Cos online quizzes are SO accurate. :p Plus it's totally not the diagnosis du jour. Not to say you don't have it; I'd just never trust an online test and so many disorders have similar symptoms! See a psychologist if you think you have it..
What, are you too good to go to the internet for medical diagnoses? :P Actually, I have been to a therapist and a psychiatrist (and recently a nurse practitioner) and Bipolar is on the list of things that could be wrong with me. Right now they still aren't completely sure though, they've changed their minds a few times over the years and are trying to keep things open. I do identify with it though, and it does run in my family. It's a lot easier to tell people "I'm bipolar" rather than "Well, I could be bipolar, but I could also be X, X, X, X, X, or X. I forget where I landed on the DSMIV dartboard this week...". Plus, c'mon, all the cool kids are doing it. AND THE INTERNETZ ARE NEVER WRONG. ;)
