Is the psychological test credible?
Psychological tests are generally accurate, but because there are some hints during the test and the questions are fixed, the results of psychological tests can only be used as reference, not as diagnostic criteria.

Psychological tests are generally divided into self-test and others' evaluation. Self-test requires me to answer questions according to fixed questions, while others' evaluations are mostly tested by psychological testers through questions and answers. Generally speaking, the accuracy of others' evaluation is slightly higher than that of self-test. The topic of psychological test is generally fixed, and everyone's knowledge level, education level, personal understanding and cognitive thinking are different, so psychological test is generally only used as a reference for auxiliary exams. If the disease needs to be diagnosed, it needs to be comprehensively judged according to the clinical manifestations of the patients.

Psychological testing is subjective to some extent, and people's psychology is very complicated, so it is difficult to be completely accurate by psychological testing alone. Therefore, professional psychological tests related to medical contents, such as self-rating depression scale, are recommended to be tested in hospitals and diagnosed by professional doctors in combination with clinical symptoms. If it is an entertaining psychological test, it is not recommended to believe the results completely.
