3+ = 21

Now I have an excuse for being an idiot. Yay.

Yes, this is what happened. Probably doesn't bode well.
 
According to that, my case of ADD is phenomenally bad.
 
If you can play a computer game for 3 hours then you dont have ADD.
 
If this poll had shown which users had voted having ADD, I would rank them all even lower on Shens' Overrated and Pretentious Popularity Chart. Because you lie to gain attention you see.

Not that many of you can even go any lower.

Is your avatar and that image enough, or do you want to reuse some more SA content? Knock it off.

I think it was extremely obvious it is SA content and that my post was excessively arrogant and overbearing in its delivery.
 
No, but I have OCD, which is the dumbest mental disorder you can have. I wake up in the middle of the night to make sure all the doors in the house are locked D:

I think it's obvious only to those who are SA forum members, and the many out there who are not have no idea where it comes from. I think you should stop using it, and that you won't be warned again.

I will.
 
Does one really need a test to know whether he's capable of concentrating?

Statistician ftw.

I hate to brag (or completely and utterly ruin any possible respect I might have had), but I once had Counter-strike: Source running on a server (as in playing) for 12 hours :\

I've done that with DOD. Great stuff, but then i realized I had forgotten to eat.

I do weird stuff like that too. I'll check stuff 5 or 6 times to make sure it's right, even though I knew the 1st time. o.0
 
heh, mental disorders..
Can blame something other than yourself now, make sure it never gets better then!

I'm focused, do everything with purpose, no less no more.
I am obsessed with my health but that is not a mental problem, just me understanding the healthier i am the happier i am.

Do we see a link between the three points here?
 
I'm too lazy to count them all up but 3 or more is 20.

I've always thought that I have a case of ADD. I'm always moving -- my knee going up and down, tapping my fingers; I can never stay concentrated: thoughts are always running through my head: "Oh, look at the shitty ceiling," "I like his pants," "She won't shut the **** up!"

on the contrary. Just becuase people with ADD are easily distracted and can have a lot of trouble focusing, they can also be more absorbed into things that interest them than other people. (although they can still be easily distracted from playing the game or watching the movie)

I have Bi-Polar disorder 2, ADD, OCD, and some eating and sleeping disorders. The last physciatrist i was speaking with says these things can be closely related so if you have one, its not that unlikely that you have multiple disorders. She said terrets syndrome can go along with these too. Can you belive that it could actually be worse? My life sucks so bad. I'll take the test later and post the results.

Bwahaha I'm a little like that. But only when talking to people who don't have anything important to say.

People with ADD often can hyperfocus. I know I'm capable of getting so involved in something I'm interested in that I won't even hear people talking to me.

Having ADD is usually considered a disorder, but people who have it often have strengths that get lost among the problems. I've learned ways to use hyperfocusing to my advantage and I can look at problems in ways that other people miss. You have to think of your brain as being wired differently than others; unfortunately society just prefers using teaching methods that favor the more "organized" people.

Similarly, OCD can sometimes make me incredibly dilligent and persistent

I was too lazy to count everything so I just found I had 42 items 3 or more.

Example: Started my math homework at 10 in the morning, its almost 5 PM and I'm not done.
