The main signs of dependent personality disorder include:
difficulties in making everyday decisions without a great deal of advice and reassurance from others;
dependence on others to take responsibility for the most important issues in their lives;
problems in taking initiative and doing things on their own because of a lack of self-confidence;
need to obtain nurturance and support from others;
feeling uncomfortable or helpless when alone because of exaggerated fears of being unable to care for themselves; and other symptoms.
This test covers all the symptoms of Dependent Personality Disorder. However, as any other self-reported test, it does not replace proper professional assessment. If your score indicates that, you have a probability of having a dependent personality disorder, but proper mental health assessment does not find any, it means that the test is mistaken in your case and provided a false-positive result.
