On the ACES assessment, every single one of the 10 things asked about is known to cause neurological issues in children which persist throughout their lives. Only a 0 is insignificant. A 1 is very significant. I also scored “low” and thought it didn’t mean anything, but I’ve since learned every single one means a lot.
Even my 1 feels a bit cheated, since I’m assuming the intent of that question was someone in my family other than me has depression. I guess you can say it correctly predicted me having high risk, but it’s obvious from the kinds of questions asked that that’s mostly accidental, and that my struggles weren’t really considered.

I scored an eight and while I don’t let it define me, it has been helpful for some stuff.
