Your score is: 26
26-49. Suggests some indications of IMS. You may want to take the quiz again to see if things improve or get worse.
I am by far the most laid back person I know. In my opinion this test is heavily biased, especially with the diagnosis of "results". If irritable male syndrome is anything, it is a lesser form of sociopathy, of which males are predominate.
I believe there are a lot of valid disorders that have been identified, but that this is not one of them. When you are stressed out, figuring out what you're going to do with your life, taking on responsibilities, coming of age, dealing with financial burdens, etc. you will shows signs of that stress.
16-26 is a very stressful time and i'm not suprised that some people are grumpy because of it. If "IMS" were a true syndrome it would be fairly consistent throughout a person's lifetime, but the way they are presenting it is that it just appears during these stressful times. It has a poor foundation and nonexistant symptoms- they are looking the disorder "by degrees", but the results that prove IMS are well within normal range of variation in individuals. This is a crackpot theory and should be junked.
