What is Winnie the Pooh Pathology Test on TikTok?
The Winnie The Pooh TikTok Pathology Test is a questionnaire that allegedly reveals which mental health disorders a person may suffer from based on the Winnie The Pooh character that they are most similar to. The test was created by Individual Differences Research and it uses a person's answers to a series of statements about their emotions and reactions to different scenarios to compare them to characters from the kid’s show.
What Questions Are on the Pooh Pathology Test? The test consists of 33 questions, including:
When I feel overwhelmed by my senses, I have to isolate myself to shut them down.
My thoughts jump from topic to topic with little consistency or control.
The thought of having no one in my corner to look out for me makes me seriously afraid.
If a good thing comes my way, I don’t feel happy about it. I don’t feel I deserve to be happy.
I am quick to act on a whim, thinking little about the negative consequences of my actions.
Even when things are going fine for me, I am anxious that it won’t last.
I always make sure that my work is well-planned and well-structured.
Sarcasm and tone of voice are often lost on me.
I am constantly daydreaming.
When I start feeling down, it’s as if I keep sinking until I’ve hit rock bottom."
What Mental Health Disorder is Each Character Related To?
Winnie The Pooh is related to Attention Deficit Disorder, with the test claiming that he gets “easily lost in his own world” and has a “short attention span” with an “obsessive fixation” on honey.
Piglet is said to have an Anxiety Disorder due to his excessive worrying and anticipation of negative outcomes.
Eeyore is related to Depression, with the test alleging that he suffers from “chronically low moods” and “feelings of hopelessness”.
Tigger is said to have ADHD due to his overly excited and high energy personality.
Rabbit is suggested to have OCD, as the test claims that his neat house and garden are linked to symptoms of “perfectism”.
Roo is related to Autism, as the test claims that he “lacks awareness of what is going on around him” and is often “unaware of social clues and subtexts”.
Christopher Robin is linked to Schizophrenia, as the test claims that he could have two ego states, “an ordinary one in the real world and a magical one”, and he believes he can talk to animals and creates an entire fantasy world.
It is important to note that the test should not be misconstrued as professional or “certified advice” and that “no test ever devised can designate your personality style with complete accuracy.” Despite this, the test has become the internet’s latest viral trend on TikTok.
