Frequently Asked Questions

  • Q. How is the mood swings test scored?

    A. You answer 12 questions written by Giggleus (not a validated scale) from 'Not at all' (0) to 'Very much' (4), for a total of 0 to 48. 0–11 is Emotionally Steady, 12–23 Gentle Ripples, 24–35 Clear Mood Swings and 36–48 Emotional Rollercoaster.

    A. No. The test only reflects your recent mood swings and relationship worries; it can't detect BPD or any other condition. Only an assessment by a qualified clinician can diagnose that.

  • Q. What should I do if my score is high?

    A. When emotions peak, hold off on decisions and messages and move your body for a bit.
