This doesn't mean that you have schizophrenia, it means that you might benefit by speaking with a doctor. Obviously, a multiple choice test on the internet cannot give a valid diagnosis. A professional psychiatric evaluation is the right place to start. Life is stressful and everyone needs help sometimes.
