people who aren't dissociative, and people who have other dissociative diagnoses like PTSD and DDNOS/OSDD.

Some of your scores will likely be a lot higher or lower than one of the 25 or so category DID averages depending on how your own symptoms manifest but the overall picture is the point. I recall that our number for amnesia was way lower than the DID average but we don't really lose time anymore. You need to let a professional interpret your overall results, of course.
