Let’s face it, we’ve all become difficult persons at one point in our lives. While that’s totally normal, it still pays to know if most of those times, you’ve gone overboard or, perhaps, continue to do so.

There’s an online test making rounds on the internet that you might want to check out.  Developed by IDRLabs as the “Difficult Person Test,” it determines if you are, indeed, a challenging person to deal with.

The test is steeped in research conducted by Dr. Chelsea Sleep, Ph.D. and her colleagues at the University of Georgia in Athens, Georgia. It focuses on the seven key factors that define difficult people: callousness (lack of empathy for others), grandiosity (sense of self-importance), aggressiveness (tendency to behave rudely), suspicion (unreasoning distrust for others), manipulativeness (tendency to exploit others), dominance (need to be superior to others), and risk-taking (need to behave brashly for attention or sensation). 

These seven factors will then be used to determine how difficult you are as a person. 

“We have strived to make the test as reliable and valid as possible by subjecting it to statistical controls and validation,” IDRLabs wrote on its website.

It has gone viral online with people sharing their results in hilarious tweets.

“Took the ‘Are you a difficult person’ test in fifth hour today, and my most difficult trait was being aggressive. And at first, I was like, ‘What! Not me!’ Then 20 minutes later, I caught myself yelling at my salad,” one Twitter user said.

Another user tweeted, “My boyfriend and I took the Difficult Person Test. I am somewhat and he is very. Yes, we’re evil but we’re evil together.”

 “The Difficult Person Test said I was a bitch. So from now on, Ima be nice to everyone,” one netizen wrote.

Dare to take the test?

Head over to the test website and answer the 35 quick questions by saying if you agree or disagree with the statement in front of you.

Once you’re done, the site will come up with a chart that shows the level of your “difficulty” traits and a percentage of how difficult or easy you are to be with.

Good luck! It might be just what you needed.
