Brother, it seems like the numbers counting backwards on some questions make sense.

I remember taking something like this a few years ago and was told that I show signs of depression...but a good sense of humor keeps it at bay.

sadly, brother stevie, the test scores at the time would not copy/.///but it is done so, that someone, will not mark all the same #..and have a little more test validity....

yes, sense of humor is a key to good mental health..
