Below is Dr. Phil's test.
It isn't Dr. Dhil's test.

If you need genuine help go see a real psychologist.
Dr Phil is a real psychologist.

Dr. Phil isn't a Dr.
He has a doctorate but isn't an MD.

but Dr Phil is REALLY good at self-promotion.

41 TO 50 POINTS: Others see you as fresh, lively, charming, amusing, practical, and always interesting; someone who's constantly in the center of attention, but sufficiently well-balanced not to let it go to their head. They also see you as kind, considerate, and understanding; someone who'll always cheer them up ! and help them out.

Scored 44.

I got a 43, but I think Dr Phil is a quack and put no stake in anything associated with him.

My Score: 42


I don't know if that's how people see me though, so I'm not sure how accurate it is.

He's also very good at promoting his wife and kids - whom he's had on his show many times. Personally, I can't stand the guy.

31 TO 40 POINTS: Others see you as sensible, cautious, careful & practical. They see you as clever, gifted, or talented, but modest. Not a person who makes friends too quickly or easily, but someone who's extremely loyal to friends you do make and who expect the same
loyalty in return. Those who really get to know you realize it takes a lot to shake your trust in your friends, but equally that it takes you a long time to get over it if that trust is ever broken.

People who take these tests for anything other than amusement/entertainment purposes should seek therapy.
