I come in with a solid 4.
9 reporting in. Fml
2
Am I a normie?
>>16787212
Normal (or at least, healthy) would be 0.
Hell, I'm a 4, and my parents were straight-up emotionally abusive jerks who fucked up all three of my siblings and I.
>Did an adult or person at least 5 years older than you ever…
>Attempt or actually have oral, anal, or vaginal intercourse with you?
0. But I'm still on here with you for some reason.
>>16787216
Really?
I mean, whose parents haven't divorced or separated to some degree? That and I answer a (shaky) yes to #4. It's hard to remember behind the age of 20/21.
2
Mom humillated me for a while

Anyway i know both were normal before this new age shit, but im still salty.

You're less likely to have mental disorders in your adulthood and your life expectancy is greater.
But this test only looks at intra-familial experiences.
Abuse/neglect from teachers, bullying from peers, etc. count as extra-familial experiences.

Clearly developmental psychologists are just hippies who have no idea how parental behavior influences children.
1 because my father used to throw tantrums and almost punch me and I was horrified of him
also I was raped by another boy in the neighborhood but he wasn't 5 years older than me so it doesn't count I guess?
1 according to this, but....why does the fact that my parents both died when I was a kid not count? All you "child of divorce" whiners can blow me.

You sure that he wasn't (8) an alcoholic/addict or (9) depressed or mentally ill?
5.
>>16787311
Death sounds like separation to me.
But yeah this test isn't great. It's not designed to tell you how bad your childhood was. Instead, it's being used in research to determine whether there is a causal link between the experiences listed here and later life problems (mental illness etc.). It's not designed to tell you how bad your childhood was.

>my problem is worse than yours, therefore yours isn't as bad
>this is not how problems work
1. Half of my family is mentally ill.
>>16787165
2. My parents did get divorced and a few times my dad was pretty rough with me. Those were very rare occasions though. Less than five times my whole life.
0. I'm not surprised.
>>16787325
yes, he was just an asshole
unless anger management issues count as mental illness
