Is there some online test or something you can take to find out your potential for suicide?

I think the cutting habit I am working on getting over was the main trigger for the suisidle thoughts. It is strange I don't want to die anymore, however I can't stop cutting at my wrist in the deadly direction. Granted it is happening less often and I never cut verry deap. I'm not worried about my self anymore. Things seem to be going better. so I should be fine. But the fack that I didn't know if I could prevent myself from commiting suiside for a wile made me wonder about if there was a test to see how serious my thoughts are/where. If I had a test that told me I might accually end my life I would tell or warn someone.

I suppose it's very simple... Do you wish you were dead?
But then it gets complicated because you have to refine that question and really there are TYPES of suicidalities.
But the biggest refinements to that one question above have to do with how long has that feeling been there and was it triggered by something or just there? The other is... can you see the feeling ending any other way?
The only other use for a test I can think of would be to document to someone else that you're suicidal, which is silly if they can't just sit down and listen to you say this phrase "I want to kill myself."

And usually the suisidle side of me is to busy contemplating on how to do it rather then trying to talk with someone, idk. Now that I think about it I've never told anyone that I used to have suisidle thoughts. ^^; I'm sure they are no big deal. Just because I think about it sometimes doesn't mean that I accually will.

well, you've just taken a test, then, in a way. Now there's no scale, and if there was would it be easy to understand what each level on the scale really meant? Probably not ( ... )

Thankyou. That is a good perspective. I'll probably go back and read this a few times. because words on this topic mean a lot to me. It helps me see my self better in a way if people understand me. If that make sense. :-)
