Online tests can be fun but they should never be taken seriously
Even validated tests can be wrong sometimes, so we always need to take different sources of information in consideration
Results can be influenced by:
-characteristics of the clinician
-motivation (patient can simulate symptoms for benefits, or pretend symptoms are less present)
-question structure (way and order in which questions are written)
-response style
-culture
-understanding emotions, thoughts and behaviour
-self-descriptive techniques, assessment of statements, clear and specific stimuli
