I had to look this up, because I had never heard of it, but it is an actual test/quiz about traumatic events that may have happened before your 18th birthday: https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2015/03/02/387007941/take-the-ace-quiz-and-learn-what-it-does-and-doesnt-mean Edited December 9, 2018 by CrazyRedhead 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dancesintherain Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 I got a 4. There have been lots of studies about the correlation between the total experiences and health implications--both mental and physical health. It was a little surprising when it came out because it was a pretty homogeneous crowd (white middle-aged). I think they've replicated it with other populations now. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrazyRedhead Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 Having gotten a score of 0, I'm guessing that my MI is not related to traumatic childhood experiences....... My father did not have any MI himself, but several female relatives on his side of the family did......My aunt (dad's sister) was an alcoholic, was depressed, and accidentally killed herself at age 52, by mixing pills and alcohol........We believe it was accidental because she didn't leave a note.

confused Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 I got a 4. It took me a long time to put that chaos into any words. Now, I know it was traumatic for me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now, I know it was traumatic for me. that's where I fall also. It took me a while to have language surrounding what happened, but I recognize the significance these days.

Geek Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 I also got a solid 4. I am having a hard time with the word "trauma" with respect to my childhood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
