0-25 Points = Low Risk:
When the point total that you calculated ranges from 0-25, your teen may be considered to be in the low risk category. Adolescents and teens in this category may be exhibiting some behaviors that are alarming or disturbing to parents, however many of these behaviors are characteristic for this age category.

26-40 Points = Moderate Risk:
When the point total that you calculated ranges from 26-40 points, your adolescent or teen may be considered to be in the moderate risk category. Adolescents and teens in this category may be exhibiting several behaviors that are alarming or disturbing to parents. Due to the number of behaviors that your child may be exhibiting, there may be need for some concern. Your adolescent or teen may receive assistance and benefit from counseling, extra parental direction and supervision and family activities.

41-75 Points = High Risk:
When the point total that you calculated ranges from 41-75 points, your adolescent or teen may be considered to be in the high risk category. Adolescents and teens in this category may be exhibiting many behaviors that are disturbing and upsetting to parents and are in need of assistance and help. We recommend and suggest individual and family counseling, as well as extra parental direction and supervision. Potential placement of your child may be needed.

76-100 = Needs Immediate Help:
When the point total that you calculated ranges form 76-100, your adolescent or teen may need immediate and instant assistance and help. Adolescents and teens in this category may have engaged in a major and significant number of behaviors that are dangerous, life threatening and unsafe. Immediate and urgent assistance and help and placement of your child is advised and recommended.

***If you checked three or more of the boxes that contain a point value of 5, please refer to the needs immediate help category for a more accurate assessment of your child's situation.

Now mind you, I have a really good teenager.  She fell into category two, just for being a teenager.  I found this assessment to be absolutely ludicrous, by the way, and have posted sheerly for entertainment value.

Very soon now the drug will cause the subject to experience a deathlike paralysis together with deep feelings of terror and helplessness. One of our earlier test subjects described it as being like death. A sense of stifling and drowning.
And it is during this period that we have found the subject will make his most rewarding associations between his catastrophic experience and involvement with the violence he sees.

I once did once of these and used my memory of myself then that of my younger bro as teens. I was fairly average and fitted category 3. My brother had been something of a handful and he was category 5.

Shall I post the whole list then?  These questions really are on it...part of what amused me about the test.  My straight A, honor student, scout fell into category two.  Gimme a break.

The parent's filling these forms out and believing the results are the first ones that should be sent to get your shit together parenting camp.

Helass pindakass, the barn door is open and the cows are all out. Let's drink the kool aid!
