I don't think Pierley and Redford are real people - instead, I think it's a disguised play on (Nick) Medford and (Barbara) Brierley, who have both done research on depersonalisation (for example: http://www-bmu.psychiatry.cam.ac.uk/publications/medford06emo.pdf.) They're cited on the Wikipedia page for depersonalization disorder.

Interestingly I think the site might have once used the "proper" names (if you google "Medford Brierley disassociative" it's all links to the same quiz) but changed at some point; maybe people kept hassling the researchers about it. But there's no evidence that the test is a real clinical tool, or had anything to do with these people.

In any case, the results seem to be Barnum statements, but I did find the test genuinely sinister and very nicely done.

Lol what?

So is this an Arg or isn't it? If it is a new game its creepy as heck. I sent off an email but can't really say I think anything will come of it.

Took the test, but I feel like my "diagnosis" is very much unlike me. Although, I also feel like some of the questions I just guessed on because I felt like neither answer was accurate.

Definitely looks interesting though. Might shoot them an email.

I'll just say that mine were pretty terrifyingly accurate...I'd rather not post it here. (Partly because I closed the window already. Laughing

)

I emailed him as well. I am very much in with this.

I like the "W.H.O.M" as part of the Sexual Relationship database xD

I absolutely love the questions and their progression. What a mind-game!
I got the same "Handy in real world..." diagnosis.

If this isn't an ARG, I will consider it very ARG inspired web-art.
