Dissociative Experiences Scale

56 for me. Interesting test - I question the reliability....

Hmm, interesting questionnaire.

I got 57, for what it's worth.

...78...I know it's stupid but I didn't expect something that high... - ZZ
96. Not a surprise. - Sarah

20-30

But I haven´t an dx anyway.

But I consider DDNOS for me to be more likely, because I score (near) zero on the amnesia part, wich make up ~1/3 of the test.

First, I haven't been diagnosed.

When I took the test one time, it was 17.
I've done it again now twice with the Excel sheet on this site. It also calculates a 'probability of taxon', or, how likely you have DID.
Well, the first time I took the test I let my subconscious pick a number. The score was 57 with a probability of 0.99998 (!!!) I don't know what that means, would random numbers give also something like this? It seems far off.
Next, I was more rational, dismissed the numbers still coming from my subconscious (what/whoever they came from) and scored 23 with a probability of 0.05035. Still a bit high, and higher that the first time I tried it.

Well, then I tried entering random numbers and I got 52.5 (not surprising as they are random) and a probability of 0.99999. So that first probability is easily explained that way.

We went from a 78 or something to a 95. NINETY-FIVE. Jesus..
Does this mean we're getting.. "worse"?

I don't think it means you're getting worse, just that maybe you're more aware of it? My score went up too, after I started taking notice of what was going on and counting all the things I'd previously written off, but they weren't happening more often.

I took this test the day I realized I had DID. I expected it to come out right around 30, but I got a 63! Just took it again and got a 70!

Took the test again.. its been a long time.. scored 85.

Im much better in reality and in my life now.. I think some people mistake recovery work with mental illness..

recovery work is about resentments, and sorrow and misery and lack of hope or ever connecting with the human race, self and God.. When these thing are worked on, life is much much better. One can have direction, love and hope.. However, as the score above suggests, although my life is much better, Im still scoring 85 on the DID test... the symptoms are not as bad as before, they have been cleaned up or washed...

Dissociative disorder is alive and well, the difference today is; Im also alive and well..... or getting "weller"... thats a cool word!

Today I reviewed my DES score from June 2011. Using my scores from June 2011, I calculated my DES Taxon to be above 23 and that puts the probability of my having DID close to 1, supporting a diagnosis of DID.

The DES Taxon is a subset of 8 questions on the DES that are most frequently scored high by people who are diagnosed with DID.

Looking at those 8 questions now, I would score most of them higher. But I would score many of the other questions lower, because my depersonalization and derealization symptoms are much reduced. So my total DES score is no lower and my DES Taxon score is higher now but that means I am actually doing much, much better. Thank you T!
